In ways I cannot calculate, They Live had a tremendous impact on me. Not like Star Wars or Star Trek or The Godfather, but it left me cackling in the theater and - as I got older - made me appreciate how you can take something like a goofy sci-fi film and put even a single idea in it, and everyone who sees that movie *gets it* and will respond to that idea forever. For a kid verging on teendom when I saw the movie, this was a perfect packet delivery system for teaching me a way to look at the world. Who knew?
They Live has several key things we will be looking for
- Meg Foster and her eyes
- Keith David
- the world's most unnecessarily protracted fight scene
- the greatest line ever delivered in cinema, that you know whether you've even heard of this movie or not
