Best Movie in the last 20 Years?

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2014)

Since "Pulp Fiction" was released in 1994, there has arguably not been a better film made. It is one of the best films I've ever seen. It's rating of a 9.0 is well-deserved on IMDb. Without spoiling anything, I'll try to keep this concise. It has some of the greatest acting, dialogue, and direction you'll ever see in a film. Some people complain about its length, but I was entertained the whole way and the viewing went by quickly. (At the end you'll be begging for more!) I've seen several films from director Tarantino, and this is probably his best work, though "Reservoir Dogs" comes close. The movie is mostly a character/dialogue movie with interesting twists, but it includes top-notch action and violence every so often, adding to the entertainment value. Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Uma Thurman, and Bruce Willis give some of the best performances in their careers. Other notable performances include Christopher Walken, Tim Roth, and Ving Rhames, with much smaller roles. The movie redefined cinema and has been replicated since, but never duplicated. The storytelling was through multiple characters and their different stories and experiences intertwine into a big cluster of madness and excitement. Also, the story is not told in a linear fashion. Many memorable scenes and quotes are also contained in this film. Many things have been said about this masterpiece by others so I'll leave it at that.
