Assault on Precinct 13 (1976)

Carpenter's western is a stone-cold classic and that ice cream scene with a wee Kim "Tuff Turf" Richards still makes my blood run cold. Not shy of writing strong parts for women, secretary Leigh (Laurie Zimmer) is probably the toughest female character Carpenter/Hill ever created.

This is the film that Quentin Tarantino has been trying to make for the last 25 years.
