Is Pulp Fiction the greatest film ever?

Even if you're not a Christian I think one could appreciate the cinematography, direction, make up, etc..

Yeah the effects were nice.

Lemme dig up mine from some other place.

All of Al Pacino movies except for the Panic in the Needle Park but includes Chinese Coffee. All of the Adam Sandler movies except for his 1 movie and Airheads. Conan the Barbarian for its music (Arnie in). Shawshank Redemption. Prestige. The Apartment. Scarface. A New Hope and Return of the Jedi. Those last Planet of the Apes movies. Terminator the Judgement Day. Mad Max 2. The Book of Eli. 28 days Later. 12 Monkeys. Last Man Standing. The Postman. Threads. The Godfather Triology. Rocky 1. One Flew over the Cuckoo's nest. Shining. Forrest Gump. The Great Dictator. Reservoir Dogs. Pulp Fiction. From Dusk Till Dawn. A Clockwork Orange. Back to the Future Triology.

OK I watched it.


Conceptual = 10/10

Story = 10/10

Acting = 5/10

Camera Work = 3/10

Sound = 1/10


I think that sums it up.

You felt that you understood all the happenings on the first viewing? That's seems a bit contrived or a practice in hubris to me. Since there's like 10 timelines involved and nearly limitless permutations in some scenarios.. . It didn't seem arbitrary to you?? because you pieced together the 9+ timelines??

Mind if I ask ya a few questions to test your comprehension??

In the beginning, which Aaron was it sitting at the bench? Aaron 1 2 or 3?




Here's a pretty damn good visual of the timelines btw.(spoiler)

"Pulp Fiction" is on my "Desert Island" list, along with "The Godfather" and "The Big Lebowski", along with a few others, as well. "The Godfather" and "Pulp Fiction" are in the discussion for greatest movie ever and "The Big Lebowski" is simply great and to anyone who says otherwise, I say yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man. **** it, Dude. Let's go bowling.

Never seen This Is The End. Netflixing now. Tropic Thunder was good not great IMO, but that Tom Cruise dancing scene is another one of the best scenes of all time.



That's what I mean. It's old, outdated, dumb comedy. One day I'll watch it in full hoping to see just how wrong I am.




No mention of Office Space yet? It's in that category IMO.




Fish is killing this thread over and over. Heath Ledger made Mickey Rourke in Iron Man 2 look like a scrub, and that was a damn good acting job.

Dark Knight is so overrated. The parts that don't have Heath Ledger aren't that great.

And the whole plotline with Two Face (is that his name?) is unnecessary and tacked on as an afterthought. But I won't trash it any further, given the hate that I got for not liking Tarantino.

I just thought the whole "Batman becomes the CIA and can listen to every phone call at once thing" was kind of lame/

I can't say I understood it all or have gotten my head around the story or plot yet, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and give the story 10/10 for its complexity.


I didn't care for the camera work/cinematography and sound at all. A lot of the conversation I couldn't really hear clearly which is a shame. It would have been a FANTASTIC movie or even one of the GREATEST OF ALL TIME if it had something like a $1 million budget rather than $7,000 budget.


It's a bit unfortunate but that's just the way it is.
