I'd throw ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 and THEY LIVE in with his group of good films.
MEMOIRS OF AN INVISIBLE MAN would have been a much better movie had it not be woefully miscast with Chevy Chase during the beginning of his decline.
PRINCE OF DARKNESS was a failure, but a fully engrossing failure that was wonderfully cast with familiar faces. I LOVED the premise, but I thought the execution left a little to be desired. It was almost as if Carpenter either ran out of money, or interest, or both towards the end of the production.
I have a hope, although it doesn't look promising, that he returns to good, solid storytelling and quits with the practice of pimping out his name.
