Pulp Fiction
Quentin Tarantino's crime anthology weaves together four interlocking stories involving hitmen, a gangster's wife, and a boxer, told out of chronological order. It is a landmark of 1990s cinema rated R for pervasive graphic violence, heavy drug use, strong language throughout, and a scene of sexual violence.
