Tarantino's selection process for the songs
Tarantino has said that in developing the script for Jackie Brown, he decided on the majority of the songs during the writing stage.[2] He added:
More or less the way my method works is you have got to find the opening credit sequence first. That starts it off from me. I find the personality of the piece through the music that is going to be in it [...] It is the rhythm of the film. Once I know I want to do something, then it is a simple matter of me diving into my record collection and finding the songs that give me the rhythm of my movie.
