Albino Alligator is definitely a Kevin Spacey direction. He brought a lot of his characterizations to that movie. The not knowing what would happen next (as in The Usual Suspects) and the graphic violence (as in Se7en). This movie will be long remembered more for Spacey's direction than anything else, I think.
I saw The Machinist and it was an OK movie. As far as it being his bewt performance ever, I would say one of his best, definitely. I don't think he has hit his true mark yet in that area. He hasn't gotten a lot of good roles yet, but I think he will in time. It'll be that one sleeper movie than makes everyone sit up and notice him.
One of my favorite movies of all time is Jeremiah Johnson with Robert Redford. Troy is another good one that got passed over a lot.
