Pulp Fiction

Strong Contender Wins well above average
1994 · Thriller, Crime · Quentin Tarantino

54% across 483 head-to-head matchups puts Pulp Fiction comfortably above average — not untouchable, but better than the vast majority of films it faces. Tarantino's cultural grenade still detonates thirty years later. Its swagger — the music, the monologues, the cool — gives it a presence on a ballot that most opponents simply can't match. Voters pick in 1.7s on average — well under the 3.5s platform norm.

Synopsis

A burger-loving hit man, his philosophical partner, a drug-addled gangster's moll and a washed-up boxer converge in this sprawling, comedic crime caper. Their adventures unfurl in three stories that ingeniously trip back and forth in time.

49% to 62% to 57%. The consistency is the story — Pulp Fiction doesn't need a strong round to carry a weak one. It carries them all.

Pulp Fiction owns The Shawshank Redemption at 100% but Titanic flips the script entirely: just 15%.

Quote-Off: The Most Quotable Movie of All Time is Pulp Fiction's bracket: it clears the early rounds consistently but meets its ceiling in the final against The Godfather (22%).

#3 of 8 in Quentin Tarantino's filmography. Inglourious Basterds sets the pace at 61%, but Pulp Fiction is competitive with the top of the catalog.
