Hard to choose because I like them both. But I will go with Carpenter because I think his early films were very creative and original, especially Escape from NY. Very impressive what he was able to accomplish on a small budget, plus he composed the music for many of his films. And I love Big Trouble in Little China. But McTiernan was also on a roll in the late '80s too.


A shame though that both of them haven't done much in recent years.

Hard choice. Carpenter holds more nostalgic value.
