Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I've seen it almost as many as PF. The performances are fantastic. Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda,

Michael Keaton, DeNiro---- and of course, Sam Jackson.
Spectacular dialogue, as usual, a nicely involved plot from Elmore Leonard's, "Rum Punch," and the trademark Tarantino editing: what more could you want? And the soundtrack, also, is legendary.
A crime film w/a vicious criminal, a weak-willed but kind-hearted heroine, her leather tough but similarly soft-hearted and shy love interest, a conniving and amoral federal agent: this film has it all.
Pam Grier should have gotten an Oscar for this. She breathed life into Jackie, making her a multi-dimensional, complex, and enduring character.
This is Tarantino's one film where I think you sense a lot of human warmth. You see flashes of it in Pulp between Vincent and Mia, and Butch and his doe-eyed squeeze, but here it's much more of the story. DeNiro's "relationship" with Fonda's character, also, is bittersweet.
I think JB is a great, not just very good, film.
