You've read the title, now tell me. I personally think it's one of the best films I've ever seen.

When it first came out, I thought it was the bees knees. But I don't think its stood the test of time, and I now think, its ok. A good film, but not something I have to watch if its on the telly.

Films that I'd put in this category would be;

The Blues Brothers
Shawshank Redemption
Star Wars (The original one)
Schindlers List
Forest Gump
Slap Shot

But thats just my opinion and there's probably more of which Mrs Surfin would say, "why are we watching this again....."

Jim:thumbsup:

City of God is without doubt the best film I've ever seen. Best and favourite differ though as my favourite has to be True Romance as it's just a great movie to watch.

shawshank is in fact the best film ever made with pulp fiction and resevoir dogs coming in at joint second. best ever comedy is school of rock

Wrong I'm afraid.

Shawshank is good but not worthy of the number one spot. Scarface and City of God beat it for starters.

Comedy wise, Happy Gilmore takes some beating as do Airplane and Dumb and Dumber.

clerks, spirited away, drunken master (any of) in no particular order.

Pulp Fiction is weak and infantile with poor dialogue, no character development and amateurish performances. I'm amazed that anyone over the age of thirteen is impressed by it yet it has a large following and no end of critical appraisal.

What is the greatest/worst film ever made is totally subjective. I think Pulp Fiction is a superb movie, which was genuinely groundbreaking in terms of character dialogue and chronology. I think the performances too are great.

Best film ever for my money? The Third Man by Carol Reed, or maybe Cool Hand Luke with Paul Newman.

It's ok, I prefer Kill Bill.

It's good. About as good as Batteries Not Included.

I found it distinctly average. Though I have to admit I'm not a fan of Tarantino - I find his work derivative, continually rehashed and relying on fetishised violence for a shock effect. Plenty of much better stuff out there :)

It's up there with some of the best, for me though it has to be Layer Cake :D

i cant beleive anyone would find that film average , it is by far in my opinion the greatest film ever, i do always find people that dont like the film a but chavish n thick cause they don't have a clue whats goin on and also people that arent very streetwise! but hey thats what i think!!

this isnt luv_milk's opinion it's meggy's.........sorry:confused:

I love Pulp Fiction! I've watched it a million times, know the words and I still love it!

I do think its a great film but Empire Strikes Back (star wars) is without doubt the greatest film evermade IMHO

Wrong I'm afraid.

Oh he must be wrong, because of course its your opinion that counts!


Silence of the lambs.. " IT puts the lotion in the basket or else IT gets the hose again"

I love Pulp Fiction, prefer Fight Club though

YES IT IS!!! i had this depate on firday night, and won......

Come back and ask in thirty or forty years' time. It's pointless asking if anything evenvaguely recent is the best of all time - people's memories are highly selective. That's why, every year when this is done about the Best Ever Anything, the top ten contains six new entries that were all released in the last twelve months, and the six such entries that appeared last year have all vanished again.

I'd lay odds that, in fifty years, nobody is watching Pulp Fiction. Could quite easily be wrong though.

i know this is going to sound really sad but heres my all time favourites

calamity jane
wizard of oz

these are just classics and always will be

my favourite so far in the last few years has to be "American history X", ooh edward norton , (yum). its a fantastic film.

if you've not seen it, WATCH IT !

shawshank redemption
goodfellas
casino

all fantastic films

PF is also one of my favourite films.

Other great films:

Godfather (all of them)
A Clockwork Orange
Natural Born Killers
Kill Bill I and II

Pulp Fiction s a great film make no mistake about it but not the greatest,

Sin City has with its gritty black and white filming and just the slash of colour the interlocking of all the stories and graphic though not gratuatus (IMO) violence bettered Pulp Fiction.

Gladiator for taking the person watching in making them feel for the characters makes for a truely great film

Pulp Fiction s a great film make no mistake about it but not the greatest,


Oh no, you beat me to it! I was just going to say that "Pulp Fiction" is a great film indeed, but it's not the greatest. I hope it will stand the test of time (I think it will) and be up there amongst the Classics always.

StarSparkle

The Sting is my favourite film, but almost anything with Paul Newman in it gets my vote.



Actually my real favourite film is Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, but I haven't admitted that to myself yet, let alone anyone else...

Taxi Driver's probably the best modern classic for me.

Tarantinos films have got worse as his budgets have got bigger. Reservoir Dogs is excellent and its a sliding scale downwards from there. A case of a one trick pony being given far too much say in his movies and no-one having the guts to say "Quentin behave yourself thats crap".

Quite proud that this was the first film I took my (now) wife to see. Not a bad choice, me thinks....

Mind you our first date was Nottingham Forest v Coventry City...

:thumbsup:

The best film ever is Commando. End of.

'Let off some steam, Bennett'

"wheres shorty" (or whatever his name was) "i had to let him go" :hihi:

classic line

In answer to the authors question: 'Yes, Pulp Fiction IS one of the greatest ever films'

Script, Stars, Acting, Story, Violence, Humour, Music, Love, Sex, Drugs, Dark . . etc... etc.... What more can you ask for in a film! 10/10!

In my opinion it's an excellent film, not as good as La Haine or the Rocky Horror Picture Show ( though that wasn't a film originally) but Pulp Fiction is definitely somewhere in my top five.
