I’m trying real hard to be the shepard… It’s the Number One movie on my top 50 list!
Pulp Fiction (1994)
My favorite movie, Quentin Tarantino’s opus. He struck gold in his sophomore effort if you ask me. I don’t need to defend why this is my favorite movie, if you have seen it then you know why. Quentin brought us a fresh take on storytelling, that now yes has been exhausted, but at the time doing out of order sequences that let us know what we needed to at the time was brilliant. It’s fun to go back and figure out what came before what, and find plot threads between all of the stories going on. I also loved how he opened each chapter with a title, making each sequence feel like it’s own short story. The characters of Jules, Vincent, Butch, Mia, Marsellus, Ringo and The WOLF were all just brilliant and well performed. It would be very hard for me to pick my favorite sequence in this film, but I would probably have to say the final scene in the diner which I depicted here in my sketch. Where a bad guy crosses another bad guy. The dialogue in this scene is just so tangible I could touch it. Seeing a BMF take a righteous path over killing him is such a great direction that you don’t expect.
So yes, Pulp Fiction, I have seen this movie about 100 times, and I will never tire of it. I have had it in my collection since 1996 on VHS and it always will be.
