The first 2 times I saw Ghosts of Mars, I didn't like it but now I keep loving it and it is one of my favorite movies... Cool

It might be more to the point to do a poll of people's second favorite JC film. My second would be Prince of Darkness, followed closely by Escape from New York. The Thing is of course awesome, and I have a soft spot for In the Mouth of Madness.

The poll didn't list his best movie (after Big Trouble): Prince of Darkness

My personal favourite has to be The Thing after BTILC, followed by Escape From New York.

"The Thing" isn't on this list, but "Ghosts of Mars" is??? Confused

What about "Escape from L.A." ? Smile

BTLC is by FAR his most visionary, best flick. But If I had to choose a second, it would be "They Live" by a long shot.

Are you kidding?
"I have come to chew bubble gum and to kick exquisitely varnished Oak-wood storage cabinet, and I'm all out of bubble gum."

One of the best quotes of all time.

I am sorry to say this but I find JC very much a hit or miss kind a guy, he has in his time given us some awesome movies but I think it would be fair to say that for every great film he does there is also a turkey, IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS for gods sake I cannot believe this was done by the same guy who gave us Halloween for example!

Hey but then again I prefer Halloween III to the original so what do I know!

The Thing would have come in second for me

I just voted for 'They Live' and I noticed I was the only one. If we're being honest here BTILC is always going to win this. I mean it's a BTILC fan site so it's always going to be voted as Carpenter's best movie by the folks on here.

They Live had some great lines:

"gonna be hell to pay"

"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick exquisitely varnished Oak-wood storage cabinet... and I'm all out of bubblegum."

"You see, I take these glasses off, she looks like a regular person, doesn't she? Put 'em back on... formaldehyde-face!"

"You... you look like your face fell in the cheese dip back in 1957."

Classics stuff.

And the scene where they beat the hell out of each other for 8 minutes is legendary.
