I have yet to come across *anyone* who says _Jackie Brown_ is their
favorite Tarantino film.  Me, I've generally tended to prefer _Reservoir
Dogs_, mostly because it's a tighter story, overall.

That one's been playing at a local theatre now for two or three weeks, so

said he had seen it there, too, so it may be in the States already.
