They Live

On tonight on Five US, at 10:40.

F*cking brilliant sci-fi film, really eerie and strange.

It may seem cheesy upon first watching, but it's classic.

http://imdb.com/title/tt0096256/

Saw this a few years back and was really mesmerised about the idea, and the entire time period, style it was set in really gives it that creepy, disturbing appearance.

I didn't actually know what it was called until browsing earlier, but I've been wanting to see it again for some time now.

Anyone who has seen this know's what I'm talking about.

I saw this film on sci-fi last year, i thought it was pretty good, suprised to see that 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper didn't suck unlike some other wrestler turned actors...Some good lines in the movie as well.

"I came here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and i'm all out of bubblegum" might of got the in the wrong order but hey...

Best wrestling actor ever . . . Terry "Hulk" Hogan, in such classics as santa with muscles and Thunder in paradise 2

That was so awesome.

The 5 or so minute fight scene was great too, and it was especially funny Frank calls him a dirty motherf***er. :lol:

Awesome.

That awesome 5 minute alley fight was recreated in an episode of South Park. It’s done as a fight between Timmy and Jimmy – hence the episode title ‘Cripple Fight’. Not quite as good as the real thing but pretty funny.

Maybe my favourite thing about They Live is the film score. Composed by Carpenter himself it is a brilliant piece of 80’s bleakness. Halloween III is another good Carpenter film if you enjoy his scores.
 
I love this movie. Haven't seen it for years, infact it had faded away into the background like so many others. Cheers for the reminder Kurogane. Mite be a bit cheesy but the idea behind the movie is masterfull.
