Solid 10/10. This is the movie that got me into movies. I've seen it 22 times and it hasn't gotten old. Who can get bored with the gimp and the anal raping!

The sodomy scene in it is just...woof.
I'll always remember Bruce Willis in the car and his character running over Marsellus Wallace.
Oh, and Captain Koons with him explaining the watch that was in somebody's rectum. Hilarious stuff.

7/10. I've only seen it twice and it was better the second time. I just found it to be very convoluted and weird just for the sake of being weird.
Maybe a third, fourth, fifth, sixth, etc. viewing would make me like it more.

Great movie, but not as good as Reservoir Dogs

Just rewatched it and I felt I just needed to post something about it. After all this time, it's still as good (probably even better) than the first time I watched it. Pulp Fiction is the definition of 'cool' and 'iconic'. It's without a doubt the most quotable movie imo. Every moment in Pulp Fiction is spectacular, you could place any random scene from Pulp Fiction in your top 10 of favorite scenes ever and I wouldn't disagree with you. The movie has grown on me a lot since my first viewing and I think it's currently in my top 5 of favorite movies.

Very stylistic - so it really stands out as a movie, in my view.
8/10

I guess I can add that for a 90's set film, it feels the most 'timely distant' in a good way. Some random 90's set movies like a Speed or Heat feel like they could exist today. Pulp Fiction makes the 90's seem even further ago than reality & I dig that.
Newcomers should realize that Pulp Fiction was such a new fresh angle for mass cinema of its time, akin a little to how Nirvana's Nevermind was for rock music. I know there are millennials for example who don't think much of Nirvana... which of course because they've been exposed to everything since, which for us in 1991 was not so.

I don't like the Travolta/Thurman* part that much...the rest is top notch, especially Samuel L. Jackson. No wonder that Tarantino cast him whenever he can.
*It's less Thurman's fault and she rocks in Kill Bill.

wow, whoever voted 1 star, I'm very curious as to why you disliked the movie? It was me. Sorry, but I hated everything about it. In the opening scene with Jules and Vincent, we have no idea what's going on, what Jules is ranting about, what those young men have done, etc. There are basically 3 stories. The first one is the only barely decent one, but really mediocre. Vincent takes out the girl he's guarding. They dance together like Adam West in the old Batman series. Girl almost overdoses, but Vincent saves her by jamming her chest with an adrenaline injection. ...What's so great about all this? The 2nd story with Bruce Willis I absolutely hated. The entire 3rd story is just about washing the blood off Vincent and Jules. The entire 3rd act. That's all that happens. Just Harvey Keitel trying to clean these guys up. Who do you even root for in the movie? The only likeable character was Vincent, and Tarentino kills him off halfway into the movie, not for some important part of the plot, but just for a cheap laugh (he's on the toilet). You're such a tit.

9/10 All of you: Leave movielover alone. A movie can't be liked by every single person. How would you feel if someone talked to you that way just because you don't like a classic?

I had too much other stuff going on in my life to watch this film the year it was released. I eventually got around to seeing a recording of it several years later. I liked it, but didn't understand why it had made such an explosive impact on the culture, especially with critics.
Watching it again now, I see that it is an extremely well-crafted film. Among the best.
There are a few issues, however.
First of all, Tarantino cannot act. All of the other actors do great jobs. His performance would never have gotten past a casting director if he'd been auditioning for the role and not been the director.
Second, I could swear that in the scene after Jackson's and Travolta's characters shoot up the guy in the apartment and the guy who looks like Jerry Seinfeld (Alexis Arquette) bursts into the room unexpectedly and empties his own gun, then the guys turn around and marvel at the gunshot holes in the wall behind them, even before that guy comes into the room you can see gunshot holes in the wall already. Am I imagining this, or did they really F up the continuity? (Or maybe Tarantino was playing with the audience?)
Third, there are a bunch of elements that are painful to watch. A lot of the humor in the racism, implied homophobia ("Would you give a man a foot massage?"; the whole "male rape" sequence), and implied domestic violence (the boxer seems so loving, almost the ideal boyfriend/husband, but suddenly and violently turns almost ready to smash his partner's head in when she upsets him) looks very different, I think, today (with producer Harvey Weinstein in prison after conviction for sexual assault and rape) than when the film was released in the mid-90s.
9/10
