1997 year in film
These are the best films of 1997, THERE ARE NONE GREATER....these lists are excerpts from an ongoing book/project on film I've been editing since 1999 titled "The Refined and Uncompromising Picture Show". Not all of these films are for everyone, but I promise if you true cinephiles sit through most of them maybe you'll take something away. These are the motion pictures that tower above all other films for the years they came out in the U.S. If any of your favorite films are missing let me know and i'll either thank you for reminding me or i'll let you know why i didn't feel i needed to mention it. I would love to hear anyone's thoughts on these lists or read your own personal film lists! You can read more about these films extensively if you copy and paste the titles @ http://www.imdb.com

Jackie Brown (1997, R)
Not to say the film is void of playful mischief, but I think this is Tarantino's most mature work to date and the best adaptation of an Elmore Leonard story. |
