Pulp Fiction vs Shawshank vs Forrest Gump

And I have no idea what people see in Pulp Fiction. Clever dialogue that I do not care if it is quotable or not.  I respect your opinion.

Usual Suspects > Shawshank > Gump

I'm passing on this ... I was, and still am, a huge watcher of Godard films, and PF, for me, is not fun, or entertaining at all, and is a fun thing for the TV bored American audiences. (In those days, "films" showed what a lot of TV never has shown, even today!) But, I will agree that this is me, and probably because I watch so much foreign film, to the point that only after reading Robert Altman on Robert Altman, have I begun to have an appreciation for his work ... I never had it for the most part, despite a lot of films being fun, but for me many of them felt like a joke and not a film at all ... it was, for all intents and purposes, the most "anti-film" of films for Robert Altman.

The other two are good films and Shawshank had outstanding acting, which really helped the film a lot, as did Forrest, however, Forrest is a sad film for me, because I lived during that time, and a lot of it was not exactly fun, and I suppose that the film wanted to have a nice laugh at those things, but many of them were not fun at all ... heck in the first lottery for the draft, my birthday came up #9. And a lot of other things in the film are sad for me ... and seeing the SF/LA area get ripped up by Aids in the 80's was something that I did not wish to see or remember ... we either were totally reckless or stupid. The film is more positive in that area, but still ... the sad memory remains, but the film deserves a lot of credit for its technical brilliance, which is the director's best ability, although the film has some serious acting chops. Tom Hanks is fine, although I think it was not smooth and he did not get better with it until later in the film ... I think he had issues with the script in the earlier going as there are a lot of moments that are hesitant, and not because of the character, I don't think. As a director, I would have cleaned that up some more, but that's seeing with a director's eyes, so please excuse me on that.

{Best double bill EVER ... Performance and Deep Throat (the real film) at UCSB midnight films!... another time it was Performance and The Rocky Horror Picture Show}

Wot he said.

Shawshank I guess.
