Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) is one of my childhood favorites. A crazy film about all of the L.A. street gangs forming a pact so they can terrorize the streets together. When one of their own is killed and the person responsible enters a skeleton crew manned Police precinct the gauntlet is tossed and they decide to wage war upon the building.
I love this picture. This is John Carpenter at his best. He managed to follow up his brilliant picture "Dark Star" with an urban western. The character Napoleon Wilson was an early proto-type for future anti-hero Snake Plisken. Highly recommended.
