My Favourite Movies: 3. Pulp Fiction

The early 90's was a boom time for great movies, and Quentin Tarantino's  ' Pulp Fiction, was no exception.
 From the moment that Amanda Plummer & Tim Roth, robbed a Diner, and we hear the raunchy guitar riffs of Dick Dale's 'Miserlou, we know only too well, we're in for a great ride.
  With a Tarantino movie, the unexpected usually happens, so that keeps you on the edge of your seat, whilst you concentrating on not choking on your Popcorn.
  The cast which is made up of some of the best actors of that era, from Brit Tim Roth, who is usually a villain is well cast as Ringo, along with his partner Yolanda (Amanda Plummer), who pull of the Diner heist.
  John Travolta in one of his finest performances to date, plays Vincent Vega, is seen with his partner in crime Jules ( Samuel L. Jackson ), and they have some memorable discussions on topics such as McDonald's, when they're not killing someone.
  One thing that is typical of all of Tarantino's movies, is the fantastic Soundtracks, usually compiled from his own collection. The music selections are a gift to the movie, as they fit like a glove to whatever scene there in. My favourite song is a remake of  Neil Diamond's 'Girl You'll Be A Women Soon' by Urge Overkill, This to me is the best remake of any modern classic.
 My favourite scene in the movie is when Vincent and his girl Mia Wallace ( Uma Thurman ),  compete in  Twist contest, held in the local Nightclub 'Jackrabbit Slims ', the host looks and sounds like Ed Sullivan. The song they dance to is Chuck Berry's 'You Never Can Tell.' I also liked Jackson's Fire & Brimstone rendition of Ezekiel  25 verse 17, it would send chills through a heathen.
