Why do so many people think of Jackie Brown as Tarantino's best movie?

Sucking Kermode's dick
Because no one does, and we're contrarians.

Elmore Leonard's already incredible writing, and the narrative changed to a Blaxploitation over the hill gangster movie, and with Tarantino's spot on directing and camera use in place.
The movie is nearly perfect, and the changes QT did from the book were great. He took a book that could have been a 10 hour movie, into nearly 3 and still getting the point of the story across was remarkable. It's an easy to follow story, with a lot of twists and turns and an array of hateable but lovable characters.
It's one of the best book to movie adaptations.

Personally I thought it was shit.
Love Elmore Leonard tbqh.

Not to mention Bridget Fonda.

Because is great and non-memed to death by plebs compared to the rest of his stuff.
Plus Elmore Leonard was great.
It has characters that act like human beings rather than walking memes that dispense tarantino dialogue.

This desu senpai
>>63713238
bc its less well known an people feel like special snowflakes by telling its their favorite
pulp fiction is the best, by far
>>63713238
Because it may very well be just that.
Not only because of this >>63713515, it feels more mature on many levels, it's more serious in a way.

>Not to mention Bridget Fonda getting shot to death.
>>63713511
i'm actually glad he shot her
>>63713238
Because of the actual human feeling behind it. It's the only one of his films with a believable love story (Mia/Vincent doesn't count) and that doesn't just coast on homage and video store tropes. It'll be something that you could watch 20 years from now and have it still be relatable. It's TCM core.

Okay, yeah, her character was annoying as hell, but she was great eye candy.

It's a classic American picaresque gangster movie.
DeNiro plays a bankrobber basically in the Peter Sellers mould, and all of the comedy comes from our knowledge of America, the characters and their subjective view of things around them.
