This is an epic battle filled with comeback after comeback. Does Ghostbusters have one last push to take the lead one final time, and what the hell am I going to do in the event of a tie?
Stay tuned to find out. |

I enjoy Pulp Fiction, but it doesn't have the same rewatch value as Ghostbusters for me. I appreciate how well plotted and well executed Pulp Fiction is, and its tough to list any movie above it, but Ghostbusters isn't "any movie"... it's fucking Ghostbusters, the most iconic movie ever made.

I still cannot believe this honestly, I am disgusted.
I mean I get nostalgic about the Goonies, but if someone asked me to choose what was the better film The Goonies or Reservoir Dogs I would not pick The Goonies because of this, because I know Dogs is a superior film and also one of the most ground breaking and influential in Hollywood's history. |

I truly think Ghostbusters is better. Get over yourself right now, Chris. Come on now. People disagree.

You can't dismiss Ghostbusters as a nostalgic vote. People weren't walking out of screenings of Ghostbusters in 1984 in awe out of nostalgia for the film they had just seen... rather because it's hilarious, ambitious and generally just cool as fuck. Bit like Pulp Fiction, I guess, but better.

Ghostbusters is commonly listed as one of the best comedy of all time. It's not only a nostalgia vote.

Great match up. Love the tone this sets for the rest of the competition. When Theddy, Jeritron, and I were discussing what matchup to make, we settled on Ghostbusters because we thought it'd be one of the few movies that might have a chance to stay close to Pulp Fiction. Needless to say this has to be considered a bit of an upset.
I'll put the next round up in a couple hours as I don't want to deal with typing in html code on my blackberry. If you have any requests for movies you'd like to see featured in this competition then don't be bashful, send me a message. |

I have to say I'm surprised at the outcome, even though I voted for Ghostbusters.

I'm aware that Pulp Fiction is technically the better film. It's also more influential. No doubt about it.
However, we're voting on whatever criteria we want here, and I went with personal preference. Hence, I voted Ghostbusters. I'm aware of Pulp Fictions merits, and I appreciate it's intertextuality. I also love the movie. However, I watch Ghostbusters more often and it's just happened to have more of a role in my life. This is a poll, not AFI. I'll keep my vote to myself and not serve the greater good, thank you. Both movies are great, and recognized as such. This is an upset, but not some atrocity. It's one of the greatest comedies ever, and if we do it by genres respectively then they are both close, since the top the lists of their genres. |

I voted for Ghostbusters not on nostalgia. I voted for Ghostbusters because of the great writing, superb acting from everyone in the cast, and most of all the overall rewatch value of the film. I could watch Ghostbusters every week. Ghostbusters on DVD is probably the greatest investment I've made in the past 5 years; I watch it, my little brother watches it, my dad watches it, I let a friend borrow it and so on...

Why is one of the best comedies out of the question as one of the best movies?
The writing is fantastic. The film moves extremely well, and is helmed competently. On top of that, it's an insanely original premise, done extremely well. What makes it so taboo on a greatest movies of alltime list? The way it was shot? If there were more trunk-shots and bells and whistles would it be acceptable? Pulp Fiction is incredible though. When it first came out, the impact it made was amazing. I suppose I'm just using different criteria here. Last edited by Jeritron; 05-25-2009 at 03:58 PM. |
