Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarantino

This Quentin Tarantino classic follows the lives of a couple of burger-loving hitmen (John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson), their boss’s wife (Uma Thurman), and a washed-up prizefighter (Bruce Willis). What follows is a tale of crime, coincidence, and calamity as each becomes caught in a web of seemingly unrelated events.

This funny, bizarre, and thrilling movie has cemented Tarantino’s name among the greats. With its winning formula of wit, humour, and shock factor, this nearly flawless film was rewarded repeat viewings for over 20. John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson’s strangely philosophical performances as two low-rent hitmen make this film an instant classic, with lines which are still often quoted to this day, such as “Le Royale with Cheese.”
