HIT US UP:

I still get chills when Christine's headlights come on. This scene was epic before epic was fashionable.

[VSaber]

DAMN, for a 1980's movie, those simple yet impressive specials effects are *LEGIT.*

[anaccount]

Keith Gordon's performance in this film is hugely underrated. How he goes from this sad nerd to an edgy scary guy is awsome and completely believable.

[aaronmoran]

She doesn’t repair herself for over twenty years. She only does it when she knows Arnie loves her. For just a car her character is pretty deep. Carpenters most underrated film.

[lakynpayne]

I can't be the only one who absolutely loves the sultry music that plays as she starts to inflate her tires and lift herself up

[pedrourbano]

This is really a 1983 movie, these effects are spetacular

[Imagination_Station]

Still one of my favorite horror films to this day. When it comes to setting an atmosphere, practical effects and creating the perfect score, John Carpenter is unbeatable.

[JohnDoe-gkok]

So this is the first time Arnie saw Christine regenerate herself? What this means is that Arnie, with only used parts from Darnell’s junkyard, actually managed to restore Christine to her original condition. That’s amazing.

[Doctor_Kissworthy]

I've seen plenty of movies in my 57 years.
This scene will always resonate with me as one of the greatest single movie scenes created by man.

[theduke]

When doing this scene, they told him to act as if it was girlfriend giving him a strip tease. Meanwhile I'm here like, a car that fixes itself and automatically only plays the top hits of the 50s, got me right there, who needs to think of anything else

[jongon]

Love how this entire scene is basically a nude scene. Christine flashes Arnie with her headlights & reveals her true self to him. Some seriously ingenious filmmaking right here!

[martinbayliss]

As iconic as it gets and CGI could never match it. A masterpiece!

[TheToasterPope]

1:25 this sound effect deserves an award

[muscleCarSurgeon]

For anyone wondering the song that plays when Christine repairs herself is called Harlem Nocturne

[CognizantCheddar]

When Arnie stands before her and says, "Okay, show me", the music plays and it's like Christine is doing a striptease for her man.

[steelwitness]

this scene is simply one of the greatest of all time hands down. Timeless masterpiece.

[thequietestengine]

The first 40 seconds of this clip I always find beautiful. Christine at this point is borderline a write-off, she's going to cost 4 times as much to restore, but Arnie doesn't care. He knows it will be tough, expensive, but to him, she's worth it. He isn't utterly blind to the expenses and work yet he quietly comforts her. I've said that line to a few of my closest friends in the past, most often my best friend, and it just resonates at the times I feel I need to have it said. Genuinely a lot of touching moments in this movie, and a lot of subtleties too.

[bluemarais]

I gotta say. That "show me" moment is so badass with the guitar

[GreatnationHD]

I love this film… such a perfect thriller!

[mudduck]

This isn't a horror film. It's a love story. I guess you have to be truly in love with your car to understand it. When Arnie says okay show me and Christine shows him it always brings it to my eye.
