'Pulp Fiction'

I don't know if there's a film out there that I enjoy more than Pulp Fiction. So much so that I can't believe that I don't own it.

Over time, "they" will continue adding films to the 1,001 list as more and more must-watch films are released.

It will take 100 years before they ever consider pulling Pulp Fiction off the list. It's almost a perfect movie. It has some star power. The writing is brilliant. The acting is good. It's bloody, funny, jaw-dropping, quotable and overall well done and all within any 10-minute segment of the film of your choosing. It's all good throughout.

Pulp Fiction is also the magnum opus for director Quentin Tarintino. He's made some great films since and in his lifetime he'll probably make a dozen more, but none will truly live up to Pulp Fiction. It's his master work.

It also proved to be stand-out performances for John Travolta and Samuel Jackson.

Travolta was stuck doing the Look Who's Talking series. His career arc is odd. He was doing Grease and Saturday Night Fever before he was on Welcome Back, Kotter.

Following the end of his TV career, he dawdled around doing insignficant work until Tarantino put him in Pulp Fiction and gave him a fantastic role that the guy nailed. Since, he's done shit, but that's beside the point. Pulp Fiction allowed him to do the shit.

Jackson was a nobody before Pulp Fiction. No way Jackson is ever being parodied by Dave Chappelle or in the new Star Wars movies without Tarantino. He's frankly never been better than he was as Jules. Jackson owes Tarantino big, and that's probably why you see or hear Jackson in every film the guy directs.
