So one of my friends mentioned the other day that he had never seen Pulp Fiction. Everybody else in the room at the time immediately started talking about having a movie night to rectify that. And then we started talking about the greatest movies of all times. I haven't lived through all of time, but I think Pulp Fiction is definitely up there for best of last 20 years. So this is a blog post about Pulp Fiction. Almost everyone's seen this movie multiple times, but somehow, no one ever minds seeing it again.
What a bad mother fucker

Just admit it, you've tried to memorize the bible verse before.
A milkshake connoisseur. I thought everyone learned in 1st grade that you're not supposed to snort heroin
Medieval times, bitches.
How much to keep this guy on retainer?
A note on the "I'm getting Medieval on your ass" scene. I actually had a class in college (a real class with a real professor, not one of those decals you Berkeley people like to call classes) called "Getting Medieval." It was a music history class that looked into perceptions of what "medieval" means to people, amongst other things. Talk about pop culture influence. Pulp Fiction is timeless. It will elicit the same reactions from people who see is 15 years from now as it did back in 1994. It's the only movie I can think of that could be an audio book. Somehow, it's deep, shallow, stylized, raw, tragic, and humorous all at the same time. I can't see how there will never be a movie remotely like it ever again.
No one gives a damn about Marvin:

Poll: Is Pulp Fiction the greatest movie of the last 20 years?
(Vote): Yes
(Vote): No
Edit: Ok, just to make it more interesting: If you voted no, post ONE movie that you consider to be better than Pulp Fiction made in the same time period.

Time to add a new option to the poll: "One of the greatest".
|
Pulp Fiction is an awesome movie, but it did have its low points as much as it had its highs. I wouldn't go as far as saying it's the best movie since 1989 - there are a LOT of great 90's movies that I'm sure a lot of the younger TL people have not seen.

Yea what he said.
|
Everyone already knows it's one of the greatest. It's ok to vote no.
|
My favorite movie hands down.
|
Yep, I enjoyed Pulp Fiction but I don't think it's the 'greatest'. In fact, I don't think any movie is the 'greatest', at most I can list a few as my 'personal favourites' and even then it's pretty tough. I just can't subjectively pick an objective list!
|
refraise the poll to one of the greatest... not the greatest imo since you keep talking about how its one of the greatest not the greatest.
kick ass movie though

It's the reason the world got to know Samuel L. Jackson.
That alone is a great contribution to the world.
|
I think its an excellent movie but I always liked Reservoir Dogs better, imo that is Tarantinos best movie.
|
the greatest movie of the last 20 years? no certainly not (hello private ryan *cough*)
the greatest gangster film of the last 20 years? that would be a though one, but i'd say sin city (which is to me very similar to pulp fiction) is better
the greatest movie of 1994? no that would be shawshank redemption
but yeah, its a pretty fucking good movie. i dont know if its worth 5 dollars, but its pretty fucking good

I see what you did there.

I don't think it's a really good movie. It's OK.

"Tried"? Hah, kid, I DID memorize Ezekiel 25:17
It's one amazing movie, but I wouldn't call it the best movie of the last 20 years, but its definitely in the top... 10.
|

Shawshank Redemption
oh, i see i was beat to it, so, A Bronx Tale.

That's a fake quote in the movie, totally nonsense.
|
Awesome movie, but certainly not the best. As someone noted, Shawshank came out the same year, and that was great.
|
The only director that could be better than Tarintino is Kubrick imo
