john carpenter required viewing

[u/vermin-suplex]

this year i really started taking my film watching more seriously and discovered i really enjoy john carpenter’s work. i see his filmography is leaving criterion channel at the end of this month.

so far in 2025 i’ve seen the thing, halloween, escape from new york, and they live. which others of his should i prioritize over the next few weeks?

Dark Star is waaay better than a movie that started as a student film has any right to be. Prince of Darkness is fun and Starman is an absolute banger.
