Pulp Fiction changed the way Hollywood/movie industry looked at Indie films.

Its impact on Hollywood was deeper still. According to Variety, the trajectory of Pulp Fiction from Cannes launch to commercial smash "forever altered the game" of so-called independent cinema.[121] It "cemented Miramax's place as the reigning indie superpower",[1] writes Biskind. "Pulp became the Star Wars of independents, exploding expectations for what an indie film could do at the box office."[122] The film's large financial return on its small budget transform[ed] the industry's attitude toward the lowly indies, spawning a flock of me-too classics divisions. S]mart studio executives suddenly woke up to the fact that grosses and market share, which got all the press, were not the same as profits. Once the studios realized that they could exploit the economies of (small) scale, they more or less gave up buying or remaking the films themselves, and either bought the distributors, as Disney had Miramax, or started their own...copy[ing] Miramax's marketing and distribution strategies.[123]

In 2001, Variety, noting the increasing number of actors switching back and forth between expensive studio films and low-budget independent or indie-style projects, suggested that the "watershed moment for movie stars" came with the decision by Willis—one of Hollywood's highest-paid performers—to appear in Pulp Fiction.[124]

And its impact was even broader than that. It has been described as a "major cultural event", an "international phenomenon" that influenced television, music, literature, and advertising.[118][125] Not long after its release, it was identified as a significant focus of attention within the growing community of Internet users.[126] Adding Pulp Fiction to his roster of "Great Movies" in 2001, Roger Ebert called it "the most influential film of the decade".[127] Four years later, Time's Corliss wrote much the same: "(unquestionably) the most influential American movie of the 90s".[128]


Pulp Fiction made a bigger impact that Forrest Gump.

And I would watch Sawshank Redemption over Forrest Gump if they were both on TV at the same time. Both movies are well acted, great characters, character development, dialogue, great pacing, all the elements of making a movie great, but I like the Sawshank story of redemption better.

I don't mind forest gump but like someone said it has a horrible message at it's core and it's just a lot of back patting for baby boomers

 

[Ziggiy]

Also the reason it may have such a high rating is because it was the first movie to use a lot of camera work directors use today.

Y'all REALLY sitting here making excuses for why a movie about the PINNACLE of White Supremacy has a 100% score by Cac journalists

 

[AquaCityBoy]

Toy Story 3 - 99%

at those two critics who kept it from getting 100.

 

[ottorocket]

these scores don't leave me baffled but it's funny how we love stuff as kids but adults don't have the same fondness for it; I think it's something we should keep in mind when we dump on kids movies today:

Mighty Ducks 12%
D2 21%
Little Giants 40%
Little Rascals 27%
Power Rangers 50%
Home Alone 54%
Home Alone 2 24%
Uncle Buck 64%

The Goonies 67%

Ok this one does baffle me though: Heavyweights is at 27% are you kidding me?

Space Jam 35%

Only reason I can think of unless the critic was racist.

Also why are you so sensitive I was not defending the movie I was just providing an explanation on why it got a high score. Take a film corset they talk about this movie all the time. Smh @ you taking away points from me.

 

[Supercoolmayo]

Most decent to good black films

Can you name some?

 

[HideoKojima]

The Cabin in The Woods.. 92 percent.

I hated this movie. I thought it was more insulting to the genre of Horror than an homage or whatever.. it was tongue in cheek in a bad way unlike something like Scream and the writers/director were feeling themselves too much. Just because they would rather see more horror movies with different villains and monsters doesn't mean thats what the public wants. I think horror is most effective when you don't stray too much from common horror movie themes and practices.

I saw the shyt in theaters, and I was kind of upset that I didn't like the movie, because the whole theater audience loved it, to the point that people were clapping and having conversations with each other about how great it was during the credits and I'm sitting there like "I dont get it"

The whole film is pretty much genius man. It's satire. The film basically explains why horror movies exist. They're all sacrifices and those dumb things that happen in horror movies (people having sex while serial killers are on the loose and splitting up) are intentional. I thought it was witty.

 

[Fart Knocker]

anyone who doesn't like don't be a menace should go off themselves, that movie never gets old, ever

It's witty but it is also a very smug film and so proud of itself lol. It's less about horror and more about horror fans and what we want and crave from our horror flicks and how we react if if we don't get it. It's more so calling the audience out for our dumbness and in that sense, it's a very smug film. Fukk you cabin in the woods! I still love it tho lol

 

[Fart Knocker]

Grandma's Boy: The Thread

It got an 18% from critics but 86% from the audience. That's one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

the black priest guy at the end who shakes his head and says "fukking white people!" had me in stiches

 

[Dylmatic]

There Will Be Blood 91%

92%?!? Like, forreal, forreal?

That shyt was hot garbage. I get that it was satire, but I still left the movie thinking "Well, that was a waste of my time."
