Movie Thread - Movies that make an impression

[Lhancelot]

I was thinking about old movies, and one that really left an impression on me as a kid was The Thing, with Kurt Russell. It actually was a reboot of a old 30s movie iirc.

This movie was highly suspenseful, and what it lacked in campiness compared to older Carpenter movies it more than made up for with ahead-of-its-time special effects and great moments of suspense and characters.

Anyway, the newer version made in 1982 frightened me but at the same time intrigued me because it made me think for the first time as a small child that aliens could actually be BAD if they landed on the earth lol.

I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys sci fi flicks.

Also, the director John Carpenter is one of the rare directors who not only directs the movie but creates his own soundtracks. The music is his own.
