Dogs was a rough copy for what would later be his masterpiece in Pulp Fiction. Dogs was tighter but far less ambitious. Pulp Fiction has scenes which themselves beg for a movie. Pulp is a series of scenes seemingly stand alone parts which create a whole. From its creative casting to visuals, performances, and brilliant dialogue that rings true to the seady side of life while at the same time being utterly implausible it all gels and works to perfection. I frankly don't think Dogs is anywhere near as good but I understand the guys's guy appeal to the movie.

Pulp is the best, to date, though - tinear 07:44:40 04/29/04 (6)
Jackie Brown ain't far behind.
Who else has the imagination or the skill to write and film the scene in the pawn shop? Or the lead-up to it? Or the use of the 'cycle, after it?
And all that cleverness and complexity in one scene---among many just as intriguing!

  I liked Jackie Brown more than Dogs as well.
  SO far out of 5 ------ 3 recommended.
  Pulp Fiction ***** Number 2 on my list of best films of the 1990s.
  Jackie Brown ***1/2 (Made the top ten for its year).
  Kill Bill Vol. 1. ***1/2
  Reservoir Dogs **1/2
  True Romance (Sorta Counts) **1/2
  From Dusc Till Dawn **
  Four Rooms *
  I'm not quite convinced of Tarantino based off of one lone masterpiece - that said I'm always excited to see what he's going to make - and that is rare. And in his defense topping Pulp Fiction is very tough for him or anyone else working today to do. Heck for that matter after watching prized classics - it's doubtful I'll see anything from yesteryear that will best it. Citizen Kane and Casablanca and 8 & 1/2 are weaker films IMO so what's left?

    might be prudent to see the films under discussion.
    The pawn shop scene, obviously, was in "Pulp Fiction."

    And it's quite enjoyable.
