In 7 words or less: Mars Attacks (wait, wrong movie)
Best bits? Not sure that one particular moment stands out but the movie plays out like a who-dunnit mystery albeit but without the Columbo style detective and this proves a great plot device.

Did it make you think thoughts? A lot of Mr Carpenter's work gets a bad rap but many of the criticisms are actually strengths in The Chief's eyes. The hokey dialogue, contrived stereotypical characters and classic 80's synth tones make the experience something akin to a more than entertaining B-movie.
Would you watch it again? It may not be a true Carpenter classic such as The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China or Escape from New York but definitely deserves some repeat views.
