Look, I love Christine, and John Carpenter movies in general, but the notion that it is the best movie ever made is so ludicrous that I don't even know how to respond to it, or why I would bother.

And yet, here we are.

But yeah, I'd watch a sequel. Why not?

...I beg to differ...you CAN polish a fecal left-over.....

[they all float down here]

i would see it

[guido tkp]

okay...i might just bring myself to see a sequel...but, i'm w/burnette: while i abslutely love a good carpenter movie - this ain't one of those

sorry...and it hurts like all hades to say this, but 'tis true nonetheless: this one is more turd

i just rewatched it the other day...and it still is his near dead last really bad film...'escape from la' being the ....turdiest

Christine needs to be re-made in a bad way, by a director who has the funds for some serious ILM effects.

Not with ya on this one, dude. There are several movies based upon an SK work out there that are far superior. (But Christine is still a great read.)

i remember not really being a fan back-in-the-day...

after my recent rewatch, i come away thinking that there were just too many wrong decisons being made...this was a bad match of a great indie film director who, to me (compared to almost any of his own, original movies) , made a movie that feels like he was held over a creative barrel to his new studio overlords

the script lies flat and unengaging...very much unlike the book...

the actors, all near the beginnings of their careers, do not hold the prescense to carry off thier tasks: especially gordon, who, imho, hams it up as often as he hits it square

it shows about zero of carpenters usual flair for dialogue, humor and his usually concise filmic eye

i don't hate the movie...but i cannot in good faith consider it to be a good representation of the near classic, b-movie book

lily is quite correct...this one is dire need of a remake by someone who 'gets' the book...much like 'the running man'

[AchtungBaby]

Ehhh, no.

[guido tkp]

but, me, i'm just tryin' to throw my arms around the world

i'll be awaiting your thoughts until the end of the world

boy !

[Sundrop]

Seriously????.......THE best??????
I love John Carpenter, and Love Stephen King, but this film just didn't do it for me.
It's not even on my personal top 50 list.

[guido tkp]

oh BOY ! :wink2:

I believe that Christine was a good movie,though with todays advancements in film, it could be turned into a better movie. This is my opinion. My favourite scene, which if done today could really chill you, would be the scene where Christine on fire runs down the road and runs over Buddy Repperton. I had nightmares about a car on fire chasing me after I saw that scene. My daughter agrees that there should be a sequel because Christine was not done her business. Her fascination with Christine, both book and movie, has taken her to the task of beginning to write a sequel. If she finishes it I will let you know if it does justice.

To ME this IS the BEST movie. But that's the reason they make so many, not everyone likes the same thing. I'd LOVE to see a sequel, and from nearly everyone I've asked a LOT of people think so. I hope SOMEONE does it!

[jajatoff]

Just finished reading the book, so now feel I have the luxury of an opinion :smile2:

The film was good - enjoyed it very much. The book, of course, was better. Much.

The film diverged from the book in a very important way though in the film it was all about the car whereas in the book it was about LeBay and the car. I'd welcome a film that followed the book more.

Contrary to some, I don't think CGI is that important. If the story is good then you don't need CGI - they are the icing on the cake, not the cake itself. Added to that, it's often what you DONT see that is more frightening than what you DO see. The film did more than good enough job with Christine's 'rebuild' capability, so a new movie just for CGI is likely to be like most remakes ..... kaka. poo poo. yuk.

So if a remake followed the book more, then I'd say there was something worthwhile in it.

As far as a sequel goes .... nope. There's a kind of fear in the book that it might 'live' on somehow but I think that's best left in our subconsious LOL.

But a PREQUEL - the story of LeBay, and whether the demonic-ness of the car found him or whether he created it (a la tulpa) - now that would be very interesting... very interesting indeed. Mr King?

if any film was begging to be made closer to the original novel,then christine is it.for me ,the film is so different that its only the basic plot that connects the film to the book.if it was remade properly,it would be a film that would scare the bejesus out of everyone that went to see it.
also,you can polish a turd.it takes a lot of time,patience and polish but all you will end up with is a polished turd!!

[Expert Rathad]

Hummmmmm, I haven't seen the movie yet I read the book...What can I say?????? It is great and kept me awake may nights just for not being able to stop turning the pages! LOL I love it.
