I have a hard time determining my favorite films by Tarantino. I can't really compare the pre-Bill to the post-Bill very easily. But Jackie Brown is in my top 3, no question. Haven't seen it in a while, but it's not in the middle or bottom chunks, certainly.
I wonder what his last two films will be. Or if they even will be his last two. It would be nice to see him do horror (you know he wants to), but it would also be nice to see him make another character driven piece.
