I did open it up going “it better have The Thing in there somewhere”. Unfortunately, it is actually #102 on the list, presumably because it wasn’t well-received when it came out but went in to be a cult classic.
Isn’t it interesting that upon release The Thing wasn’t well received at all, it got horrid reviews. I just think the camera work style Carpenter used was so unlike movies at the time, it didn’t land, but over time people began to appreciate the movie as John Carpenter intended in the first place.
I know and it’s a damn shame. They also had scathing reviews for the lack of personality to the characters which is a load of bull. Sadly Carpenters whole career was so underappreciated. I’m glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves now, but when you work your buns off for decades only to get shit on left and right, finally getting love almost 40 years after the fact is kind of too little too late.
I would say it’s a horror movie, but I get where you’re coming from as it might feel more like a thriller, but in my eyes it’s a horror movie and every Hannibal movie is.
Hersey, The Thing isn’t even in the top 5. I wouldn’t classify The Silence of the Lambs as horror personally.

I was just barging in to rant about The Things absence
