Notes: Pulp Fiction was Quentin Tarantino’s third directorial effort, following up on the success of Reservoir Dogs (which is loosely connected through characters and settings). The movie received an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and received six other Oscar nominations, including Best Actor (John Travolta), Best Supporting Actor (Samuel L. Jackson), and Best Actress (Uma Thurman). As typical with Tarantino movies, there’s a great soundtrack with classic songs mostly from the 60s and 70s, and a scene timeline that jumps back and forth.

Pulp Fiction is a mixed thread of four stories showing the lives of six people, at least four of whom are criminals. Their lives are tied together mostly by crime boss Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames), whose directives are the catalyst for most of the events. Like any Tarantino movie, it’s full of colorful characters and colorful dialog. There’s also a great dance sequence with Uma Thurman and John Travolta.
