What's your fave movie of all time that you love to recommend to people?
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.
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.
Love that one too. What do you (or anybody with a theory or the answer) think is the meaning of the ending?
I think it's intentionally ambiguous. For me, the point is the paranoia and distrust. I might be wrong, of course, but my interpretation is that we are supposed to leave the experience with questions.
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 soundtrack. He's a fantastic musician. I really liked his Lost Themes, especially Wraith:

I love Keith David.
This my favourite joke involving him:
