That was so much fun!!! I love watching first time reactions to this movie! This movie was definitely influential to the film industry and pushed some movie making boundaries for sure. It was also a critical and commercial success and earned 7 Oscar nominations, including a best actor nomination for John Travolta, best supporting actor nomination for Samuel L. Jackson, and a best supporting actress nomination for Uma Thurman. Tarantino won the Oscar for best original screenplay and was nominated for best director and the film itself was nominated for best picture. Pulp Fiction wouldn’t be the last of Tarantino’s films to earn major awards, he has had multiple nominations and wins over the years for his writing & filmmaking. Samuel L. Jackson was famous prior to this movie, but this was the role that really launched him into the superstar stratosphere and cemented his persona as the coolest actor working in the business to this day! Tarantino had actually wrote the character of “Jules” with Jackson in mind, however the studio still made Jackson audition for the part. When Jackson showed up for the audition they mistook him for a different actor. The identity mixup made Jackson so mad that it helped him get more into character and nail the audition, proving that NO ONE else could ever be “Jules Winfield” except the man Tarantino had envisioned in the role from the beginning, the one, the only, the ultimate “Bad Mother Fucker”, Samuel L. Jackson! -Favorite Samuel L. Jackson movies: “A Time to Kill” (1996) “The Long Kiss Goodnight” (1996) this is a good one to watch for the Christmas/Holiday season. “The Negotiator” (1998) *my other favorite Sam Jackson movie is listed below under one of the other actors, I will let which movie be a surprise for when you guys get around to watching it 😉 -Favorite Bruce Willis movies: “Die Hard” (1988) “Color of Night”(1994) I prefer the unrated extended director’s cut of this movie. “12 Monkeys” (1995) “Die Hard with a Vengeance” (1995) this is the 3rd installment of the “Die Hard” franchise. -Favorite John Travolta movies: “Grease”(1978) “Look Who’s Talking” (1989) “Michael” (1996) “Face/Off”(1997)

An often forgotten Quentin Tarantino film is “Four Rooms” from 1995. Tarantino is actually one of four different directors that worked on this film. The movie is broken up into 4 separate short stories/films that all take place in one location on New Year’s Eve. Each story was written and directed by a different creator. The film got mixed reviews, but I have always enjoyed its talented stacked cast and quirky dark comedy. Might be worth a watch for New Year’s.

1994 was one of the best years for cinema in modern history no matter what your taste in movies was. Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, Shawshank Redemption, The Lion King, Clerks, Ace Ventura, Natural Born Killers, Speed, The Hudsucker Proxy… just an absolutely unmatched year maybe ever since. If you’re game to continue your Tarantino journey, I’d suggest Kill Bill (Vol 1 & 2) next - also with Uma Thurman, then Once Upon A Time In Hollywood with Brad Pitt and Leo, then Inglorious Basterds which is a great WWII movie (also w/ Pitt). If you watch Tarantino’s movies closely enough you’ll notice he LOVES one-takes, but they’re not showy. They’re simple and elegant and don’t distract from the story. I’m glad you liked Pulp. I was worried with the language it might not be up your alley.
