Thug, Pulp Fiction has moved down? You broke my heart... You broke my heart.

Pulp Fiction, for a while, was my #1 movie and along with The Godfather and Scarface, was what got me into classic films. All I can say is that I've found 7 films I like more than it.

Thug

He just saw a film that he thought was beter which then Demoted "Pulp Fiction". Thats how it goes...

In my case, Pulp doesnt have a chance in Hell to make my Top 10, anytime soon...

In no order, but I was thinking about this tonight. These are at least 5 of my top 10

1. Scarface
2. Usual Suspects
3. Boondock Saints
4. Memento
5. Fight Club

Pulp Fiction was your number one? I think I remember seeing you say that a little while back. Anyhow, I've seen tons of films after Pulp Fiction but none have beaten it so far. Fight Club tied with it, but nothing's beat it.

And Mike -- I know how it goes, I was joking around with 'em, bud.

In no particular order:

- Scarface
- Godfather The Trilogy
- Goodfellas
- Casino
- Kill Bill
- American History X
- Donnie Brasco
- The Pianist
- Broken Wings
- Carandiru

.

I'm sorry Anthony, I like Pulp Fiction, but I don't love it. I like Jackie Brown & Kill Bill more for just Tarantino flicks. I LOVE Samuel L. Jackson & Travolta in it, but when he switches to Bruce Willis & Ving Rhames (and I LOVE Bruce Willis) I just start to loss interest in the movie. I don't know why. There's something about the movie that doesn't strick me as great, but that's just me. I'm not saying your wrong or anything like that. What do you love so much about it? For me it's Jules, Jimmy, and The Wolf!

The Gold Watch story with Butch and Marsellus is actually my favorite part! I just love the unpredictability of it. Everytime I watch the movie, it's like it's for the first time. Every single actor nails his role absolutely perfectly; the story is original, the dialogue is witty and sharp... Everything about the film is incredibly perfect and flawless. In my opinion, anyhow. It's number one on my list of favorites, and definately in the top five for best.

1. The Godfather Part II
2. The Deer Hunter
3. Chinatown
4. The Godfather
5. Pulp Fiction
6. Apocalypse Now
7. Badlands
8. Vertigo
9. Once Upon A Time In America
10. Taxi Driver

My top 10 has changed quite significantly since I posted last, and here it is:

1. The Decalogue (1987/Kieslowski)
2. Days of Heaven (1978/Malick)
3. Greed (1924/von Stroheim)
4. Citizen Kane (1941/Welles)
