Reservoir Dogs vs Pulp Fiction
 

If someone asked me to say which was better between the two films I really could not answer the question. At least not a very good answer. There are some elements of Dogs that are far superior to to Fiction in terms of how gritty and how real they are but the slickness of Fiction is just wonderful.

The two main relationships in the films for me at any rate are thus:

Mr Pink & Mr White
Vincent Vega & Jules Winnfield

Both have relationships but in different ways, they are none the less just as wonderful.

My example from Reservoir Dogs would be in the warehouse where there is a tussle between between Pink & White:

When I first saw this scene I was simply blown away. For one thing I have never seen anything like this before I was still young (sixteen I believe) but also just the delivery of these lines were just fantastic, Buscemi had so much passion in him and as much of a weasel as you may think he is, he knew what he was there for.

My example from Pulp Fiction would be in the car talking about McDonalds:

This is possible one of the most discussed scenes because of the comment about what things in France are called in the "Royale with Cheese" but what I love about this is you can tell these two guys are friends, we don't really know much about them at this point so as far as we are concerned they could just be two friends shooting the breeze driving somewhere.

What for you however makes one over the the other? It is a tough call but I have to say Dogs.

Pulp Fiction revolutionized the motion picture industry and set the standard for what movies should be like entering the 21st century.

Reservoir Dogs is the greatest debut by a writer/ director.

If I had to choose, it would have to be Pulp Fiction.

Dogs has its days, but for me, this is no contest. Pulp Fiction. Dogs was so clearly the warmup act for Pulp.

My vote goes to the Dogs, but it's close.

I'll watch anything Tarantino does, but I wish he'd go back to crime films.

Re: Reservoir Dogs vs Pulp Fiction
 

I'd go with Pulp Fiction. Maybe because at first I didn't like it, but eventually loved it after the second time, while I liked Reservoir Dogs constantly after the first seance. Moreover, I think that Pulp Fiction is more complex and has better dialogue.

Re: Reservoir Dogs vs Pulp Fiction
 

I'm really not sure about this. In the past it would have been an easy win for Pulp Fiction. Now however I feel it's starting to flip a little. I feel that I'm going a bit cold on Pulp, but that Dogs is really growing on me. Will need to watch both of them again at some point this year perhaps.

Woah, a massive amount of win for Pulp already. One thing I am interested in is how people discovered Dogs? Did you watch it before Pulp Fiction or did you watch Pulp Fiction and then think "I wonder what else Tarrentino has done?"

Re: Reservoir Dogs vs Pulp Fiction
 

Pulp Fiction - it was one of those movies you find yourself telling even strangers to watch. I can't think of that many films since that have had such an impact. Great soundtrack and also one of the coolest movie posters to have on your wall ever! :)

Really? I tell every stranger to watch Werckmeister Harmonies. Weird reactions.

Re: Reservoir Dogs vs Pulp Fiction
 

Pulp Fiction is easily the superior film, though Reservoir Dogs is quite good.

I watched Pulp Fiction first and then reluctantly checked out Dogs later (after seeing and absolutely hating the Kill Bill movies) after reading so much praise for it here and elsewhere on the net.

Django Unchained is my favorite Tarantino film though, followed by Inglourious Basterds and Pulp Fiction.

Thanks for the 'heads up' That's one I haven't seen. :)

I saw Reservoir Dogs first. I worked in a video shop when it came out and it became very popular with little publicity.

I always thought Dogs was the better film but re-watched them both in the last six months and Pulp Fiction is better in pretty much every way. Dogs is a very good film but Pulp is brilliant.

In my opinion, Reservoir Dogs is the superior film. Sure, Pulp Fiction was innovative in its structure (jumping about sporadically), but Reservoir Dogs was just a better movie, all around. I loved the character dynamics, the humor, the plot, etc. The beginning of the film where everyone is sitting around at the diner is an amazing scene!

Re: Reservoir Dogs vs Pulp Fiction
 

They're both brilliant but Pulp Fiction takes the upper hand here in my opinion although the ear cutting scene in Reservoir Dogs is the most memorable out of the two films for me.

Re: Reservoir Dogs vs Pulp Fiction
 

Pulp Fiction is great, Reservoir Dogs put me to sleep.

Re: Reservoir Dogs vs Pulp Fiction
 

Maybe Pulp Fiction is the better movie and the most innovating one, but for my personnal non objective liking I prefer Reservoir Dogs

Re: Reservoir Dogs vs Pulp Fiction
 

I think it's quite obvious that from influental/objective side Pulp Fiction is better.But for me,excluding Jackie Brown and Django Unchained,whichever QT movie I rewatch,it becomes my favorite at that time. :D

Re: Reservoir Dogs vs Pulp Fiction
 

I haven't seen either in forever, but Dogs was my favourite. I saw Jackie Brown fairly recently and I'm not convinced I wouldn't put that above Pulp Fiction.

As for the order, I've seen the Tarantino films as they've been released.
