Books have been written on Pulp Fiction. Many a podcast has been spoken. Quentin Tarantino is still kind of working on his craft here in 1994. Even if it's not your favorite QT film, and for me it depends on the day which is my favorite, it would be hard to argue it's anywhere near the bottom of his filmography.
We have had 30+ years of digesting this mostly glorious piece of work. What's in the suitcase? The random scene order. You can see the way he works the burger in, quite unsettling, like the previous Hans Landa scene from #38.
Pulp has more rewatchable scenes than The Departed, but that didn't make it easy to pick one. I could have gone with the Wolf scene, which feels like a short film unto itself.

I could have gone with the ending, which ends up being a Samuel Jackson monologue.
"I hate to shatter your ego but this ain't the first time I've had a gun pointed at me"

“The truth is, you’re the weak and I am the tyranny of evil men. But I’m trying, Ringo. I’m trying real hard to be the shepherd.”
Instead I went with the famous - check out the big brain on Brad! Mostly another Samuel Jackson monologue, but there's quite a bit more happening in this scene.
The $5 milkshake date and dance scene is pretty good. Not a fan of the whole pawn shop sequence, except for Bruce Willis putting a chainsaw down for a katana. Anything with Jules and Vincent is gold though. This won't be the last QT scene on here.
