I just wonder the next group Tarantino will make a revenge fantasy film for. He's done them for women, jews, and blacks.

This is easily my favorite of Tarantino's films (and I've thoroughly enjoyed every one [save Jackie Brown and Death Proof, neither of which I've seen]). I laughed riotously throughout. One of my top ten favorite films this year. |

You should see Jackie Brown, it's quite good. |

I've never seen a Tarantino movie that I didn't end up having a "What the hell was this stupid movie about?" feeling afterward. Nevertheless, years later, the best scenes of the movie still stand out in my mind and can be rewatched and requoted in perpetuity and they don't get old. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Tarantino may be the best individual scene director I've ever had the priviledge of watching. He's terrible at tying those scenes together into a compelling whole. |

I always felt the same way; I just assumed that was the "point". |

I suddenly feel the need to see this now. I have a friend who's seen it three times already. |

Yeah, I'm right there with ya. Don't see much in the theater anymore, but may have to make it out for this one. |

Watched Django last night and I was very entertained. Great characters. I was pretty depressed after the "I couldn't resist" line!! |

This may be the best Tarantino movie, ever. For once it actually felt like a movie, rather than a loosely-connected jumble of scenes. Waltz deserved his Golden Globe award. |

Indeed. I love Tarantino's films, but this is the first one that felt like it had a singular vision and goal in mind. A large part of that is the (rather un-Tarantino-esque) focus on a single story and only two characters. The editing was sloppy, but overall the film came out better than any before it, IMO...but my God, Sally Menke, you are missed. I believe with her aid, it may have been his unimpeachable masterpiece. |

I have to say, I watched Jackie Brown a few weeks ago, and I wasn't bowled over by it. Part of it may have been expectation (you guys weren't the only ones who recommended it very highly). It wasn't bad at all, but it didn't feel like it had that peculiar, electric je ne sais quoi of a Tarantino film. It rambled and meandered, and while Pam Grier and Robert Forster were magnetic, it felt rather dull anytime they weren't onscreen. Maybe it was the fact that it was an adaptation rather than something sprouting from Tarantino's mind and he wasn't sure how to handle it...I dunno. Again, I didn't find it bad at all, but I enjoyed it less than his other films. Full disclosure, I rank them thusly: Django Unchained Inglorious Basterds Kill Bill (1 & 2) Pulp Fiction Jackie Brown Reservoir Dogs (JB and RD kinda flip-flop placement.) The only one I've not seen is Death Proof. |

I would have been over the moon had Basterds not included, well, the Basterds. They were easily the weakest part of the film. I could have watched Shosanna and Hans Landa for hours, and thoroughly enjoyed the Fassbender/Kruger parts. The Basterds seemed like superfluous characters in their own film. |

As with most of Tarantino's work, they're all genre films. Jackie Brown is no exception, even if it is an adaptation. It's based on the 70's detective dramas, which were often quite slow. Apparently, Elmore Leonard considers it the best adaptation of his works to film that has ever been done. That doesn't make it great. But it's a solid film. |
