This year is the 30th anniversary of Pulp Fiction.

This landmark film in many ways was a turning point in cinema. It was full of obscure references that probably only Quentin Tarantino would get. It helped jumpstart the 70’s retro crazy. It was crass and vulgar and unashamedly so. It was a crime drama that kicked off with the leads talking about what they called a Quarter Pounder in France.

Nothing seems to connect, but then it does. Like, why is Christopher Walken talking to the audience directly about a watch that was smuggled up someone’s butt? What’s the deal with Bruce Willis’ girlfriend talking about her tummy? And that couple holding up a diner at the beginning. What’s their deal?

There was nothing quite like it to hit mainstream film. It was a quirky indie movie that had cinematography so grand that general audiences embraced it.

Probably the most baffling to audiences at the time — or at least audiences that consisted of my college friends — was the non-linear aspect of the film. Famously, Vincent Vega dies in the middle of the movie. Yet, that’s not the last we see of him as later we turn back time and see what happens shortly after the opening scene.

Today’s bonus prompt: what’s your favorite film that tells its story in a non-linear fashion?
