A talky slow-burn with peaks of Tarantino's signature flourishes, Jackie Brown is the filmmaker's most understated and grounded work, centered on a banger of a performance from cinema icon Pam Grier.Ĭast: Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz, Mélanie Laurent, Diane Kruger, Michael Fassbender, Daniel Brül, Eli Roth, B.J. Sure his films have flourishes of romance - he has characters named "Pumpkin" and "Honey Bunny" for goodness sake, and Shoshanna and Marcel are lovely - but the lowkey love story between Jackie Brown and Max Cherry ( Robert Forster) is a beating heart for the film here, deepening Tarantino's crime drama. Sure, it's still got the snappy dialogue and crime thrills, but Jackie Brown leans into meaty character development and, a rarity in Tarantino's filmography, romance. Based on Elmore Leonard's 'Rum Punch', Jackie Brown stars the endlessly cool Pam Grier at the center of one of Tarantino's most mature films. Tarantino's only adaptation is also one of his best. Jackson, Robert Forster, Robert De Niro, Bridget Fonda, Michael Keaton, Chris Tucker, Sid Haig
Simple but brimming with Tarantino's signature panache, Reservoir Dogs still holds up, not just for its seminal role in the growth and trajectory of indie cinema, but as a taut, gripping thriller in the hands of a brilliant filmmaker.Ĭast: Pam Grier, Samuel L. Naturally, that means Reservoir Dogs isn't as polished as his subsequent studio works, but it's still one hell of a crime drama about a band of thieves who get in over their head and the disastrous consequences that follow.
The killer soundtrack, ace ensemble, snappy dialogue, extreme spasms of violence Reservoir Dogs introduced the world to all the Tarantino trademarks in their rawest form, the uncut stuff.
Tarantino's first feature crashed onto the film scene at the 1992 Sundance Film Festival, where it was quickly scooped up by Miramax and the journey to becoming a definitive indie classic kicked off. Cast: Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Steve Buscemi, Chris Penn, Lawrence Tierney, Quentin Tarantino
