    It wasn't an easy choice for me ... Tarantino is, well, Tarantino, and I love his films to death, but there's something about PTA's films that always manage to strike a chord with me on a deeper level (most notably Magnolia)...

    They both have excellent films though.

    Well, unlike several of these polls where I like one director and am somewhat indifferent to the other. I love QT movies, and hated There Will Be Blood, Punch-Drunk Love and Boogie Nights.

    just like everybody else

    hopefully, in the end we're losing to Hitchcock... but since Anderson is losing to Tarantino, I wish I could vote for Anderson as many times as it took. He needs 5 more votes now.

    Tough. This reminds me that QT is not all bad 'cause PTA is not all great. Voting for Anderson, just doubt he'll get my vote again if he should happen to advance.

    if he should happen to advance, it's not Tarantino he will face

    if it is Spielberg, though, then Anderson will have my voice again

    I understand. I'm only saying that he'd be more likely to face someone who I prefer, statistically.

    statistically, everybody I prefer is about to face everybody I prefer very soon

    (except Tarantino and Spielberg; hope they face each other and cancel out)

    How is Tarantino beating PT Anderson? HOW? This was an absolute no brainer and I love Tarantino. Tarantino, however, will always be a better script writer than a director. Always. I love his movies but they are not near the quality movies nor can he get the performances out of his actors like PT Anderson can.

    For those that don't know, PT Anderson has a new movie coming out called 'The Master'...AMAZING CAST:

    The Master will be the seminal event of my life when it comes out. And Tarantino, as much as I love him, never really directs anything with any sort of thematic or emotional heft. He's a clever man who directs fun movies. Paul Thomas Anderson is a clever man who directs movies that can be fun, heart-wrenching, and awe-inspiring.

    I enjoy most of the films from both QT and PTA.

    That being said, if I had 2+ hours to kill and I want to watch a movie, I would choose Pulp Fiction over There Will Be Blood.

    I would choose Reservoir Dogs over Magnolia.

    I just think QT makes more entertaining films(to me of course.) For those of you who love There Will Be Blood, you have to admit, that is not exactly an easy film to watch. You can't just sit down and watch that film. You have to be in the mood.

    Also, I can't help but feel Punch Drunk Love is a tad overrated.

    You do have a point. But when I get up from watching There Will Be Blood I definitely feel more than when I get up from watching Pulp Fiction.

    What? Reservoir Dogs isn't even that strong of a movie.

    Yeah, it's a tad overrated in the sense it's absolutely amazing. One of my favourite movies, EVER.

    These results make me cry. I'm also curious as to why everyone who voted for Tarantino has fallen back on Pulp Fiction and not even mentioned Ingorious Basterds, which was his best film.

    I really enjoyed Pulp Fiction, but couldn't stand Inglourious Basterds. I just thought it couldn't decide whether it wanted to be a serious war film, with all the little moments of long dialogue, or a dumb, stupid action movie that took the piss out of history, especially with that really dumb ending. Really, too much of the time it was just too stupid for me to enjoy.

    And for a film to be too stupid for me, a guy who enjoys Scott Pilgrim and really wants to see Machete, is saying a lot!
