The 10 Best Scenes From Quentin Tarantino Movies

Quentin Tarantino has made some of the best movies of the last twenty years: movies dense with pop cultural nods, obsure movie references, memorable quotes, dynamite characters and innovative sequences that stick in your memory long after you've left the theatre, the man definitely knows how to give audiences a good time.

8) Jack Rabbit Slim’s – Pulp Fiction (1994)

If you ever needed a single scene to showcase the genius of Quentin Tarantino as both a writer and a director, there might be but one choice: Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Mia Wallace’s (Uma Thurman) date at Jack Rabbit Slim’s in Pulp Fiction. A fifties diner in the most extravagant sense, Slim’s looks like just about the coolest place in the world, and it’s here that Vega and Wallace engage in some of Tarantino’s best dialogue as they flirt with the use of some nifty pop cultural references.

The cinematography here is superb, especially as Vega takes a casual stroll around the place to Ricky Nelson’s “Waitin’ In School.” But the scene is capped, of course, by the legendary moment when the pair get up to dance to Chuck Berry’s “You Never Can Tell” – Tarantino wisely lets us indulge in the moment for as long as possible, before cooly fading out on one of cinema’s best ever first dates.
