You DO NOT get better than Robert Forster vs. a ginormous alligator on the streets of Chicago. Cannot, will not, do not. Well, maybe Jaws, but it this has an alligator, one that eats the guy who played Cheswick in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for dinner. And of course, ESPECIALLY because Robert frickin' Forster is gonna make sure that scaly motherfucker doesn't cause the end of life as we know it.

That was kinda tough.
I went with The Shining, because that movie is just so fucked up and awesomely weird.
Close second is Raging Bull, which IMO has De Niro's best performance.
Third is Empire.

I've always thought that Alligator is second only to Jaws in the Hungry Animal Genre. The movie has action, suspense, humor, badass dialogue, AND the gator got some kharmic revenge by ruining the shit of the greedy bastards who created him. This was the movie that made me a huge fan of Forster. I followed his career even during the really lean years before Jackie Brown. He's one of my favorite actors.
