Pulp Fiction
What an amazing film. I have seen "Pulp Fiction" countless times and I doubt I could tell you the order in which scenes are presented to the viewer. The casting in this film is phenomenal (as you can see from the list above), and unlike other movies with superior casts it actually gives the actors something to work with. Perhaps my favorite aspect of this film is the dialogue. I love witty fast-paced conversations (hence my love for Kevin Smith movies) and this movie most certainly delivers.
The film is separated in three different stories that all blend together to form one dynamic plot. The first story involves John Travolta and Samuel L.

The third story involves Tim Roth and his wife robbing a restaraunt. One of the truly amazing parts of this story is how Tarentino weaves the plots of the three individual stories into one coherennt, amazing film.
If you enjoyed "Resevoir Dogs" I would definately reccomend that you see this film. Heck, even if you hated all of Tarentino's other movies, I would still reccomend that you see this one. It's a truly unique film in a day and age of generic Hollywood crap.
Well I hate to dissapoint everyone, but Quentin Tarentino himself has come straight out and said that there isn't supposed to be anything in the briefcase. It seems as if the briefcase is a classic example of Hitchcock's "McGuffin" at work. Hitchcock once explained that the McGuffin is anything that drives the plot, but doesn't need to be explained (the $40,000 in Psycho for example). Still, it is fun to speculate on what could have been in the briefcase and below is my favorite theory.
