Put on 'They Live' tonight—it's a gloriously weird sci-fi action flick that still holds up as both a legitimately fun B-movie and a sharp satirical punch at consumer culture. John Carpenter made something genuinely clever here, and that infamous six-minute fight scene alone is worth the price of admission.

Plot

A lone drifter stumbles upon a unique pair of sunglasses that reveal aliens are systematically gaining control of the Earth by masquerading as humans and lulling the public into submission.
