I love these 2 CDs! It comes with an interview w/Quentin Tarantino about the music he uses and it's really funny. I love all the surf music in Pulp Fiction, Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon, Son of A Preacher Man, and You Never Can Tell. The Reservoir Dogs CD is just as good. I like Coconut, Little Green Bag, and Stuck In The Middle. They're all great songs, and all the dialouge in the CDs ads to the soundtrack.. it's just as good as the movies.. which I own, too. I reccoment the CD . . .

I really love this collection (my oldest brother has it) and it just rules. I prefer the Reservoir Dogs over the Pulp Fiction, but I'll do a sdtk by sdtk review. Pulp Fiction: Ok, but a little too many surfer songs. Most of the songs work on a nostalgic value, not really a listenable value. The way overplayed theme song is obnoxiously present, but a few good ones are here. Most noticeably Chuck Berry's "you never can tell" and "jungle boogie". The dialouge is really good, from the zed's dead to the ezekiel 25: 17. Reservoir Dogs: The better of the two, even though there is only eight real songs. Almost every single song is good. Little Green Bag is an excellent track-it captures the spirit of RD. I Gotcha is a real surprise good one, because it really grew on me. Coconut is the goofy one, but surprisingly listenable. Magic Carpet Ride is probably a little weak, as is track nine I think. Stuck in the Middle With You is surprisingly listenable, same thing for Hooked on the Feeling. As dialoguem goes, the "lets get a taco" is good, as is the madonna speech. As a juvenile youngster I'd used to see how much I get through with that Madonna Speech before someone yelled at me. Ha! Anywho, these are two very good soundtracks, but if you're short on money, buy the Reservoir Dogs instead.

Tarantino obviously loves music, as is evident in all of his wonderful movies. And the soundtracks for the good ones (Pulp Fiction, Resevoir Dogs, Jackie Brown) are all top notch. The fact that clips from the movies are included is not only a bonus, but a testament to the fact that the real genius behind theses movies is their great scripts and crisp dialogue. I happen to prefer the Pulp Fiction soundtrack over the Resevoir Dogs one, but they are both very good.

Note: The soundtrack to Jackie Brown should also not be overlooked. It is as good if not better than either of these.

I'm a big Quentin Tarantino fan and love the music choices in his films. They are often old time classics or fun tunes from the past, and really add flavor and zip to his films. The soundtrack combo is wonderful and all my coworkers love it, too!

Two of the very best "atomosphere" records out there. Think vacation or the holidays and you are hanging out with friends or family. Perfect. Great music - - guaranteed to get toes tapping, and most likely: spark the urge to dance.

Pour some cocktails, put on the records, and enjoy.

This collection is beautifully put together. Mr. Tarantino set this whole thing up to capture the true spirit of both movies. If you're a fan buy these cd's. now.

Quentin Tarentino is The man!!!!!!!!!!
