Pulp Fiction

No, even after watching it several times, I just couldn't change the title of this film. The individual stories and scenes are so meticulously crafted that it's unbelievable this was made by someone who had only one film under their belt. The dialogue is impeccable, and acting-wise, Tarantino got exactly what he needed out of everyone. He is truly a master at making every scene perfect, and there is something breathtaking to be found in every scene. (2015-12-17)

I can't figure out why, but other great movies can be characterized by words such as brilliant, perfect or fantastic. But when you say the word CULT, only two things come to my mind: Star Wars, and most importantly Pulp Fiction. A cult movie which has everything: cult scenes, lines, characters, the whole package. Plus, it was made by the most original director in Hollywood. (2013-03-25)

A handsome and sexy definition of pulp poetics that said everything it had to say, and also everything it could say. All plagiarism is just a useless repetition of the same thing - this is literally a biblically bloated folio. It was definitely Tarantino who popularized the atypical narrative form and brought into play all the declining pop-cultural emblems and mechanisms that until then had somehow remained on the fringes of generally accepted culture. The only flaw in the beauty of the Pulp Fiction poetics is that they go completely beyond me. But definitely Tarantino's best film. (2006-11-27)

I first saw it in the cinema at the Czech premiere, when nobody had heard of Pulp Fiction and the name Tarantino was unknown. My friend and I walked out of the cinema and I was overjoyed to have seen something original again after a long time. My friend looked puzzled and told me he had to let it soak in overnight, he didn't know what to do. The next morning he came running to my room (in the college dorm) and excitedly announced: "Dude, it's been going through my head. It was awesome!” He ran to everyone he knew and recommended it to them and went back every day for the rest of the week with an ever growing crowd of curious people. They wrote lines from the film on pieces of paper and taped them to their walls – maybe that’s also how a cult classic is born. I really don’t know why I’m writing this, but Pulp Fiction is in my TOP 10 and I felt an almost moral obligation to say something without being repetitive. This film is like a refreshing spring in the middle of a desert of uniformity and deserves only words of praise. (2003-04-13)

As far as I remember, Pulp Fiction was the first Tarantino film I ever saw, and it was love at first sight. An excellent film with an incredible number of great lines, a perfect cast, and an amazing plot. It's simply a film that grabs my attention right from the opening scene and doesn’t let go until the closing credits. Even now that I know exactly what's going to happen and when, and how it’s all going to end. A real treat! (2016-08-01)
