wow hard decision...
on 8/25/2009
Indeed. I'll base mine on the director. Scorsese wins over Tarantino. Goodfellas wins this one.

I never thought this day would come...

Pulp Fiction wins because it was better in every way.
on 11/20/2009
Goodfellas is infinitely superior. No question in my mind about that.
on 11/29/2009
Pulp Fiction was more fun.

Both movies are loaded with self-righteous psychopathic murderers and who doesn't love that? That's a joke. Two perfect movies that you could easily slide into your "favorite of all time" slot, but for me it's Pulp Fiction. The movie made me a film fanatic. I know Tarantino bites Scorsese stylistically but who cares??? I'm sure Scorsese has his influences that he borrows from - everyone does!!!

SO HARD! But I go with Goodfellas, because Scorsese > Tarantino.

I think the edge goes to Pulp Fiction based on its higher place in the pantheon of pop culture, but I feel like GoodFellas was a better-made film.
on 5/2/2010
Pulp Fiction kicks ass, but I'm choosing GoodFellas because everything about it is better.
on 5/12/2010
Can pop culture be referred to with the term 'pantheon'? Anyway, they both rock. I'm going Goodfellas because PF forced me to enjoy Jackson, Travolta & Thurman all in one movies.

Wow, really couldn't picture this match up ... Goodfellas probably deserves to win because it's so finely crafted and perfected by Scorsese, but there is just something so fun and exciting about the writing and performances of Pulp Fiction! Close call, but it's Tarantino by a nose.
This is a really hard one but Pulp Fiction wins in a really close vote.

Ugh. What!? This is impossible.

My two favorite films...I'll always defer to Pulp Fiction, a movie that made me look at movies in a different way and continues to entertain me every time I watch it, but those long, elegant shots in Goodfellas are really something to behold. Really, you can't go wrong with either of them, though.

Two of my favorite directors of all time! But going for Pulp FIction
on 10/11/2010
Pulp Fiction was a good movie but had several story lines and was a little confusing for me. Goodfellas was straight forward and very entertaining. I would have to go with the long but good Goodfellas.

Both Goodfellas and Pulp Fiction exist in a state of Limbo for me. At one time, I considered them both to be hugely influential in shaping my perspective on film, but now neither seem to hold very much significance. After watching well over a thousand movies since the mid-90s, when I considered Goodfellas and Pulp Fiction to be among the pinnacle of what film had to offer, my tastes have changed a great deal. Both movies are just sort of floating around in my movie watching consciousness, not really fitting in with the past or present. There are movies I liked twenty years ago that are still relevant to shaping my tastes today, but Goodfellas and Pulp Fiction haven't successfully made the transition into the modern age. Maybe they helped build the bridge between my past and present tastes, though now the bridge is no longer necessary. I'm not really interested in watching either of them ever again, so what purpose do they serve? I don't know. Joe Pesci wears on my nerves these days, at least I can say that much. Then again, there's a lot about Pulp Fiction that I can do without, as well. The excessive narration in Goodfellas is the other thing that bugs me (next to Pesci), but the rest of the movie is fairly exhilarating. Pulp Fiction leaves me feeling blah overall.

Today Pulp Fiction wins.
I'll go with Goodfellas...
on 4/14/2011
Very hard one, But I have to say that GoodFellas is best.
on 5/24/2011
Both exceptional scripts, rambling narratives, knockout ensemble performances, classically amazing popular-song scores, noted auteurs. Both just a little bit longer for me than they needed to be. But for me, even with its epic length (which is arguably appropriate) Goodfellas never gets slow, and picks up at its most intense right in the last act. Pulp Fiction meanwhile drags in the penultimate section with The Wolf, and works best somewhere in the early middle with the Bruce Willis storyline. Pulp Fiction is more creative in its presentation, but Goodfellas never lets down.

INCREDIBLY hard but I think Goodfellas just edges it for me....
on 7/17/2011
I would say that Goodfellas is better.
on 7/26/2011
I honestly don't understand the hype behind both movies. They're both great, that i can agree, but goodfellas being one of the best of all time? i don't know. pulp fiction as well. how can it be forth in the flickchart chart? there are at least 50 movies that i've seen that are better then these two. as for the choise, i choose Pulp Fiction. Why? because i like it better
on 11/8/2011
It almost hurts. Matter fact,it does. I know 90% Will go w/ Pulp Fiction on this one,and i understand it. I really do. But Goodfellas....it has a bigger place in my heart. I f'n love it.
on Nov 23
I believe Goodfellas is the better movie.
on Nov 26
While both are fantastic, well-made movies, my reasoning for choosing Pulp Fiction is part of the minority; I personally believe Tarantino is better than Scorsese. Sure, Tarantino may be influenced by Scorsese a lot, Tarantino's progression of story and edgy writing makes for better movies.
on Dec 21
The ultimate test, a test of two die hard fan groups. GoodFellas is my choice because it holds weight as well as keeping the tone light despite the dark events. The opening scenes of both movies are fantastic, but Joe Pesci's face still scares me to this day.
on Dec 27
My #1 vs my #2. Pulp Fiction it is.
on Dec 29
While I love Goodfellas, I have to go with Pulp Fiction here. It's more layered and has better writing.
