Heh!  Yeah, that was OK...still I kinda like the campy old original.

IMO Carpenter's best is:

1-Big Trouble in Little China - The mix of martial arts, Chinese black magic, Kurt Russell and snappy dialogue is pretty good.
2-They Live - "I came here for two things..."
3-Escape from New York - Snake Plissken, enough said.

The rest of his resume doesn't do much for me, others may disagree.

OK, so I might post something if Carpenter kicked...ya got me there!   ;D

Those three are goodies as well. Given the trend of Hollywood remakes, I've wished a time or two that some bona fide conservative film maker would remake "They Live". Awesome opportunity for conservative commentary.
