Pulp Fiction (1994)
A story told out of order, a briefcase nobody explains, and a dance contest that stopped time.
The film every 90s teenager quoted at least once at the wrong moment. It jumps around in time, kills a main character halfway through, then brings him back for the ending, and it works.
For gamers
- Non-linear storytelling: the same idea games love, where you piece the story together yourself.
- The glowing briefcase is the greatest unexplained loot drop in history. We still don’t know what’s inside.
- “Royale with Cheese” is world-building in one line about burgers.
