Pulp Fiction - on the basis of its endless, and arguably timeless, quotes.

I always thought Pulp Fiction showed good work ethic, along with dedication to your employer and fellow employee. There was a time for work and a time for play.

I love the miracle scene in Pulp Fiction. I've used it in class in conjunction with Hume's essay On Miracles.
However, you need to add Reservoir Dogs to the choices. The opening scenes in that movie where the hunting pack of males plans its forays is one of my favorites.

I voted for the last option but I think I would lean towards Pulp Fiction, I still play it for background when there is nothing on and I wnat to veg out.

Yeah I'm going Pulp Fiction...though Reservoir Dogs would top nearly all...I really like most of Roth's movies and Madsen was fantastic in this one...

Goodfellas has my vote between these two mostly because Pesci is so ruthless.

A friend of mine had a short conversation with Tarantino over a burger snack at 2am in the morning and she asked where he came up with Pulp Fiction....he said "I just made it up".

As for Reservoir Dogs the diner where the movie starts is a breakfast place within walking distance of my place. They have great breakfast omlettes.

Give us name and directions. It'll be on my list of places to eat next time I'm in LA.

Pulp Fiction. Because Tarantino somehow created entertainment value, where we should all hope we should find none - yet all did - from so very many different angles. Brilliant!!!
