Is "Forrest Gump" as good as "Pulp Fiction"?

Ace Bandage

The one and only.
That's like comparing GoodFellas to Toy Story 3. Those are two completely different films. Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction deal with completely different subject matters. How can you possibly make a comparison between the two films? What criteria would you use?

In my opinion, they're both excellent films. I'll leave it at that.

They're both great movies but they're also in different genres. You simply cannot compare the two. Apples and Oranges.
 
I assume the reason for the comparison is both films were nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award the same year and Gump won.

Personally...out of the 5 nominees that year (Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction, The Shawshank Redemption, Quiz Show, and Five Weddings and a Funeral), I thought Quiz Show was the best film.

:cool:
 
That would be like asking if The Shawshank Redemption was as good as Fried Green Tomatoes. Both are excellent movies. Just as Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction are.

That's a stacked year.
 
Forrest Fiction

"Have you found Jesus yet, Gump?"
"What?"
"Jesus, muthafucka, have you found him?!"
"What?"
"Say 'what' again! Say 'what' again, I dare you! I double dare you mutherfucka, say what one more Goddamn time!!!"
"...Okay..."

"Hey Bubba."
"Hey, Forrest, you know what they call shrimp in France?"

"Gump! What is your sole purpose in the military?!"
"To do whatever you tell me to, Drill Sergeant!!"
"...Check out the big brain on Forrest!"

I don't like Pulp Fiction.
I don't like Quentin Tarantino, he's a hack.
John Travolta is a terrible actor.

I can't take any movie with John Travolta in it seriously. Or Bruce Willis, either. Except for 12 Monkeys. But only because Madeleine Stowe is hot.
