82. Quentin Tarantino: Jackie Brown (1998)
I pretty much like everything Tarantino has done. This being his best imo. The fluid story takes you through multiple characters with crystal-like precision . I find it a bit strange that what I consider to be his best is not based off of an original screenplay when almost everything else he’s done is. He brought back Pam Grier but just as important he brought back Robert Forster. Almost all of cinema’s love stories seem to revolve around young people or love through a timeline as you see them young and then old together. What Jackie Brown establishes is that love at any age is beautiful and timeless. You need people you can trust and depend upon. All the cast his excellent and it would just take way too long to go over everybody’s characrters
81. The Ninth Configuration [William Peter Blatty] 1980
Off beat would be conservative when describing this film. It’s defiantly not for everybody and it has no specific genre to put itself in. It deals with faith in the human spirit and has mystical qualities. There are also moments of sheer terror and one of the most explosive scenes of violence in the history of cinema. To give anything away would not be right. I wish Stacey Keach has really caught on and done more stuff.
