I loved this movie. There were moments when the dialogue was so witty and glowing that it was like Shakespeare at his finest. The actors were really able to get the tension of some scenes down well, for instance the hold up in the diner. And Samuel L Jackson's character's transformation was very interesting even if it didn't make a lot of sense. The script was incredible and some of the lines and scenes are just so memorable. This movie had style and feel to it, it's not something that's easily explained but it's the core of good art, which is what PF was.

I have to agree with the tension in the diner scene. I liked that bit, and thought it was well done. Samuel L Jackson's character, to me, didn't really seem to be a major part of the movie, like he was only present to give an opposite to Travolta. Travolta's character(Vincent, I think), I really didn't like. Can't say why, but I think its more the archetype that annoyed me. Struck me as a bit of a stupid jock. Bruce Willis's character was good, but seemed to be stuck in to take up time. It's like he just appears for a quarter of the movie, then leaves, with no real impact, except the death of Vincent, which was never really followed up.

I agree, but the minor characters were just great. The diner robbing couple was kind of cool and I loved captain watch-up-the-ass and Winston Wolf.

The movie was great. Like every movie I watch, save a couple, I had no idea what to expect when I tossed in the ole VCR.

Sam Jackson really played a great role, and I was suprised to see Travolta get gunned down. I did not expect that!

Every scene had a new tension to it, and they all were knitted beautifully together.

I must admit that I loved Wolf

I like that the evil doers get punished.

Thanks for ruining it for those who haven't seen it....in like, a year...

Anyway, Pulp Fiction stands as being one of my favourite movies of all time. Beyond all of the bits about suspense and characters, it has Phil LaMaar. How many movies have Phil LaMaar? Not many.

Hmm, its not that I didn't like it, its just that I don't think it deserves all the hype it got.

Perfectly understandable, Sime. It's not referred to as a "cult hit" for nothing. Not everybody gets as into it as some do.

Everythings been said already. I dig it. I dig Reservoid Dogs more, though (i was even going to devote a thread to it, sub-titled "My 'Groundhog Day' ", but i have neither the energy nor capacity to watch a movie and pick out and expound upon almost every scene).

Anyway, Pulp Fiction has one of the greatest introductions i've ever seen.

Tarantino's genius is that he dosn't theatricalize too much. Especially in dialogue. Some of the conversations in the movie could very well be every day sayings if people were in such situations and had sufficient whit to forge such things. It's completely believable. I havn't seen kill bill but the idea of a to do list containing the main plot for the movie is just brilliant.
