@Ilov80s - I've been thinking about your comments about Carpenter, and honestly I mostly agree.  I just have movies like The Thing that I love, but the rest are spotty.   For me one reason is who he works with - it's not like actors such as Kurt Russel are faves, and works with a few like that a ton.   But more importantly, it seems more than most directors, Carpenter is there for the paycheck and a job.   He doesn't seem to come off as though he gives two craps about the "art" of it, or particularly attached to his work and I think his movies reflect that a bit.  He stays in his lane about as much as a director can do, and if you don't really like that lane I could see not many movies sticking for people. 
I think only Halloween, The Thing, In the Mouth of Madness, and maybe one that could show up here I would bother sticking my neck out for.   The others have varying degrees of goodness for me, but nothing I would rate much higher than a 6 or 7/10.
