Wow, a little shocked by how many people disliked Pulp Fiction. I'm quite a fan of Tarantino and understand that some may not like his style but PF is an instant classic, I love that film!

I'm looking forward to Grind-House that he's made with Robert Rodriguez. Now that one will definitely not be to everyone's liking...

For a minute there, fluffer, I thought you meant the remake of The Wicker Man, in which case I'd have figured out a way to slap you over the internet.

Million Dollar Baby
I watched it tonight and recommend it, though it is a little sad.
I just like to mention what made the movie so special was the respect the three main characters had for each other.
