Explanation:

Since its release in 1994, Pulp fiction has become one of the most popular films in history. In Total Film it is listed as the forty-ninth best film of all time, and has reached number five on I.M.DB's list of most popular films. It is widely considered Tarantino's best film, for which he won the big treble (Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe) in writing.  

The films genre is classified as a crime/drama in official terms, but most who have seen Pulp Fiction consider it to be an amalgamation of different genres. It is predominately a 'gangster' style of film, but its unique narrative gives it elements of comedy, action and thrill. 

The film is a classic example of a multi-story narrative, following the stories of different characters and how in some way all of their lives cross paths. It predominately follows a crime boss, his wife and his two employee's, a husband-wife robbery team and a boxer on the run for refusing to throw a match - story lines that each inter lap at different points throughout the film, keeping you totally submerged in the films narrative and characters. 

Pulp Fiction is arguably one of the most entertaining films of all time, and a film that will be remembered for years to come.
