It feels so obvious to talk about Pulp Fiction. But the 1994 movie is too good to leave out. Should I ignore touchstone movies here? I think not. Here's the top 10 things I love best about this movie. 1: Its back-and-forth, non-linear time sequence. 2: Terrific discussion about foot massages. 3: Getting medieval. 4: The unbelievably great watch speech. 5: Ezekiel 25:17. 6: The dance contest. 7: The Wolf. 8: A big needle injection into the heart. 9: The genius of Quentin Tarantino. 10: Every actor in the film, including John Travlota, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Ving Rhames, Bruce Willis and Christopher Walken. I could list another 10, but that would be overkill. This is a shocking, beautiful, brilliant work of art. And the music rocks, too. Damn! "Now, you've got a corpse in a car, minus a head, in a garage. Take me to it."Recent Posts
