OH MY GOD!!! Toughest yet! After 15 minutes, I think PULP wins. Brilliant as MEMENTO is, there isn't a particularly memorable scene, sequence, quote or dialogue. PULP is FILLED with them. ALL of them. PULP wins --by a foot.

I agree. As much as I love Memento, Pulp wins this one.

WOW

Memento doesn't have Jules...

I'm not sure I can continue on this site, if I have to make choices like this. I've seen Pulp more, so it must win.

I'll be different. Memento wins. Pulp Fiction was great, but there's nothing like Memento....

I LOVE Memento, but Pulp Fiction is the better film.

It's very close. But Memento wins for me. Pulp Fiction has Uma Thurman and I don't really like her. Also, Pulp Fiction doesn't really move me. It's too unreal. Too much posing if you will (it's Tarantino. What can you do?^^). Don't get me wrong. I love them both. 10 point movies. I love Ving Rhames and I love Bruce Willis here. Jackson is great aswell. I just think, Memento is more challenging and feels a little more real.

Memento wins for me due to just how ingenious the storytelling was. Telling a story in reverse that generates a greater impact than in linear format is brilliant.

I'm one of the few people who didn't like PF at all.Memento without hesitation.

Time and story structure manipulation match-up. Memento could not function without its manipulation, which serves a key story point to keep the audience in line with the protagonist. Memento wins.

SquareMaster316 hits the nail on the head here. To be honest, I've never truly loved a Tarantino film (Reservoir Dogs is about as close as I get) but Nolan never fails to amaze. I've never seen another movie quite like Memento, though some have tried.

Pulp fiction all day!

Original is an adjective that can be used to describe both these films. But the non-linear narrative served a bigger purpose in Memento than Pulp Fiction. Memento is the tighter more innovative film.

Pulp Fiction was okay, but Memento was pretty good

memento might just be the most gripping mystery film i've ever seen. If not, its sure up there. No disrespect intended towards tarantino. He will go down in history as a great film making pioneer

both are great and uniqe flicks, but Pulp Fictions impact is far greater

I'm more a Nolan guy than a Tarantino guy. Memento.

Pulp Fiction.

Memento is great but Pulp Fiction is legendary.

Two great sophomore efforts by my two favorite directors. Pulp Fiction wins.

on 1/19/2013

This matchup is a toughie. Memento probably gets the edge in plot, but in pure entertainment and quotability PF without hesitation.

Pulp Fiction. in my top 5 while Memento is still my top 20.

Memento wins. I respect Pulp Fiction for all it's notoriety, but Memento is just such an amazing movie.

Pulp Fiction for me

Memento is a great movie, but I'll go with Pulp Fiction because it's kind of the movie that made me a movie fan.
