A drifter finds a box of sunglasses. He puts them on. The billboards say OBEY. The money says THIS IS YOUR GOD. The people in suits have no faces.
John Carpenter made They Live in 1988 as a gag about Reagan-era consumerism. He accidentally made one of the most unsettling movies ever committed to film. It has a fistfight scene so long and so ferocious it became a cultural landmark. It has a synth score that will live in your brain forever. It cost almost nothing and it has never stopped being relevant.
We're watching it together in a living room, which is exactly how it should be watched.
