I love movies, always have, always will. I love good movies even more! So, I decided it was time to make sure I've seen what's commonly accepted as the 100 greatest, as decided by the AFI. Some of the movies on the list I've seen a million times, some I've seen maybe once when I was little. With the help of my streaming subscription to Netflix, and getting my little red envelopes in the mail too, I will definitely conquer this list - and I can't wait! Please feel free to watch along or add comments about your movies as I watch them! Get the popcorn and milkduds ready!

#94 Pulp Fiction

Starring: Bruce Willis, John Travolta, Samuel L Jackson, Uma Thurman (with so many more- Tim Roth, Harvey Keitel, Amanda Plummer, Eric Stoltz, Ving Rhames, Rosanna Arquette...)

Written and Directed by Quentin Tarantino

I haven't seen this movie in a while and I forgot how great it is - I would watch this movie simply for the first 2 scenes alone! (The rest of the movie is fantastic, but the first 2 scenes are classic. )  Quentin Tarantino seems to have first scenes down pat (see: Inglorious Basterds.)
Scene one - Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer in the diner.  The dialogue is perfect.
Scene two - Samuel L and John Travolta in the car and then at the apartment. Samuel L Jackson is insanely terrifying and perfect in his delivery of this scene. "Allow me to retort!" and "Say WHAT again" - are you kidding?! Awesome.

The rest of the movie is fantastic in it's backwards and mixed up, puzzle-like delivery. You have to kind of figure out where in the timeline you are in the movie, but that's all part of the fun!
