I've been rewatching John Carpenter movies. I really like his films, he explored a lot of the same themes of this thread in his work. I'm sure most of you are familiar with him but yeah he's worth rewatching.

I watched Prince Of Darkness which is kind of cheesy but its a smart take on a Satan type movie, has a lot of cool scenes in it. They Live! which is kind of the matrix before the matrix and is alternately funny and a perfect analogy for modern society. The Thing which might be the greatest Cosmic Horror of all time. I think that's his best film, the prequel is a solid precursor to it on a movie night.
