Happened across this movie cruising PlutoTV. Haven't seen it it in years. It is sooooo funny! Yes, there is a lot of fruity language, but with one exception, there's nothing I haven't said trying to fix a car or do some soldering in an awkward place.

I came in fairly near the end just before the need for Mr Wolf's cleanup.

Travolta on being told to strip, "Is this really necessary?"

Mr Wolf, "What to do think you look like right now? You look like two guys who just blew somebody's head off."

Well, DUH!!! :D:D:D

The interplay between Travolta and Jackson is just outstanding.

A classic!

I can watch it hundreds of times and still be entertained. If I am channel surfing and stumble across it I stop and watch.

If you have never seen Jackie Brown, another Tarantino great, I would check it out. Another great cast and movie.

I am not a big movie fan but Pulp Fiction is my all time favorite.

So many classic lines and such an array of characters.

Great movie !
 
Me and my brothers laughed so hard at the overdose scene that people left the theatre. One of our all-time favorites. We would quote lines to each other. Almost died one day driving back from hunting in a deluge. As my brother tried to pilot the vehicle through a seemingly solid wall of rain, I looked over at him and said, "Does it rain like a bitch?!" So, we're travelling at 40 mph, can't see through the rain and now we are laughing so hard we can't see through the tears. Almost ran off the road.

My favorite scene
 
In Snatch, the opening sequence where the Hasidic diamond merchants walk talking about the correct translation of “the Virgin”, all on closed circuit cameras recalls Steve Buscemi’s riff in Reservoir Dogs on Madonna’s “Like a Virgin”.
Pulp Fiction deserved the Oscar that went to Forrest Gump. Better movie, more quotable lines
 
I saw the unfiltered version and thought the language was really over the top.

More recently, it came on the tube again and I found I had to turn it off. All the objectionable terms were replaced with kinder, gentler language. Most notably, substituting "my brother" instead of the much nastier term.

Gangsters talking like that makes the movie just silly. Whether Tarantino is a great artist I will leave for others to debate, but bowdlerizing the dialog completely ruins the film for me.
 
I've tried to watch that movie twice; it sucked both times. Maybe I'm missing something here, but with rare exception, Tarantino ruins what could have been a good film. Hateful Eight is another such loser (and I'm a Samuel Jackson fan).
 
I don't like all of Tarantino's stuff either, but I do like some of it a lot. Like Pulp Fiction. I also thought his Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was terrific. (I think maybe that one is generation specific in its appeal. For me, born in 1952, it was right on target.)

Another good Tarantino movie is Jackie Brown.
