| Pulp Fiction
Description: Quentin Tarantino's blockbuster follow-up to RESERVOIR DOGS is a breathtaking tribute to old dime store novels about small time hoods and dangerous criminals. It features deftly woven plotlines, creating a mythic Los Angeles underworld of drug dealers, molls, affable hitmen, restaurant-robbing lovers, and a boxer out to scam the mob on his last professional bout. This is the film that put Travolta back on the map as a major box-office draw in the 90's and officially established Samuel L. Jackson

A consumate storyteller
Pulp Fiction is now a classic. It is the most satisfying of Tarrantino's movies as he artfully weaves together a compelling set of stories into a riveting film. This film also saw the welcome return of John Travolta as a very hip hitman. But, what distanced this movie from other "art house" action movies was Tarrantino's consumate skills as a storyteller. "The Watch" was a wonderful piece, woven seamlessly into Bruce Willis' memorable role as the boxer.
Unfortunately, Tarrantino has not been able to match this effort in subsequent movies. Pulp Fiction may go down as the Citizen Kane of the "thrill kill" generation. It brings together a great ensemble of actors playing their roles to the hilt. Samuel L. Jackson is fantastic as the Ecclesiastics-driven killer. Tarrantino may have made this look like an off-hand effort but there are few throw-away lines in this movie. He ties all his stories together with a keen eye for social commentary. He has given a strange and even beautiful meaning to the chaotic world of violence we now find ourselves associated with, a definite notch about the Peckinpah-inspired violence of Reservoir Dogs.
The Most Fun You'll Have Watching A Movie!!
From the beginning five minutes of two people planning on holding up a diner, you know you're in for some fun. This is Pulp Fiction, Quentin Tarantino's undisputed masterpiece. Simply put, a genius rollercoast ride from beginning to end. With a large list of stars, including Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Bruce Willis and Uma Thurman in some of their greatest performances to date.
The movie is broken up into three stories, all revolving around two hitmen (Jackson, Travolta), a mob boss's wife (Thurman), a boxer planing on retiring (Willis), and a mysterious breifcase, this fast paced film is probably one of the greatest action films EVER. The dialogue is what you would expect from Tarantino, with plenty of funny but memorable lines that you will remember forever.
With a die-hard cast, a chaotic but focused storyline, and an unbelievable soundtrack, including the classic "Miserlou" by Dick Dale and the Del-Tones, this film is definately Tarantino's funniest, most violent, and most fun romp to date, and one of the top ten greatest films ever! See it and you will not regret it.
Quentin Tarantino's best before Kill Bill
This classic by Quentin Tarantino was the first ultra-violent movie and it was fantastically well executed. An American Independent movie at its best.
