It holds up pretty well for a story from a century ago, but I definitely prefer Carpenter's adaptation (and prefer both the the very loose adaptation Hawks did (in spite of being a huge Hawks fan in general).

I (ashamedly) only just recently read the short story The Thing is based on, Who Goes There? Made me appreciate Carpenter's work even more.

Some movies I've watched. Which new ones would you recommend me? 🍿

The Thing, is, imho, the best movie of all time. But if you haven't seen the other two films in Carpenter's "Apocalypse Trilogy," (which is a thematic trilogy, not one connected by plot or characters), I highly recommend them: Prince of Darkness and In the Mouth of Madness are also both fantastic.
