The Thing is more profound whereas They Live blatantly states its theme. Not to say that it's a bad movie but The Thing is probably Carpenter's best film by far, however They Live is Carpenter's underrated film. At least it's underrated in the sense of being profound. The Thing showed how Carpenter matured into a fantastic director and They Lived made him a revolutionary. Both are good films but my heart will always belong to The Thing.
