John Carpenter favorites
 

My vote goes to:

Assault on Precinct 13

Comment: What a wonderful soundtrack it has…

Runner-ups:

Escape from New York / The Thing

They live

Roddy Piper is the king of one liners in that movie.

Life's a bitch, and she's back in heat!

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum

You, you're ok. This one, real fuckin' ugly.

Nice....today's horror kick is getting me all hott and bothered:D. Out of these I picked Halloween even though my favorite Halloween is the second one....they are all great to me. Halloween is easily my favorite of all the "horror series." After that my favorites are In the Mouth of Madness and Prince of Darkness.

The Thing

it's a remake, but what a movie!!!

The best sci-fi thriller of all time!

Escape from New York #2!

Halloween is probably his most critically acclaimed & a very scary movie, but it's my #3 for pure entertainment.

oops i went for one you didnt have on the poll, i'll change to prescint 13

I consider John Carpenter to be my favourite director. His best is Halloween, followed closely by the Thing.

I can't vote because I haven't seen any of the movies in their entirety.

The Thing, of course, silly!

got to be halloween and he did the soundtrack too.
