Roger Avery got a bit ripped off when 100% of the credit went to Quentin!

Not really Avery got his oscar and is known to have co-wrote PF. The term co-wrote is possibly to strong of a word however, as Avery only contributed around 10-15% and thats being generous(The gold watch sence and The accidental shooting of Marvin (not a scence but a action) As is the misfire on Jules and Vincent..)

Pulp Fiction is told in pieces that are out of order, it would therefore never make sense to watch it in pieces. It definitely needs to be watched from beginning to end.

I agree with Ren, though - Reservoir Dogs is my favorite QT movie.

I love the flick, but it is overrated. I was amazed by it in 05 when i was in 8th grade, it's sharply written and directed. But it's not like one of the most amazeball movies i have ever seen by nay means lol.

Besides jackie Brown is my fav Tarantino flick.

I love Pulp Fiction! Reservoir Dogs and The Kill Bill's are in the same class. I'd go as far to say that it's one of the "greats"!

Whenever you say that you can't, that's when you need to be trying.

Reservoir Dogs is my favorite Tarantino movie. Pulp Fiction is good, if a little overrated. It shouldn't have lost that Oscar for Best Picture to Forrest Gump.

It should've lost it to The Shawshank Redemption, of course. nod

YES! But it's a guy's movie. I'm not surprised chicks don't dig it.

But if you are a guy, then this movie is MUST-SEE.

I'm a girl... and I LOVE this movie... probably in my Top 10 or 15...

And for those who think it's over the top, you might want to avoid any additional QT movies, as that seems to be his mission in life, IMHO.

Pulp Fiction is a classic (IMO) because the timeline of all 4 segments were out of order. This filmmaking gimmick made Quinton a freaking genius.

Yes, I said it!

I don't know what "it's a guy's movie" is supposed to mean...

But Pulp Fiction is an amazing movie. People like it for different reasons. It's one of those films that can come across as scattered and confusing to some people, but it actually works perfectly well in its own context which is why its audience is so varied.

Other good movies like Pulp Fiction:

Reservoir Dogs

Goodfellas

Kill Bill 1+2

Sin City

Kung Fu Hustle

Incredible movie.

The defining cinematic work of Postmodernism imo. Its use of devices such as flashback, flashforward and intertextual allusion were pretty sweet for a film in the mainstream of popular culture.

Jackie Brown was a step down if still very watchable, but I've never been able to sit through more the 30 minutes of any later Tarantino.

Have you seen L.A. Confidential? If yes, what did you think?

Never seen it. Hope to though as I like Russell Crowe, or I did before I saw Robin Hood.

I haven't seen LA Confidential since it was released, but I remember it being excellent.

Isn't "LA Confidential" a much more old fashioned formal period piece with a linear police murder mystery plot? Completely different kind of film? I liked LA Confidential a lot, but it's a whole different thing. One movie is like having lunch high on weed at a Subway with intellectual violence-repressed overgrown movie nerds, and the other is like having a dinner with a rich grandma in her upscale 1940's bungalow home, a grandma that used to be a "modern woman" who divorced her husband.
