Pulp is still his best movie
Reservoir Dogs is his best movie. But Pulp Fiction is good too.
Reservoir Dogs is a great debut, but it pales in comparison with Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown or Once... Those feel movies with actually something to say or prove.
Kill Bill might be another one in that list.

Haven't seen Jackie Brown unfortunately. So I can't compare that one. Otherwise I stand by my comment.

i was hoping to see you playing this one
I thought about it and in some ways Leon is a less intuitive choice but it's a personal fave. Plus I already had True Grit slotted in.

True Romance is a better Tarantino film than Reservoir Dogs. The latter is a good movie but it's a warmup act.

It's high on my list. LV thinks it'll be my favorite QT movie and he understands how much I hate QT so I trust him.

Then I guess I should have picked Wolf of Wall Street, three great Terence Winter film.

So to be clear, my claim is that True Romance, written by Tarantino and directed by Tony Scott, is a better movie than Reservoir Dogs, written and directed by Tarantino, and it's also more "Tarantino"-y!

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
