They Live
The biggest threat facing individuals in the 1980s was retina damage from too much exposure to neon.
Luckily, the drifter in this sci-fi film has found a pair of black sunglasses to protect his peepers.
A vagabond named Nada (Roddy Piper) comes across shades that, when worn, allow the wearer to see the subliminal messages hidden in advertising subconsciously telling citizens to consume, and to obey. Worse, the sunglasses also reveal there are aliens who've been living among us in disguise. Now, Nada and his friend (Keith David) must stop the invasion before earth's resources are exhausted.
Known for its lengthy back alley brawl, as well as inspiring Shepard Fairey's Obey street artwork, John Carpenter's cult classic adaptation of the 1963 short-story still challenges viewers to question what they see, even if Piper's acting remains comical.
Thankfully nowadays, shifty advertisers and their merchandise are kept in check by Instagram influencers. Yellow Light
