Tarantino's 1994 smash, and although that sound runs throughout the soundtrack (along with bits and pieces of dialogue from the movie), this is a pretty eclectic bunch of really terrific songs. I don't know how it all manages to hang together, but it does (you might say the same for the interwoven stories in the movie). Where else are you going to find Chuck Berry, Maria McKee, Al Green, The Statler Brothers, Kool&the Gang, Urge Overkill (singing a Neil Diamond ballad!), Ricky Nelson, Dusty Springfield, and the Tornadoes (among others)on one album? McKee's beautiful "If Love is a Red Dress (Hang Me in Rags)" is a standout, partly because it's less familiar. One of the few soundtracks of the '90s that went into the CD player and stayed there for weeks and months thereafter.--Jim Emerson

I dont know about you, but what can really make a movie, to me, is it's soundtrack. And what makes a soundtrack worth buying, is its ability to make you feel like you're watching the movie again. Thankfully this is no exception.
The soundtrack begins with 'Misirlou', the classic Pulp Fiction track. I even have it as a ringtone... The album starts as the film does- belting. We then travel through the movie; the Royale with cheese, the boogie-ing, the drugs, the guns, reaching the climatic 'Ezekiel 25:17' by Mr Cool himself- Samuel L Jackson.
It's difficult to review a soundtrack so closely in time with the film, without starting to review the film. Lets put it this way- the film couldn't be without this soundtrack. It's funky, you'll feel EXTREMELY cool listening to it driving to work, and according to 'the parents' it completely echoes the 70's. They would know, trust me.
I have yet to criticise Quentin Tarantino's musical choices. Kill Bill is a prime example of someone who's knowledge of music is almost as developed as his knowledge of films.
If you've never seen the film, fear not. If you like the soundtrack- give the movie a try. The Pulp Fiction soundtrack stands on its own from the film as a very good compilation album, but has the ability to take those fans of the film right back into that diner.
Advantages: Easy to listen to any time day or night Disadvantages: Makes you crave to watch the movie!
I actually came online to write a review about the hit move PulpFiction, but when the search result came up, I was surprised to see that no one had dared tackle the soundtrack to the film, which in my opinion is on of its best features.
Anyone who is a fan of Quentin Tarantino will no doubt know that he has a soft spot for 70's music, and this comes across in all of his movies (Except the Kill Bill movies, he went a different path with those soundtracks). But out of all his movies, this is probably my favourite soundtrack.
As a break from my normal style of reviewing, I am going to break each song down and review it, then the album as a whole.
Tim Roth - Pumpkin and Honey Bunny
Tim Roth is one of my favourite actors, and although this wouldn't be one of his standout scenes, it is a nice feature that the opening dialog used ...
