Escape from New York

That opening theme song is still so great — I did want to hear it more during the entirety of the film, but then again, there’s something satisfying about the fact that it only plays again at the very end. This is still a very enjoyable film, although I’m a pretty big John Carpenter fan, so I’m definitely biased. It’s just such a neat idea and setting for a film, simple and effective, and it all just works. Great cast too. Makes me look forward to when it’s time for my 1996 movie marathon so I can watch Escape from LA (which I don’t remember fondly, but I’m still curious to watch again).
