excellent. you should check out zizek's take on they live. in the mouth of madness is also another fantastic john carpenter film. i haven't seen tesuo, dark city, hardware or primer, will check them out soon.
if you haven't seen it already la jetee is a short black and white film that 12 monkeys was based on.
