For me it’s Interstellar, it never fails to make me ugly cry at least twice during each viewing
John Carpenter’s 1982 masterpiece The Thing. The themes of paranoia and isolation are so perfectly explored; it launched the career of Keith David, who is just a treasure; the performances are all immaculate; and those effects. My god, the effects.
Damn, that movie really messed me up as a kid, watching it alone.
I can imagine; I wouldn’t recommend it for kids. Way too much gore and tension.
My god, the effects.
My god, the soundtrack. He’s a fantastic musician. I really liked his Lost Themes, especially Wraith:
Absolutely amazing movie, the effects were so ahead of their time!
Right? I can’t watch it with people anymore, because I keep pausing to explain how certain effects were achieved. It’s a monumental achievement.
