    I've never actually seen Pulp Fiction so I couldn't vote for it. I've seen parts of it, I know the basic premise of the story but I've never actually sat down and watched it start to finish.

    I also understand it's one of those movies that you have to watch a few times to really get it.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    Probably, but then you have to be interested enough by the first watch to force yourself to watch again.

    I just tied it up. But I will say that action films have been getting tons of love in the polls so far, so can't say I'm surprised.

    I couldn't even make it through Pulp Fiction one time (I find the title unintentionally ironic).

    I looked QT up on IMDB and apparently I haven't seen much of his work at all.

    While I hated Pulp Fiction, I liked Natural Born Killers and could tolerate Inglourious Basterds.

    Try Jackie Brown. Its Tarantino but not at his full Tarantino.

    It and part 2 of Kill Bill are my favorite Tarantino movies. I do like Pulp Fiction a lot though.

    A lot of people don't like Tarantino now that he's really popular. That always seems to happen. His films have gotten overhyped for many.

    He's a fantastic director. Plan and simply.

    I don't dislike him. I'm just not a huge fan of a lot of his movies other than Kill Bill 1 & 2.

    Reservoir Dogs was ok and Django Unchained was pretty good. The rest I've either never seen or have only seen parts of. The Hateful Eight and Pulp Fiction are on my list to watch eventually, but I'm in no hurry.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    I must have blocked it out of my memory, because I can't stand to imagine that possibility. Is it every Tarantino film?
