Twenty years to the day since it's US release. The UK première came a week later.

A modern classic if ever there was one with so many memorable scenes. The final scene still blows me away:

 






Still remember the day, Saw an afternoon showing in that one in west st. Me and mrs Doc had a lunchtime session including one In Yates where the bar man knocked my pint over while passing it to me covering mrs Doc in said Lager!

About 3 or 4 couples walked out during the first half hour, got to admit, I found it hard going the first time and had to have a second look. Seen it about 50 times.

The entire verse of Ezekiel 25:17 (as per the King James Bible) is "And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them..."

The rest of it is Quentin Tarantino's work.

Along with The Wicker Man and For a Few Dollars More, Pulp Fiction is the best film ever; fantastic characters, brilliant dialogue, great soundtrack, and really dark, dry, humour. Samuel L. Jackson was absolutely superb as Jules - one of the coolest characters ever in a movie.

At the risk of following the heard, I concur - great film.

Surely every self-respecting Tarantino fan knows that :thumbsup:

In fact it wasn't just the Bible he lifted it from, the version delivered in Pulp Fiction is almost word for word from Karate Kiba, a 1973 Japanese martial arts film, which had the quote placed at the start of the US release.

I'm not particularly a Tarantino fan.

It was in another YouTube clip which was advertised at the end of the one posted above.

In my opinion, it is the greatest film by the greatest director of all time. How such a nerd can make films that are so cool(Death Proof being the exception) is astounding.

Fantastic film. Went with my then girlfriend and some other mates to see it at Brighton Marina, before I even lived in Brighton. Very good memories of the film and the night.

Out of the hundreds of films I've rated on IMDB (movie geek) - this is one of 5 that got 10/10.

Absolute genius, cinematic perfection for that genre.

Out of interest, what are the other four?

This has come up before, and I'm kind of embarrassed by them because they are so stereotypical but:

Shawshank Redemption - Can't argue with that, sublime.
Fight Club - Must watch this, looking forward to it.
The Shining - Again, an exceptional piece of film-making.
Reservoir Dogs - Pulp Fiction only tops this by an ant's leg.
2001 - Its good, but never a 10 for me.

My thoughts :thumbsup:

Nothing to be ashamed about in liking the greats!
