GOD DAMN IT
on 7/23/2009
tough one for sure i go with pulp fiction because every time i watch it i see new things and tiny details that imissed before
on 7/29/2009
Two great 90s films, Reservoir Dogs set the ground work for Pulp Fiction which exceeded it's predecessor.
on 7/31/2009
This is a toughie - Res Dogs is more of a tragedy and Pulp Fiction is more of a comedy (in the classic sense). Because QT plays with time so well in the Pulp Fiction narrative, that's the winner for me.
on 8/1/2009
This has always been a heated debate among me and my friends, but also as a personal conflict in myself. I find that I lean towards Reservoir Dogs because of its lean and simplistic storytelling. While the greatness of PF comes much from the intricate web of characters and events, Reservoir Dogs represents the meat and potatoes interaction of characters in tough situations. In my mind, RD is a streamlined version of PF, and is my personal choice.
on 8/11/2009
He's never topped Pulp Fiction in my opinion.
on 8/13/2009
RESERVOIR DOGS may have made people stand up and take notice of Mr. Tarantino, and rightfully so, given its signature dialogue and originality, but PULP FICTION transformed modern cinema. You can't argue with that. It remains to this day, Quentin's masterpiece.
on 8/24/2009
The classic QT debate...I tend to go with which I've seen last, but no one can argue with the impact Pulp Fiction has had on the way this generation views and reacts to movies.
on 8/26/2009
its the one that says bad ass motherfucker, motherfucker
on 8/27/2009
It'd be easy for you...you'd pick Four Rooms.
on 8/29/2009
lol of course i would
on 11/1/2009
Oh shit, what a hard choice. But ...gonna have to go with Pulp Fiction. It's Tarantino's masterpiece imo.
While I love Reservoir Dogs, it is my least favorite of the films Tarantino has directed. Pulp Fiction of coarse, being the best !
on 11/2/2009
If you'd asked me this a year ago, I'd have said Reservoir Dogs, but for some reason, post Inglourious Basterds I'm pikcing Pulp Fiction.
on 11/19/2009
Wow, that's so hard.
on 11/22/2009
Pulp Fiction was better overall, in my humble opinion.
on 12/2/2009
Tarantino has yet to make a bad movie, so any of his comparisons are a lot of fun. I think Pulp Fiction is probably his best, but they are all high on my list.
on 12/19/2009
Both are limited by Tarnatino's acting but Pulp Fiction, while more ambitious also veers drunkenly all over the place. This is not in istelf a bad thing but I prefer the more concentrated story of Reservoir Dogs.
on 12/28/2009
both are really good crime films reservoir dogs is more fast paced but Pulp fiction has a better story, characters and more memorable scenes so i have to go with Pulp fiction. Though both of them are high on my list
on 2/17/2010
Pulp Fiction's narrative does swerve around a little and Reservoir Dogs narrative is rather focused by comparison; however, Pulp Fiction is more memorable than Reservoir Dogs. I can even name scenes in Pulp Fiction that I like more than most of Reservoir Dogs.
on 2/27/2010
For me, Reservoir Dogs was a well-made but largely forgettable crime drama with one starkly memorable scene (Stuck In The Middle With You, obviously). If you want to talk about drunkenly wandering all over the place (as one person said about the story in Pulp), I'd argue that Reservoir Dogs does it with dialogue throughout, which is saying something since dialogue might be Tarantino's greatest strength. I remember being quite bored through a great stretch of Reservoir Dogs; I couldn't say that about any other QT film, except maybe the director's cut of Death Proof. Pulp Fiction by a landslide.
on 3/5/2010
Pulp Fiction,since I actually liked it.
on 3/7/2010
Reservoir Dogs for me. I feel it's very underrated, and you just can't beat the absolute rawness and brutality here.
on 3/9/2010
this is easy for me since i think Resevoir Dogs is terrible
on 3/10/2010
pulp fiction i guess, only because it had so many different and interesting characters
on 5/2/2010
Which one ca I watch over and over and over again? Pulp Fiction.
on 5/11/2010
RD is great, but PF redefined filmmaking. One of masterpieces in cinema.
Chalk another win for the fantastic Pulp FIction.
on 7/29/2010
Both are truly excellent, but Pulp Fiction is quite possibly my favorite movie of all time.
Pulp Fiction FTW
on 8/23/2010
Reservoir Dogs changed the way i looked at films and made me want to see more films. But Pulp Fiction is not just Tarantino's masterpiece is arguably the masterpiece of the 90's, when you think about 1990's cinema and the independants, what was the turning point...
on 4/27/2011
Even though I prefer Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction is the better film for at the very least its innovation and writing.
Pulp Fiction....heads and shoulders above the overrated Reservoir Dogs...
on 6/6/2011
Both Awesome, I Like Reservoir Dogs more though. On My List It's Reservoir Dogs #2, Pulp Fiction #17
on 7/15/2011
OOOOHHHHHHHHHH! i feel like i've been punched in the gut.
on 7/31/2011
I get why Pulp Fiction inspired so many directors, but I don't see why it revolutionized modern cinema. I really don't. My pick is Reservoir Dogs.
on 8/1/2011
Brilliant script, stylish wardrobe, the amazing cast and cool directing - Pulp Fiction
on 8/12/2011
Reservoir Dogs was so very close to becoming the best crime drama of all time, but it wasn't, Pulp Fiction shows it for the prototype it really is. And that's not saying RD isn't a good movie, it's great, but it could have been much better, PF is where QT really shows off the best of his narrative and directing talents.
For the longest time i probably would have said Reservoir dogs, but Pulp fiction just gets better with every watch. Easily one of the most quoteable movies of all time. "Look at the big brains on Brad."
I love RD, but it's gotta be Pulp Fiction here.
on 9/8/2011
Tarantino's first vs. Tarantino's best...Pulp by a doll hair
on 9/14/2011
It is not fair! You must say what is in he case!
on 10/5/2011
Reservoir Dogs has been my favorite QT movie for a long time, however thinking about it right now I am thinking Pulp Fiction is better. Guess I need to rewatch both and decide.
on 11/2/2011
How in the fuck am I supposed to decide this one?
on 12/7/2011
This shit just got real.
on 12/21/2011
Reservoir Dogs was the practice run for Pulp Fiction. Pulp Fiction truly showed the world that rules are meant to be broken and it has influenced my film life to no end.
on 1/8/2012
Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are both two of my favorite movies. Reservoir Dogs is excellent, with top-notch acting (particularly from Madsen, Keitel, Buscemi, and Roth), an awesome screenplay, tight story and directing, and cool music. Pulp Fiction, however, is quite possibly my favorite movie of all time, with a complex, cleverly intertwining story, unforgettable characters, sheer unpredictability, tons of replay value, and stellar acting from everyone involved. Plus, one of the greatest soundtracks ever assembled. Pulp Fiction by a bit.
on 1/22/2012
Dogs for me.Tarantino is yet to top his original masterpiece.
on 1/26/2012
pulp fiction all he way even tho dogs was the first it wasnt the best fiction has better story and thiers something to the charecters he improved dogs with pulp fiction fiction for me
I'd take Reservoir Dogs any day of the week. Tighter, more coherent story. Focused script. I've never been a big fan of Pulp Fiction.
I'm with you, Nathan.
on 2/5/2012
Reservoir Dogs was a little too straight forward and simple of a story to top Pulp Fiction; I agree it was a prototype of sorts. Still a great film, just not Pulp Fiction great.
resevoir dogs was good but i thought pulp fiction was on a whole nother level
on 2/19/2012
Pulp Fiction wins for sure.
on 4/14/2012
Bits of Reservoir Dogs were boring. Pulp Fiction didn't have any boring bits. Pulp Fiction it is.
on 4/19/2012
Resevoir Dogs is a better movie. Pulp Fiction seemed kind of confusing and random at times.
on 5/21/2012
Pulp Fiction.
on 6/5/2012
Dogs is the complete package.
on 6/14/2012
reservoir dogs, along with 12 angry men, is one of those movies with very little story, yet still manages to deliver in every aspect. pulp fiction didn't really do much for me. the dialogue and samuel l jackson's performance were too pretentious in my opinion, and for the love of god, please stop dancing, travolta.
on 7/6/2012
on my list PF #5 and RD #14. for now...
on 8/8/2012
I respect Reservoir Dogs but Pulp Fiction is better! period
on 9/8/2012
With Pulp Fiction, Tarantino decided that man can live on irony alone. He was wrong. Reservoir Dogs is better.
on 9/26/2012
Pulp Fiction's got more personality. Personality goes a long way.
on 10/3/2012
Reservoir Dogs, and Basterds IS Tarantino's masterpiece. I have very high hopes for Django, erghhhh, so excited! haha
on 10/26/2012
pulp fiction is the better one
on 11/25/2012
Change of heart. Reservoir Dogs holds up better as a piece of storytelling.
on 11/27/2012
"You guys act like a bunch of fuckin' niggers."
on 12/7/2012
Soooo...how many of you guys went to see Pulp Fiction tonight? That was pretty fucking sweet.
So, after countless failed attempts of trying to watch Pulp Fiction the whole way through, I finally did it. Today was the first time I watched Pulp Fiction. That deserves some applause! (Nobody? oh well...). And what did I think of it? Eh...it's alright. Reservoir Dogs remains my favorite Tarantino movie, and Inglourious Basterds still takes the number 2 spot. I can't really detect a major flaw in Pulp Fiction, it's just that I didn't love it. Reservoir Dogs is tighter and more focused on the story, and at times it feels more like a play than an actual movie, which I actually like. RD for me.
on 1/21/2013
The only thing I could say about RD that might give it an edge over Pulp Fiction is how much it does with so little. I love that it can tell such an intriguing story mainly in the confines of that warehouse and keep it interesting throughout. But Pulp Fiction is massively better.
on 1/22/2013
Tarantino's two best movies however in the end, I believe that Pulp Fiction is superior in story telling, better and more entertaining dialogue, better characters, greater cast and simply the story itself is so much more grand.
My two favorite Tarantino films. As much as I love Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction is and most likely will always be Tarantino's masterpiece.
on 1/28/2013
Pulp fiction is my number one movie
Two of Tarantinos many masterpieces, but Pulp Fiction wins this one.
on 1/29/2013
You know what? If my house is on fire and Pulp Fiction is on TV, I'll continue watching Pulp Fiction. If Reservoir Dogs was in the same scenario, I would find a fire extinguisher first, put out the flames, then go back to watching Dogs.
on 2/1/2013
Reservoir Dogs is Tarantino's masterpiece. Everything about that film is utterly perfect; The character are unbelievably quotable, the segments are done to the best extent, the script is coherent and the acting is incredible.
on 2/10/2013
I like Reservoir Dogs plot better.
on Mar 6
This is close. Pulp.
on Apr 3
Reservoir Dogs is my personal favorite Tarantino film, but I admit that Pulp Fiction is better.
on Apr 20
Reservoir dogs gets my vote
on Apr 22
Reservoir Dogs is tarantinos best film. Followed by Pulp Fiction and then Inglorious Basterds.
on Apr 28
Both of these films I liked but didn't love. I didn't enjoy the first chapter of Pulp Fiction but the others made up for that with great dialogue and interesting plots. Reservoir Dogs was all enjoyable but didn't really try to go anywhere. For that reason, Pulp Fiction wins
