9 Movies That Get Better The Deeper You Go

4. Pulp Fiction

Arrival Movie
Miramax

Like many directors on this list, Quentin Tarantino has a particular, unavoidable style smeared all over his movies that make them as undeniably his as a wad of his own spit, and it's one that seeps down to even the smallest of details. Having such control over his artistic works means that everything we see on screen is there for a reason, and trying to figure out exactly what that could be is half the fun of watching his movies.

Popular theories for Pulp Fiction stem from the brief case that Jules and Vincent carry round, stating that it's everything from a sh*t load of gold to their very own imprisoned human soul - but it's in other little moments that Pulp Fiction proves itself to be more layered than your granny's old trifle recipe.

Mia Wallace revealing a meta reference to Kill Bill, the connection between bathrooms and bad luck, Tarantino's knowing nod to binaries between family-friendly dance scenes laced with drug addicts and mobsters - it's a plethora of choices that all resonate on a deeper level. Everything is connected to some random cinephile nod if you search hard enough.
