Fight Club is pretentious and overrated trash, and don't compare a guy like Nolan who makes run of the mill blockbuster movies to Tarantino. You only sound ignorant when you say PF is not groundbreaking; maybe it doesn't look like it is today, but that's only because there have been countless copycats since it was released due to its influence. Why don't you try and digest this: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SeinfeldIsUnfunny
And work on your grammar, kiddo. -

Okay, got your point! But there are some movies which are old and even when If I watch it today for the first time, it feels so new and interesting you can't resist! And I didn't got that thing in Pulp Fiction. Maybe If I had seen that movie in theater at that time when it was released(I wasn't even born at that time), I would've appreciated it.
And on what basis you are saying Fight Club is trash, because everyone's opinion matters! Please tell me why do you think so.
Any grammatical mistake in this post? Please let me know. -

Nolan isn't a run of the mill Director. That's just insane. His Batman films completely revolutionized a Genre and everyone is trying to play catch-up. Memento, Insomnia, The Prestige and Inception are also far from "Typical" Blockbusters. Interstellar is the closest he has come to being "Typical" and even that is a quality picture. I prefer Fincher myself but Nolan is a great director.

Quentin Tarantino doesn't make cups of tea, he pours shots of whiskey so maybe you just couldn't handle it but don't say it's not groundbreaking because it was.
There is no other movie like Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs because they are unique and badass and they break the conventions of what a movie can be.
Not everyone is going to enjoy that. I don't really like his movies much either personally, but they are certainly impressive in their own right.
Fight Club is better though. -

Yeah, PF was always a little overrated. The acting and writing was pretty good and I especially love Sam Jackson's scenes. But the fact that it was non-linear and different than pretty much anything made before it convinced most audiences it was better than it was. About 7.5/10 for me. I do agree that Fight Club is better, that one is 10/10 and on my favorite list of all time.
No sense in complaining about the ratings though. Its always gonna be coinciding with the mainstream audience's way of thinking. I find that if I like/dislike movies at different levels than everybody else does, I'm at a good spot. -

The claim that PF was not a very good movie is not new and it has been shared by many film critics back in the mid 90s. It's a pastiche of American culture wrapped up in witty dialog. The famous diner scene between Vince and Mia pretty much sums up the entire criticism of it. It's a scene that contains a dance sequence that serves no real purpose to the story and takes place in a retro diner where the two characters are surrounded by American cultural icons as eye candy.
Never the less, all the critics of Tarantino (and there are a great many) do all have to concede that he is a very very good script writer and director regardless of their thoughts or dislike for Res Dogs and PF.
I personally an a fan of PF.
The thing to keep in mind about PF is you got to keep it in context to the year and era it was released.
Compare 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995

PF created an entire new type of film that could be made back then. No one ever wrote or make something like RD or PF. If Tarantino didn't make PF you would have been seeing safe bet John Grisham book sequels forever and ever.
