I love the film too. It could have been longer and more fleshed out. My favourite scene is when Arnie comes across Christine for the first time: the music is eerie and the whole scene is totally atmospheric and gripping. The actor playing George LeBay really looks the part (but why did Carpenter replace Roland Lebay?), and I also love the scene when Arnie first tells Regina and Michael that he has bought a car. "It most certainly is not it!!' That scene just cracks me up everytime. Like I said, I would have liked it to be longer and more fleshed out. In the book, the car was haunted by the spirit of Roland D Lebay, rather than being evil off the assembly line. Wonder what his Hudson Hornet was like (the previous car he owned)..but overall still a good film. The actor that plays Arnie is spot on, could not be more perfect in the role. Go, Keith Gordon!! An old film now, but still a goodie.
I still think that Halloween is Carpenter's very best work, but Christine certainly stands the test of time.
