Considering Reservoir Dogs is one of my favorite movies ever, this was no contest for me. I've never heard the word used so artfully--and awesomely (except maybe some derivatives in comedy movies).

Was there some unknown problem with Pulp Fiction and it's close to 300 uses of the said word? Or is it just me?

What do you mean by an "unknown problem"?? If you are asking why Pulp Fiction didn't make the poll I can kind of go through my procedure for picking. I found this link on wikipedia first of all:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_that_most_frequently_use_the_word_%22fuck%22
According to that link Pulp Fiction uses the word a notable 265 times. But I was looking at movies that used the word the most frequently rather than the most overall. So although the film uses the word nearly as many times as the other movies listed, it has an over 2 and a half hour running time which is fairly long, so the number of uses per minute is 1.72 which doesn't quite measure up to the other films on the list.
Some other notable films that actually use the word more requently than Pulp Fiction:
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back Menace II Society Casino Summer of Sam The Big Lebowski The Boondock Saints Goodfellas Spun True Romance (another penned by Tarantino) American History X The Blair Witch Project Bad Santa

It probably isn't right to vote when you've only seen one of the films in the list, but I did anyway. Reservoir Dogs. Just because I liked it so much, in kind of a horrified way. But all of Tarantino's films (that I've seen) have that effect.
Context and good (believable) writing are all, I suppose, when it comes to the response that the f-word in films evokes. So sometimes I hardly notice its use, and other times it's jarring. Or it becomes a bore from the sense that it's being used deliberately to shock or be funny. And so forth.

Do we all know the story of the Roman Empire and Nero playing his fiddle as Roman burned?
