Watchability: 5
Own this. The only reason we don't is because it fell casualty to the great VHS - DVD switch of 2004.
Family Guy: 5+
Not only are there multiple references to actors in this film but it has been the basis of entire scenes and episodes either in Family Guy or related shows like the Simpsons and our new favorite, The Cleveland Show.

Props to the first person who comments Kathie Griffin's role in Pulp Fiction!
Relevance: 5
The planned randomness of this movie was groundbreaking but after 17 years you don't have to reference its time period nor its significant style to truly enjoy this film. The all-star cast and superb script create an entertaining look into the mundaneness of criminals through the characters' interactions with each other and "normal" conversations.
This film is great because it created a new way for movies to be made, is extremely quotable and STILL maintains the ultimate watchability through humor, suspense and overall entertainment value. There is one long scene Wifey has to leave the room for (she can't handle torture or anything close) but Pulp Fiction is still one of her favorite films of all time. Hubby had to watch this the second time with his MOM which you can imagine was pretty uncomfortable but we predict its longevity will continue far into the future.
Pulp Fiction should be WAY higher on the list and we've decided to reference what the revised list should be at some point throughout our blog so stay tuned.
The path of the righteous blogger is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.
ReplyDeletedie! unfortunately i can't of any real quotes from pulp fiction. so I'm guessing, I guess.
ReplyDelete1994 was just a great year for movies, I guess. Pulp Fiction obviously should have won for best picture but Forrest Gump took the prize. But to think they were up against the overplayed yet everstrong Shawshank showed the year's power. PF is truly one of the best of all time but I disagree when people say it was the best of the decade. That honor goes to the previous year's Schindler's List, hands down. As for the movie at hand, every moment contains sparks of brilliance, like when we the audience are waiting on Jules and Vincents' conversation before they get the case, the camera is also waiting on them to finish.
ReplyDeleteLet me add that Kathie Griffin witnessed Butch hit Marcellus Wallace.
