    I’m with OP. Why Jackie Brown?

    I haven’t seen it since it came out, so I don’t remember much of it, but I do remember that I was not impressed at all. Probably has some highlights, but I couldnt even tell you what the plot was. That’s how insignificant the experience was for me.

    Because it was a while ago, there’s a good chance I missed or forgot something, so I honestly would like to hear what makes it #1 on your list, because I’d probably rank it right next to Hollywood with a score of “Meh.”

      That’s fair, it’s not going to be for everyone, and it’s just a personal preference, of course.

      I’ve just posted some thoughts on ‘why’ in response to OP, hopefully they make sense :-)
