It's definitely his best film and my personal favourite.

You aren't crazy in the least. This is easily my favorite right after Pulp Fiction. Very gripping story, characters I really care about, wonderful soundtrack, superb camerawork, and as usual, top-class cinematography. It's a shame this is seen as one of his lesser work when it's actually some of his best.

It's certainly mine. Even though Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction were focused on male power struggles, the tenderness between Jackie and Max Cherry is something Tarantino has carried over into most of his films since. The Bride and her daughter B.B. in Kill Bill, Soshanna and Marcel in Basterds, and, of course, Django and Hildi. I omit Butch and Fabienne in Pulp as examples because Butch is clearly more driven to show up Marsellus and recoup "the watch" than he is by any passion for Fabienne, who comes off as more of a hindrance in the classic action sequence. So, since Jackie Brown, having a sincere love and loyalty between characters has been one of Tarantino's signatures. What's most interesting about this style beginning with Jackie Brown is that in the book that it's based upon, Rum Punch, Max and Jackie's relationship comes off as much sleazier. It's an interesting turn Tarantino took with his style, that all seems to come from his own point of view.

Totally not crazy for thinking this is his best film. I have watched it numerous times and it has just recently hit me that this is my favorite QT film.
The story is tight and I love Sam Jackson in this. His dialogue is hilarious ."This beep is repugnant" lol.
Probably say Pulp comes next but this is definitely first. -

I think Jackie Brown is a great movie, but to me Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs are his best.
Those 3 I think are his masterpieces. I admire the fact he has changes his style over the years, but I think the movies after Jackie lacked that little spark. -

Well, with Tarantino, all of his movies are excellent. He's so good, that to pick just one would almost be impossible, so your choice is understandable.
