This movie is one of the greatest movie of Sergio Leone. It is a Spaghetti Western casting the perfect actors for every role. Henry Fonda is terrifying in his bad guy interpretation. Charles Bronson also delivers a great performance in the enigmatic Harmonica shoe's. The soundtrack by Ennio Morricone is his greatest work and it succeed bringing the climax to the highest point. This movie is unique because Leone didn't made a movie with good guys and bad guys. Every character is bad (yes, some are badder than others). All character wanted revenge over past events and they are all include in the same problem for personal reason.The movie was a genuine effort to portray 'Americanism' in which good always triumphed over bad and where the life was hard but honest. It is, in my point of view, the greatest western movie ever made.

Pulp Fiction is the greatest Quentin Tarantino's picture. The events appear in non linear story line and the dialog are extremely brilliant. Quentin Tarantino also refer to American pop culture and he built a setting where humor mix with violent. Casting Bruce Willis, John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman and the unforgettable Harvey Keitel, Tarantino chose the perfect actors for every role. Like in a lot of his films, Tarantino emphasis the dialog and the monologue to construct a unique personality to each character and to show us the different American points of view. Each character is funny but freaky. The soundtrack feature a lot of surf, rock and roll and soul music and is one of the most popular soundtrack ever made. The movie laugh at American culture and prejudice. The movie was nominated for 7 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director for Tarantino, Best Actor for Travolta, Best Supporting Actress for Uma Thurman, Best Supporting Actor for Samuel L. Jackson and Best Film Editing. Quentin Tarantino won for best original screenplay. Pulp Fiction also won the Palme d'Or and the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture.
