10 Movies That Are Still Great After Twenty Viewings

10. Pulp Fiction

As a motion picture made by a movie nerd as a means of bringing together a ton of his influences and amalgamating them into one fluid whole, Pulp Fiction remains one of the most definitively rewatchable movies ever made. It's not just that it's constructed in a non-linear fashion, or that its soundtrack remains endlessly most iconic - it's the characters.

Tarantino's characters are always delicious, but never, perhaps, as delicious as they are here; and they certainly make the movie, time and time again. Be it Vincent, Jules, Butch, Mia, Marcellus, The Wolf... Pulp Fiction throws dozens of amazing, unforgettable characters into this crime flick's melting pot and lets them do all the talking.

So going back to Pulp Fiction for the twentieth time is like being in the company of old friends - and it doesn't hurt that the movie is also endlessly quotable, packed to the brim with movie homages, in-jokes, referenced and nods, and is so freakin' cool. As perhaps the most important movie of the '90s, twenty viewings isn't enough. As a cinematic milestone of the highest order, it's hard to imagine a time in which Pulp Fiction doesn't feel fresh.
