Jackie Brown remains my favorite Tarantino movie and is one of the 10 best movies of the 90s - wildly underrated.
@jon47152 ай бұрын
Quentin’s best, indeed. Top 10 of the 90’s… La Belle Noiseuse Chunking Express Fallen Angels Eyes Wide Shut Close-up A Brighter Summer Day Satantango Beau Travail Heat Double Life of Veronique Flowers of Shanghai The Puppetmaster The Scent of Green Papaya I could continue just naming Kiarostami, Hou, Kieslowski, WKW, some Tsai even (though he peaks in the early 2000s), Kaurismaki, Almodovar, etc. I mean, I’m only barely scratching the surface off the top of my head. Maybe Jackie Brown ranks, but it’s hard to make it into the top 10. Top 10 American films, maybe. Up there with Unforgiven, Heat, To Sleep With Anger

I think it's one of this best really .. and it's one I watch now more than any of the others. Tarantino dropped off for me after this one .. Sure I watched all of his movies after but none really got me like Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and Jackie Brown .... A lot of what he did afterward felt gimmicky and I just wasn't involved with what he was doing.. at least until Once Upon a Time in Hollywood which was fantastic. People who say Jackie Brown was his weakest movie are complete idiots.

Leave it to QT to borrow the theme song of another movie, one that shared a title with the movie itself, and make it his own for Jackie Brown!

I was underwhelmed by Jackie Brown in the 90s when I first saw it but rewatching it recently I really loved it. Probably because im middle aged now myself! But it was a bold move to do something mature after pulp fiction, he could have done more of the same. And thats exactly what the film is, its still cool but its more grounded in reality. It doesn't have the hyper cool factor of Pulp or Dogs

I've never been what one would call a hardcore Tarantino fan, but dammit, I got to give credit where it's due, AND DAMN DO I LOVE ME SOME "JACKIE BROWN." From the minute I first saw it back in the 90's , it became and has remained my favorite Quentin Tarantino film. "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" and "Inglorious Basterds" can wrestle for the no.2 spot. I don't mind being in the minority when I say that Ordell Robbie is one of Samuel L. Jackson's greatest and most underrated performances that surpasses Jules Whinfield of "Pulp Fiction."

I always liked Jackie Brown, but didn't love it like his other films because it wasn't as boisterous. It didn't strut like his other films. It felt smaller than his other works to me. His other films all have an identifiable, off-kilter hook. At first glance, Jackie Brown does not. But it does indeed when you look below the surface. And it's exactly what PTA is talking about here. THAT is the hook: "What if I made a cool crime caper about two aging people at a crossroads?" More and more people in film communities online would post comments along the lines of "Jackie Brown is QT's best film, actually" and I always scoffed at this like it was typical film twitter preciousness. Because as some of you may know, film twitter LOOOOVES being precious and going against the grain to sound more enlightened. But after my most recent rewatch...I'll be damned if I didn't feel the same way. Inglorious Basterds will probably always remain my favorite QT film, but Jackie Brown is stunning. Probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite. It's so well rounded, so empathetic, so funny - it's a perfect little small scale crime caper with a lot on its mind. Everything about it feels perfectly calibrated from the plotting to the editing to the performances to the humor to the suspense...it's a perfect gem of a film. There is such a sense of interior life to these characters. They feel the most real, the most lived in - like this story is unfolding in real life just down the street from you.
