The Thing (1982). Another classic I have never seen. I again have no idea how. I guess because of my aversion to horror. Well, outside of a 35 mm print this was about the best way to see it for the first time I guess. 4K digital projection on the biggest screen in town at a full screening in a movie theatre.
This film is so well referenced in so much pop culture from movie and TV show homages to memes that I knew pretty much everything about it before. Did not ruin it one bit, what a fantastic movie. Had a great time with it. And yes, jumped a few times. Horror still manages to get to me most of the time.
