What's John Carpenter's best work?

I would have to say that John Carpenter is my favorite director of ALL TIME...I love almost all of his movies (some more than others), but his earlier films are my absolute favorite. What is your favorite John Carpenter films and what do you consider his best work to date?
I've listed 10 of what I consider his best films in the poll...vote for your favorite and if you don't see your favorite on the poll, list your favorite in a commentary and tell us why it's your favorite or why it's John's best work and why...

I didn't list some of John Carpenter's classics like "Big Trouble in Little China", "Dark Star", and "Assault on Precinct 13" due to space, but if you would like to vote for one of those, post a commentary telling us so and why it's your choice...

Halloween, The Fog, The Thing and Assault on Precinct 13 are my favourites from the director. Everything else I wasn't keen on.

Oh yeah, They Live had one of my favorite lines in movies. "I came here for two things, to chew bubble and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubble gum!" 😂

The Thing.
