"Pulp Fiction" was the first Tarantino's movie that I have seen. I love the absence of the chronological sequence: it creates suspense. The actors were fantastic: Travolta with this movie was reborn, Thurman became famous and then there is the Tarantino's cameo. The screenplay is excellent. I think that everyone have to see this movie: it is a cult picture that opens a new era of the cinema.

I love this TV series: it mixes drama, comedy, mystery, love story. I have seen a lot of time lot of episodes but they have never bored me even if i know all the scenes. The description of their method in order to find the killer and the precision of the scientific words are very interesting. I must be very careful in order to understand them.

I knew the existence of this film reading Top 250 on this web site. And some day after, I saw it on TV. So, the final is predicted: is sure that they can exonerate the boy. But I love how this happens: the cliff-hanger, the prejudices of juror and how the main character persuades them of boy's innocence. When I saw the end of movie, I remain astonished, I can't say why, but I love this film even if it is predicted. I love the screenplay, actors, cliff-hanger, the color (the movie is in white and black): all of this movie. I think that is interesting that we don't know the name of character and that the film is shot in one set (bathroom, room in which there are juror, courthouse)

I have high expectations for this movie which is transmitted on TV every Christmas eve in Italy. But this film is nonsense, the screenplay is stupid and I don't like the actors. The jokes don't amuse me, I don't understand them. The idea of bet is too unreal for me, and the price (one dollar) is embarrassing. The end (the main characters rich and the love) is predicted. Vote is one because I can't give zero or less. I was surprised because this movie had a Oscar nomination for Best Original Song Score or Adaptation Score and a Golden Globe Nominations for Murphy (Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy) and for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. But luckily won Michael Caine and Yentl. The set of this movie is Christmas time, but no-one talks about Christmas or the new year. So I can't consider "Trading Places" a Christmas movie because, if i can, also an horror film which is set during Christmas holiday is a Christmas film.
