    Pulp fiction's circular script and the way you can start it at any scene and it will come back to the same spot make it a classic piece of cinema.

    The rest are just violent movies.

    Sin City has been shot in a similar vein methinks Dave.

    And the comic book effect is enthralling.
    But there can only be one original - anything.

    Dusk till Dawn was a complete headfuck.

    Started out as a perfectly normal bank robbery, ended up as something completely different. Certainly didn't expect that, then again, most of what I remember focus around a certain albino snake.

    You shouldn't really dismiss Sin City like that.

    Mind you, the story with Clive Owen was a bit weak and formulaic.

    But Mickey Rourke and Bruce Willis's subplots were superb cinema, no two ways about it.

    Stories told on film can be (and have been) just as good as, or better than, the books that inspired them.

    Bladerunner, The Ice Storm...

    And the second film version of 'Solaris' was better than the first.

    Yeah OK - but I could still argue it's merely a violent comic strip with a 'killer' effects.

    Spaaaarta.

    Name another Pulp?

    Hmmm, it's a tough call, Sin City is mesmerising (JA gyrating will do that!)in it's fantasy comic book nature it's also a little different from the ordinary Joe in the extraordinary scenario which is a theme that seems to run though Tarantino's work.
    Suppose that's a product of not producing the original material though.

    I voted for Dusk Till Dawn though, as Gubb said it's just a complete head fuck in the middle of the film and I like Chicken Pussy!

    Usarka would this film rate a mention? Not all the masters work but an entertaining film none the less. The scene with Quentin, Tim Roth and the zippo is one of the classics IMHO.

    I just think Sin City's a great film, is all. Shouldn't be dismissed.

    Also, Kill Bill was bollocks, but the soundtrack album is my favouritest ever. Tarantino's two strengths are writing and directing pointless conversation so that it sounds witty and profound, and choosing absolutely super music.

    Who's talking about sequels? I thought we were discussing adaptations of books or remakes of earlier movies.

    Also, given that no originals have actually been proposed and agreed as being better, I make it Originals - 0.

    Not to mention that it's not a scored competition - you presented a falsifiable proposition which has been duly falsified.



    Edit: Also, er... I mentioned three.

    But the question is 'which movie' - no mamby pamby also runnings

    (re three - I don't agree with one.)
