John Carpenter's Christine (1983)

[DoubleBarreledShotgun]

I do quite enjoy this film. Just a good nostalgic time all around. Not scary or anything, but a good film nonetheless.

Christine was the first dvd I ever got, fun fact.

I totally disagree, the main theme with the car that it was like an avatar for the deceased Lebay is completely wiped away and instead the car is inherently evil sort of takes away alot of the originality, though neither idea is particularly revolutionary. Also Arnies decent into madness is a way more underplayed. Obviously you cant recreate a book on screen, but i thought this was a rather poor adaptation.In the book Lebay was a complete douche and after his death his personality is extended to the car as a crazy asshole, in the movie Arnie just buys a car and becomes possessed by it...i guess. Special effects are top notch though and the final battle is awesome as far as those are concerned.

If they would to remake any SK novel, I vote The Running Man...thats nothing like the novel

As for Christine, nothing will ever come close to Carpenter's film ever.
