  Jackie Brown & Foxy Brown

  Pam Grier is literally the sexiest, most badass woman to ever grace a Seventies screen, small or silver. Many a human born anywhere between 1965 and 1989 will cite Grier’s Foxy Brown as their sexual awakening. She continued her reign of femme ferocity and kickassery into the Nineties, when a nerdy Blaxploitation fan named Quentin decided to cast the genre veteran as his titular Jackie Brown – a not-so-subtle nod to her iconic 1974 role as an undercover pro hellbent on vengeance for the death of her lover. Paramount Theatre blesses movie aficionados and lovers of film royalty with a double showing of Tarantino’s 1997 Jackie Brown and her predecessor Foxy. – Cy White
