They Live (1988)
They Live=Great Movie
This movie is extremely under rated and often forgotten. If not for some television appearances, I think people would totally forget about it.
The movie is great in 2 ways. 1, It gives us an in depth story line that is no doubt a point of view of the writer/director, John Carpenter. I think that this man has an excellent grasp on what is really going on in the world. Sublimital messages through marketing, a secret control over the world right under our noses. I think that this movie is a message for us to wake up, and I think that this is exactly what Carpenter was trying to convey. We have characters like the bum who becomes rich by joining the bad guys. People selling themselves out for opportunity. This movie has an amazing message. Many people will take this movie as a simple B-movie, with Sci-Fi value, and never look at it any deeper. I don't know about you guys, but other than being literal and giving you a decoded message as captured through the eyes of the main character, this totally resembles the world I live in. Minus the Sci-Fi aspect, you basically have the real world, compelling us to consume, preying on our animalistic instincts.
and 2, this is a fun movie to watch.
Guys, stop focusing on the actors and the Sci-Fi sugar coating. This movie makes an amazing statement.
Ghost Town (1988)
ghost town- classic
i saw this movie when i was a kid, and it is way cool. it kinda reminds me of movies made in that time like the gate, and the pit. cool late 80s movies ruled. this movie had some cool special effects for the time too. it seems like now, its just forgotten. i wonder if anyone else has seen it who remembers it for being cool. i think it would totally rule to get this out on DVD. it wasn't until recently that garbage pail kids came out officially. we need the monster squad too. does anyone else have any ideas for cool movies that are similar that need to come out on DVD? all of those movies rule. it brings me back to a time when movies were good, these days movies just seem to suck.
