I enjoyed They Live in the 80's, and I still do now.

A fun and entertaining sci-fi classic - one of Carpenter's best.

And then there's one of these guys.

It's a tongue in cheek satire not a political manifesto or some forward looking work of cautinary fiction.

They Live is my 2nd favorite "B-movie" of all time - (Big Trouble in Little China being my favorite).
