Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Pulp Fiction

So I've seen two movies of Quentin Tarantino [Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs] and both the films are even if not immensely disappointing, they are disappointing. Apart form the acting and score, there is really nothing groundbreaking in both the movies.
I get that Pulp Fiction have nice dialogues and it is non-linear at its peak, but even that two things doesn't make a movie great. There were no suspense for me in the whole movie, no thrill and literally 3-4 laughs at scenes. Even I was struggling to concentrate on the movie.
And don't judge me that I don't like non-linear, suspense, mystery films. I love movies and every kind of movies, they are just WOW!
And another thing that I don't get is it is higher ranked than FIGHT CLUB! MAN FIGHT CLUB! I loved that movie like beep. I just keep on watching it over and over again. Pulp Fiction is higher ranked than Nolan's some of the best movies and Fincher's some of the best movies like Se7en and Gone Girl!
Judge me and convince me that this movie really deserves to be on 7th rank! Because for me, it is worthy for IMDb Top 250 but not in the top 10 range, but in the 200-250 range!
(I know I am pi**ed now because everyone gonna slam me with their comments!!!) -

PF is rated 8.9, FC is rated 8.8. A fractional 0.1 difference is hardly any cause to fill your britches with foam over what IMDB members collectively rated these two movies. No offense, but you're being a bit of a drama princess splitting hairs over movies that have near identical ratings.
Inger, you must rot, because the times are rotten. -

Exactly agreed. But see, when you are browsing good movies to see from Top 250, you will notice it by rank and not by rated number. That's what I am saying, because FC is just far more complex film with more deeper character development and and storytelling. That's why I am being "a drama princess splitting hairs over movies that have near identical ratings"!

Perhaps you haven't explored the site beyond the top 250, but it's quite easy to find good movies with IMDB's multiple top lists sorted by whatever criteria you prefer - by genre, by year, box office, and various other sorting criteria.
IMDB has a feature film inventory of nearly one million movies, until you learn how to surf the site, you are limiting your own exposure to only 250 movies out of nearly one million movies. So that onus is on you, it's not the site's or list's fault you choose to ignore how to explore a movie site.

No, it's not that. I am just saying that really the TOP 250 has the best movies collection.
And I am no beginner here, using IMDb from more than 3 years and have an account since 1 year and 7 months. I do watch many films that are not in Top 250, you can see my ratings. I am just saying whenever a beginner comes here, he/she starts to find good movies by seeing Top 250. So I am saying this just for them.
Also, It's nice talking with you actually! Enjoying some more expanded ideas to explore here on IMDb message boards, looking for more people like this! -

Ahh I see, so your motive here is you're playing forum hero for the beginners. Well then, I would imagine all those cinematic tenderfoots will appreciate the cyber crusade you have taken up. Though I'm sure an IMDB "veteran" such as yourself knows there is already forums to assist site beginners along with a detailed Help Center.
Lastly, if you think this site is not user friendly to beginners, there's nothing anyone here can do about it, so you're barking up the wrong tree in your valiant effort to stand bravely for the beginners. You need to redirect your heroic protest to IMDB support. I'm sure you being an IMDB veteran, I don't need to tell you how to submit an IMDB support ticket.

You do care. You will not sleep tonight. You will stay up and worry and wonder why my words cut through like a reed of grass through a monkeys ass.
Can this really be the end..to be stuck inside of mobile
