They Live (1988)

This is a movie from the man who brought you one of the greatest horror movies of all time in Halloween, the man that made Kurt Russell bad ass in Escape From New York, and now John Carpenter brings you the horror/Sci-Fi classic in They Live which features WWE hall of famer Roddy Piper. Piper stars as a drifter named Nada, who after putting on a pair of sunglasses discovers that certain people look weird. In fact, he figures out that their aliens who are controlling everything in the world. He tries to convince Frank (Keith David), another guy down on his luck in California about the aliens and eventually does. Now, it's up to them to try and save the world and expose the aliens so people will wake up and believe them. This movie is a classic and I enjoy it every time I watch it. It also stars George "Buck" Wallace (Pumpkinhead), Peter Jason (Seabiscuit), and Sy Richardson (Dead Man Walking) as the simply put Black Revolutionary. Three Stars Out Of Five because I believe Roddy Pipers acting chops were up to par in this film and John Carpenter is a visionary.
