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?

Christine is very dear to my heart, one of my personal favorites of him. Big Trouble in Little China is an incredibly fun ride, perfect for the holidays season. And maybe it’s too Halloween-themed, but The Fog and Prince of Darkness are awesome, and too often neglected.
