We picked this movie because it features both Zack's favorite wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper, and one of his top five all time favorite directors John Carpenter. They Live is John Carpenter's commentary regarding consumerism with what is portrayed as people's sheep-like following of government propaganda and corporate advertising designed to get people to consume more and think less. Do you need any other reason other than that it's a Rowdy Roddy Piper movie? This movie was not considered to be a grand success at the box office, but there is a considerable cult following among John Carpenter fans, movie enthusiasts, and even Roddy Piper fans.
