*“Don’t fight it, son. Confess quickly. If you hold out too long you could jeopardize your credit rating.” * This has Top 4 potential for me. “Ahead of its time” is thrown around pretty easily, but if this was released today, you could complain that it is too on the nose.  Not just De Niro’s character, but De Niro himself adds so much to this movie in spite of his limited screen time. I don’t know if it would have received the same reaction when it was released, but seeing him in this role balances the weirdness so well.  The only thing that may keep Fear and Loathing above this is that I love Fear and Loating despite its weaknesses. That’s a stronger love than for something that is perfect. This is perfect start to finish. Has my vote for one of the best death scenes ever.
