Assault on Precinct 13 (1976)

  On his first day at his new job, Lieutenant Ethan Bishop is in for a big night. His assignment is to stand guard to a former police station and make sure that all the closing procedures are handled right. Little does he know that he will find himself in the way of a street gang anxious to take revenge on the police. And these gangsters are equipped with more than just molotof bombs...
  An early John Carpenter, way before his classic slasher films and utopian Sci-Fi, directs this ultimate thriller film. Soon characterized as one of the most exciting siege movies, this film is ultra low-budget but succeeds in its purpose to the max. Fast-pacing action, lots of gun fights and comradery in the most unlikely places, you just have to watch this one!
  Ethan Bishop is quite good in his part as the policeman in charge of defending this useless building and Darwin Joston is his only desperate help, an otherwise notorious criminal. An interesting blend of characters (that don't have enough space to evolve) under extreme pressure.
Must watch this : with a big-ass pizza and two bottles of supreme quality beer. After the film, use the bottles to make molotof bombs while listening to that shit and then go to your area's police station and throw them at it. Be sure to be able to run fast afterwards.

"Hey, there's a police station down the street. Let's go shoot at it!" "Right on"

So young, so innocent

Ready, Aim, Shoot

Escape From New York (1981)

  1997. New York has been turned into the biggest maximum security prison in the world. The President's plane crashes into New York and he is held hostage by a group of criminals who demand better imprisonment conditions. There is only one man who can enter this prison and get out alive and that is Snake Plissken...
  You can tell it's the 80's by the way the are dressed and you sure gotta love the weird charm of it! Another fine addition in the Sci-Fi genre by master John Carpenter. Dystopian situations, oppressive and corrupt government officials,a prison city run by a respected criminal and his team of weirdly dressed henchmen, a classic son of a bitch/hero and lots of 80's freakiness.
  All-star male cast parading in this film! Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Kurt Russell and Isaac Hayes! The  General, the Taxi Driver, the Snake and the Duke. Too bad Kurt Russell's performance isn't as good as the others' or the level would have been much higher. But we don't care much, right? Especially when we have such a great story and violent 80's action? No sir, we don't!
Must watch this : the day before your country's elections. Grab a beer and watch this with the dudes. The next day remember that all politicians are crooked and vote as you must. Start a fight with the policemen standing outside the voting center just because you feel like it!

The Duke abides!

Halloween (1978)

  Halloween of 1963. Young Michael murders his sister with a butcher knife. 15 years later, Michael escapes from the mental hospital he has been since then, only to continue his sick work. The only one who can stop him is is his doctor, who is chasing him in this frightful night of Halloween.
  John Carpenter does his trick again with this instant classic. Moving away from his classic Sci-Fi mood, Carpenter leaves his personal touch in the slasher genre. Awesome choice of name and day, a psychotic killer born to slice up people and the notorious Carpenter air of danger and horror! What else do you need?
  Jamie Lee Curtis' first appearance in the big screen and what a magnificent scream-queen she made! Tony Moran plays Michael Myers and does so well behind his mask while Donald Pleasence is his arch enemy-savior doctor who tries to stop him.
Must watch this : on a Halloween night or a random foggy November night while having a good pizza and some Coca Cola, wrapped up in your blankets.

The Fog (1980)

  Small seaside town, Antonio Bay, is preparing to celebrate its Centenary. Bizarre happenings shake up the town as zombie-like ghosts emerge from the fog that has surrounded the area. The citizens are up for a real surprise when they find out that these ghosts are victims of the town's founding fathers and they are out for revenge! No one can escape the fog!
  You can expect nothing less than a cult classic when you have John Carpenter directing it! This film boasts an incredible mood and a gloomy atmosphere all bound together in a story that could easily be in an exploitation movie 10 years before its time. Carpenter manages just the right amount of exaggeration and horror and brings a new air in the genre of paranormal activities and old legends!
   Jamie Lee Curtis, Adrienne Barbeau, Tom Atkins and Hal Holbrook play the main characters in this all-time classic spook! You gotta love Curtis as always with her naive looks and her own unique way of being a scream queen! Aided by hard-case manly man tom Atkins and ye ol' faithful Hal Holbrook, she is out to teach the ghosts a lesson! Adrienne Barbeau is the unlucky one stuck in the radio station giving another meaning to "Can't stop the party".
Must watch this : on a cold (maybe snowy) January night with your blankets and everything, a cup of instant soup and your cuddling companion.

They Live (1988)

  In the not-so-far future, a drifter finds a unique pair of sunglasses that allow him to see people how they truly are. Soon, he realizes that aliens have taken over the Earth, controlling the media, the bank system, politics and everything in general. Only a few people on Earth are still human. He soon finds out that he may have to do more than he thought for his planet!
  Classic John Carpenter here. But in a more rebellious, wake-up-and-fuck-everything style. The story may sound childish (sunglasses) but it delivers the messages just in the way the director wishes to. The set and time of the movie is not so futuristic so it will not seem weird to many people.
  Roddy Piper and Keith David play the classic macho duo that is something of an anti-hero team but eventually saves the world that 80's films taught us how to love! The duo's punchlines are beyond bad-ass in most cases (watch out for the punchline in the scene at the bank) and they generally don't give much shit about anything.They are just here to kick ass!
Must watch this : after listening to Ixpapalotl's "Saave Lonam Estimitie" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gvHayVNnc4 and with the must-have pizzas and frozen beers.Of course you need your jackass guys' company!
