I know ours is a horror forum, but this is one of those eternal classics which made a very, very deep impact on me and dozens of genre lovers of my time. And I know at least 50% of you folks love
Pulp Fiction to bits as well. Why won't you, because arguably, Tarantino's masterpiece is the single most influential film made in the past 40-50 years.
On May 23 1994, an unique film called
Pulp Fiction won the Palme D'or at the Cannes film festival. And that started it's journey to it's cult status.
Whether it be the ass-kicking pre-opening credits sequence ("pumpkin", "honey bunny") which cuts to that extremely tappy
Miserlou music, Travolta & Thurman's Twist-ing moves on the dance floor, Samuel L.'s Ezekiel misquote and
Hulk-esque anger behind his words, the Katana, the red herring briefcase, the "mistake" which blows someone's brains out, Willis and Keitel sharing some really sharp and witty lines between them, the completely wonky screenplay which defied traditional pacing, Tarantino's brilliantly witty directional skills,
Pulp Fiction is an undeniable milestone in contemporary cinema. It remains unparalleled to this day, and even Tarantino himself would admit this with a passion - he cannot surpass
Pulp Fiction himself!
To have a glimpse of how witty the screenplay is, just go through these quotes from the film (those who have seen it will feel nostalgic) -

In fact, none of his subsequent films caught the same delirious craziness of this cult classic. I dare say, none will.
BTW, do you speak English?
ENGLISH, MOTHERF***ER! DO YOU SPEAK IT?!
