Pulp Fiction (1994)
While the audience was still recuperating from the shock and awe of Reservoir Dogs two years earlier, Quentin Tarantino set the screen on fire with an all-star cast (John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth) brought together by intertwining four tales of violence and redemption featuring two mob hitmen, a boxer, a gangster’s wife and a pair of diner bandits. The postmodern masterpiece is more than good enough to win the Oscar for Best Picture.
