Top 10 John Carpenter

John Carpenter is a Director who plays by his own rules. He's also one of the few guys who even gets to have his name above the title. 

Though he hasn't made a great Film in many years (In The Mouth Of Madness was my last true Favorite of his), he's had quite a run. The late 70's and the entire 80's belonged to Carpenter. He has made quite a number of memorable low-budget and Studio Films. John Carpenter is a Cinema god.
