Best Movie Ever, here's why...

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2006)

This is my all-time favorite movie, and it's hard for a guy who watches as many movies as me to even have an all-time favorite. Quentin Tarantino created this film at a time when movies were so stale, it made me sick. Other big hit movies of 1994: Homeward Bound, House Party 3, Ernest Goes to School, and Cherry Poppers 3-6. Yeah, OK, the porns weren't really hits and neither was House Party 3, but you get the picture I hope. Movies sucked in '94. Until Pulp Fiction.
I begged my mom to take me to see it in theater, me being the tender age of 12 still when it came out. She wouldn't let me go until she saw it first. After she saw it, she told me to never see it. This only piqued my interest more. After all, my mom had let me rent Jason Goes to Hell. So, sadly I had to wait for video release to see the movie. I went down to Jim's Market, and yes, it's actually called that. I grew up in a town of less than 200. Our video store had 1 copy of every movie, and it was always in. Even Star Wars Episode 1, the day after it came out. I went down to the store, got the film (They really didn't care about ratings and kids in this small town), snuck it home, and watched it in my room while my mom played bridge with her friends. I was blown away. This movie is the movie that made me start to really appreciate cinema. This movie, made me look at all the little details that make a movie good.
From his choice of actors to the soundtrack to the story presentation and amazing cinematography, this movie is as close to perfect as a movie gets. I have watched the film over 100 times easily, and it never really gets old for me. Totally worth getting grounded for a week when my mom caught me slipping the video into my school bag to take back to the video store.
