Good Movies Rule #3: They Live
Added 2023-08-01 11:01:00 +0000 UTCIn the cinematic masterpiece that redefines the term "strolling adventure," They Live (1988) takes us on a meandering journey alongside our two heroes, Rowdy Roddy Piper and Keith David. Get ready for a movie that seems to have more walking than a Fitbit convention.
Our main character, Nada (played by the renowned wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper), stumbles upon a pair of sunglasses that grant him the ability to see the shocking truth behind the facade of society. And what is this stunning revelation, you ask? Aliens are among us, disguised as humans! But fear not, because Nada and his walking buddy Frank (Keith David) are here to take on this extraterrestrial menace after they beat each other up, lest we forget the epic fight scene that seems to last longer than a filibuster.
So grab your walking shoes (and sunglasses, just in case), and join us on this hilariously slow-paced journey of fighting aliens and taking names... eventually.
Thank you all for your support - it is what makes everything here at BMR possible. Please don't forget to spread the word about the show!
