Pulp Fiction currently dominates Django Unchained 81–19
Tarantino's defining film routs his revisionist western.
The Verdict Decade Duel
This matchup has 16 votes — still early. The picture may shift as more people weigh in.
The Ezekiel speech — Jackson's voice filling a room with the cadence of a preacher about to execute someone, the words not from the Bible but sounding more biblical than anything that is — sits at the center of why Pulp Fiction dominates nearly everything it faces in brackets. The film contains five or six scenes of equivalent iconic force arranged in an order that makes each one more surprising than the last. Django has DiCaprio's Candie and the Mandingo-fighting plantation, both memorable. But Pulp Fiction's density of memorable scenes per minute is unmatched in Tarantino's filmography. The gap reflects that density. More quotable moments means more reasons to vote.
