I feel compelled to point out that it also almost killed his career. Critics were mixed about it, and audiences were like, "what the fuck is this shit?" because it's so completely and utterly different from Pulp Fiction.
I liked it from the get-go. One of Samuel Jackson's best performances, and it had fucking Robert DeNiro in it, making the Tarantino/Scorsese really come into focus. And yeah, the soundtrack was incredible.
But he experienced a huge comeback with Kill Bill, which might be the only reason Jackie Brown is viewed as a success, despite not living up to critical expectations.
Man I love Kill Bill. Been forever since I last saw it but I preferred it to even Pulp Fiction for a time.
