I got goosebumps watching it last week, even though I feel like I know every line and frame. I think Quentin Tarantino's a superb dialogue writer and his movie knowledge enables him to target the very best actors for the job, regardless of their standing, or current box-office potential. He also has a huge chip on his shoulder, which probably helps if you want to reach the very top of your chosen profession (or QT's case his profession chose him).
It's a bumpy ride, as it should be, yet a rare film that earns' the title "iconic".

I won't be coy, for me, every single second of screen time spent with Sam Jackson and John Travolta is golden, they're the characters that take me for a ride. But I enjoy the move in general, its construction is so audacious, and it presents the kind of character panorama I recognise from real life.

There's something aged looking about it that seems to place it some magical 90's alternate universe.

The finest film of the 90's, which was a pretty damn good decade for film.
There are robberies, and then there are "Pulp Fiction doesn't get Best Picture" robberies.

They were also quick to point out when they enjoyed someone's coffee, that's pretty nice. |

I think it was a couple week ago that I caught part of an edited version on TV. I started to watch it when Butch went back to his house for the watch. The edited version cut out The Gimp from the movie. After Marvin's head was shot, the next scene cut straight to Jimmie's house and edit out the panic between Vincent and Jules. I did not like the edit, but it doesn't matter much since I have the movie and I might have watched it a 1000 times. One of my favorite all time, thought provoking dialogue, one great scene after another, and very cool music. I personally find Butch's story the most interesting story of all the character, but my favorite scene is final restaurant scene, which had some of the most deep lines. Despite all the vulgarities and violence, this is one of the most pro-Faith movies.
Edit: I forgot to mention that the movie has a lots of great humor.

Iconic 90s film, caught it twice at the cinema on initial release and probably 2 or 3 times since. Has been a good ten years since I've seen it, but sure it still holds up. I do slightly prefer Reservoir Dogs though.

The cinematography is nice but that’s about all. I find it to be extremely tacky and ultimately very superficial. I too know every line as I loved it as a kid, so it’s not like I never appreciated it.
I’m sorry to be a contrarian but it’s only Tarantino and Kevin Smith who I voice my objections to so strongly.

Tarantino's magnum opus. A timeless classic.
He peaked with this movie, IMO.

Pulp Fiction has left quite an impact on cinema, and it still holds up today. A timeless classic.

It's been in my top five faves for about 2 decades now. Not many films can match it's charm.

It looks like a weird 90s version of the 70s or something.

Haven’t watched it in years, but I’ve always just liked it as opposed to loving it.
