This is one of those movies you can watch over and over and never get tired of it. It seems to get better with age. It's my favorite QT film.

It's probably the one you can watch the most times... Except probably Pulp Fiction..

Severely underrated film, only a 7.5 on here? This movie was too perfect.

And the CAST.. Doesn't get enough love. Michael Keaton even killed his part

This sums it up. More gems from Tarantino for us.

Just realized Jackie Brown was made nearly 20 years ago.

I watch it repeatedly ~~ year after year ~~

Never get tired of it. It just gets better.

In fact when I saw Robert Forster ~ Max Cherry ~ in the final season of Breaking Bad where his character hides out Walter White in the wilderness, I was surprised at how old he looked. Did not realize he was nearly 20 years older...

One of Tarantino's true masterpieces.

Absolutely agree. Love it. Sadly underrated. But that's life.

It took me years to watch it, and I really like it. Pulp Fiction just wasn't for me.

I will always love Pam Grier, no matter what age.

This along with Fargo and Magnolia I make sure to watch every year or so.

Agreed. I don't even know how many times I've seen it.

I have seen it many times and always enjoy it.

Yes, this is one I can watch over and over. Other movies I can rewatch over and over are Death Proof and Kill Bill Vol. 1 which are both throwaway fun movies.

Jackie Brown is a heavy, character-driven film that, for me, usually doesn't lend itself to repeat viewings, but there is something about this movie. I can and do watch it multiple times per year.

I just realized that my college freshman nephew wasn't even BORN when this movie came out. To me it is a timeless classic.

I couldn't agree more. In fact, I'm watching it right now on on a HBO channel. It's by far and away Tarantino's most adult and tight film. It is Tarantino at his most restrained and economical. Every performance is near perfect.

Like any great novel, it improves with each rereading.

If I am EVER shifting channels and I see this playing, I stop. Guarenteed.

Keep The Change Bob.
