Obviously Jackie Brown makes top five. The hard question is does Death Proof count on its own or as part of Grindhouse?

u/rubbernub 5d ago

It counts on it's own

That's the car crashing and kicking Kurt Russell's ass movie? Terrible but I enjoyed it.

u/Veritas3333 5d ago

Does True Romance count?

u/Jason_Horton 5d ago

absolutely

u/morphballganon 5d ago

Ehhh shouldn't it just be director credits?

The question is whether Four Rooms counts

u/Quasic 5d ago

That segment of Sin City!

u/DeedleStone 4d ago

That episode of CSI?

u/Quasic 2d ago

That episode of CSI was a shared fever dream and I haven't seen evidence otherwise.

The Jackie Brown line is like bourbon in a $5 milkshake.

I feel attacked.

Wait. I’m not at a haunted house. I’m at a suburban party! Get me out of here! But no the next room is just Family Holiday Party. Oh shit here comes my grandma asking me when I’m going to conceive..

u/ImpossibleInternet3 5d ago

That’s quite the feat

Why did it take me until the fourth frame to realise he isn't wearing a straight jacket

u/Veragoot 5d ago

If Django is my favorite does that make me basic as fuck

  5. Jackie Brown.

u/Ok_Car2080 2d ago

I’d stop after Jackie Brown

u/pmmemilftiddiez 5d ago

I think this is pretty good. I would cut the Jackie Brown and just say: Top five Tarantino films? Go!

u/naveedkoval 5d ago

Nahh the Jackie brown bit is specificity that makes it hit

16

u/Jason_Horton 5d ago

Appreciate the feedback. I thought maybe there was some discourse lately on Jackie Brown so I through it in there to make it a bit more obnoxious but maybe I will take it out.

u/whaaatanasshole 5d ago

The last line hits for me, but I guess you can try both and see what works.

(I don't have strong opinions on Jackie Brown, saw it once, but it was a funny reference for me)

u/syntheticcontrols 5d ago

If you can make someone laugh by just posting a picture with your joke and punchline, that's a good damn joke (it worked for me).

We shouldn't sit here and dissect your joke, but keeping Jackie Brown in it works for me on a couple different levels. Definitely keep the Jackie Brown part in.

u/Jason_Horton 5d ago

thank you!

u/PersimmonDazzling654 5d ago

I think it's something that works verbally, but not written. Was confused why this character wouldn't be shitting on Jackie brown, which is the more insufferable take; I can see (or hear, rather) it working in a room though

5

u/buzha-xoda 5d ago

ngl my stoned ass actually thought about it and Jackie brown would be in my top five though so it made me laugh harder

2

u/Waste_Track_4524 3d ago

I would keep the Jackie brown bit in. He’s got enough bangers and people have slept on that one.

2

u/RondaArousedMe 5d ago

Switch it to "From Dusk Till Dawn" and really fuck with them

3

u/Remy1985 5d ago

Naw, the Jackie Brown part makes it sound like a real film snob trying to be different. Keep it!

u/m07815 4d ago

Hard disagree, the Jacky Brown line elevates the joke

0

u/shadhead1981 5d ago

Yeah I mean we all know it’s his best film, easy to leave out of the joke

3

u/someoneelseperhaps 5d ago

I like it, and you can even swap out the Jackie Brown bit for something godawfully film bro-ish should rhe right audience be in attendance.

u/mrdibby 5d ago

saving your best bits for when you finally get that gig as an MC at a film festival

u/NewNexusAccount 5d ago

What’s about norms bit regarding jokes like these? Make a funny socially conscious joke and he will give you a million dollars

u/Useful-Nebula1102 3d ago

I've had a few drinks and I can't understand the joke. Can someone explain it to me?

u/Balbright 5d ago

I don’t think anybody has Jackie Brown in their top 5

u/PersimmonDazzling654 5d ago

I dogpile-downvoted you at first, but I reversed it. Let's talk, where do you stick Jackie Brown in his filmography
