Best John Carpenter Film

[Wicked Nick]

I think I would have and easier time naming the films I didn't like than movies I did like, because I love John Carpenters films. I personnaly think he is the best horror movie director ever. The only John Carpenter film I really don't like is Prince of darkness, its such a disapointment to watch. The Fog would have to go as my second least favorite. Other than those two everything else he did kicks ass.

1) The Thing- Carpenter's masterpiece.
2) Prince of Darkness- only saw it once, but it's stuck with me. Most disturbing imagery of all his films, IMO
3) Halloween- I like the tension and stalker aspects of this film.
4) Big Trouble in Little China- A fun film, and Kurt Russell's dorky impression is one of Carpenter's funniest scenes.
5) Cigarette Burns- Another tension-laced film, but the black humor was a little heavy-handed.

I like most of John Carpenter's movies.  I will list some of them in the order of my favorite:

1. The Thing.  Very freaky, yet it never gets old.
2. Vampires.  I like the new take on the original vampire.
3. Big Trouble in Little China.
4. Prince of Darkness.
5. They Live.
6. In the Mouth of Madness.
7. The Fog.
8. Halloween.
9. Escape From New York.

Has anyone else scene a patter here?  Kurt Russlle is in at least 3 of the movies.
