Question: What is this MOVIE!?!?!? 10 Pts for first RIGHT answer!.!?
I am looking for the title of a movie that I saw on tv!. I didn't catch the name of it!.!.
The film was in black and white!. Didn't seem old enough so that it seemed like that black and white was just an effect for the movie!. The main characted was a white guy who had a pair of sunglasses that, when he wore them, they would show things for what they truly were!. For example, when he had them on, billboards that advertised products actually said "submit and obey" and people were shown as skeleton-like people when he had the sunglasses on!. THANKS to ANYONE who can answer this!Www@Enter-QA@Com

They Live (1988)
aka John Carpenter's They Live
IMDB synopsis:
John Nada is a man without a job who walks around a big American city trying to find something to do!. He finally finds a job as a worker and a place to spend the nights, but one day something terrible happens to him!. John discovers a pair of sunglasses through which he can see the true face of people, many of whom are actually aliens, as well as being important members of society!. They keep humans in ignorance and rule our world as they like!. Nada must find others who know what is happening and join them in the fight against the aliens!.
The cast includes Roddy Piper, Keith David, Meg Foster, George "Buck" Flower, Peter Jason, Raymond St!. Jacques, Sy Richardson, and Norman Alden!.
Recently, this was back on one of the movie channels, and I ended up watching it four times! I'd forgotten some bits here and there, but it certainly has its share of cool lines, which I jotted down in my film journal:
"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick a**!.~And, I'm all out of bubblegum!."
"Mama don't like tattletales!." (before zapping alien calling for help)
I have to laugh every time I hear "formaldehyde face" because the aliens are verrrrrrrry ugly! The other poster is right: It's only when they look through the sunglasses that the film is in b&w; otherwise, it's color!.
I recall that this film didn't do well at the theaters, but it's picked up one of those cult followings you're always hearing about!. Team it up with "Big Trouble in Little China" and "Escape from New York" or even "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension"~though the other two are far more two-fisted!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
