Pulp Fiction or Jackie Brown?
 

Had you asked me this 5 years ago, I would have said "no contest!" But today, I'm honestly having a hard time, and even leaning towards Jackie Brown.

Anybody else out there find Jackie Brown to be a better movie? Damn, even writing "better movie" gives me pause because Pulp Fiction was such a groundbreaking movie. But Jackie Brown is just so entertaining!

I think I like Jackie Brown better.

Saw both in the cinema on both on release. Saw both again recently...Jackie Brown by quite a big margin.

Never seen Jackie Brown, but I find it hard to believe it could match the heights of Pulp Fiction.

Jackie Brown is the odd Tarantino film out of his filmography due to it being an adaptation and not an original piece. I didn't like it when I was younger, but have grown to appreciate it as I've gotten older. You'll have "those" people who claim it's his best and most mature film because it's NOT a Tarantino piece, but an Elmore Leonard piece. Either way, I'm giving my vote to Pulp Fiction.

Pulp Fiction is better structured, but I like how Tarantino didn't do an original piece with Jackie Brown, and I wish he would adapt more stories from other sources sometimes. But I remember thinking Pulp Fiction is still better.

pulp fiction all day

Jackie Brown is the more restrained work he has ever done and actually flows better, even better then Pulp Fiction. With Pulp a Fiction he was out to make a point about violence, and film making in general, with Jackie Brown he just wanted to tell a story.
The acting was better in Jackie Brown in my opinion as well. That’s not a slight against a Pulp Fiction, as it’s a tour de force all on its own, but having rewatched Jackie Brown recently, it still crackles with an intensity unmatched by few of his later films

Pulp Fiction all the way.

Re: Pulp Fiction or Jackie Brown?
 

Jackie Brown for me. Dislike Pulp

I have Jackie as his 3rd best just behind Pulp at #2.

My favourite are Jackie Fiction and Pulp Brown. The latter sounds like a scat video. :D

Pulp Fiction

The entire time I watched Jackie Brown I thought she was a he, distracted me from the whole film.

Honestly Jackie Brown to me feels like its more along the lines of "serious cinema" people were more ready to get behind but really I don't think it plays to Tarantino's strengths very well and I'm glad he moved away from that kind of film.

Pulp is just so much fun. Pulp > Jackie

Next week, Godfather or Rumble Fish?

I wouldn't even put Jackie Brown in Tarantino's top five. Whereas I'd put Pulp Fiction as his best.

Re: Pulp Fiction or Jackie Brown?
 

I have seen both many, many times and it's Jackie Brown all the way for me. One of my all-time favorite movies and my favorite Tarantino film.

Rumble Fish.

Agree, but Reservoir Dogs is my favorite.
