10 Awesome Movie Scenes We Can't Stop Rewatching

Quentin Tarantino’s second feature film Pulp Fiction didn’t just embody the zeitgeist, it redefined it. Churning out mid-‘90s cool like nobody’s business, the film popularized a new style of ultra-violent, non-linear cinema, drawing from influences as diverse as noir classic Kiss Me Deadly (1955) and survival thriller Deliverance (1972). Right at the centre of this whirlwind were John Travolta and Uma Thurman, starring as gun-for-hire Vincent Vega and gangster’s moll Mia Wallace.

While not a dramatic moment, few scenes in the history of modern cinema have penetrated pop culture like the Jack Rabbit Slim’s dance competition. And we'll be damned if it ain't just a spot of good ol' fashioned fun in the middle of an otherwise horrendously violent movie.

Taking to the restaurant’s stage with a shimmy, a shake, and no shoes, Vincent and Mia boogie their way to a trophy with some truly groovy moves, the like of which wouldn't make the cut of your average indie crime picture. But while Tarantino only wanted them to do the Twist, we have Travolta - already an established dancefloor talent from Saturday Night Fever (1977) and Grease (1978) - to thank for convincing the director to let him throw in a bunch of dances he grew up with, including The Spin and The Batman. Without him, we might not still be returning to the scene 20 years on.
