Started listening to a few tracks from the pulp fiction soundtrack again last week after something farmer posted.
The instrumental surf stuff like this was a stroke of genius from tarantino:

Misirlou and Bustin Surfboards are the other two surf tracks I think.
This was another inspired choice:
Pulp Fiction is actually on BBC 2 tonight
Where do people stand on Pulp Fiction?
Plot wise thereās not much there but I think itās class. Completely different, great writing, top soundtrack and just generally cool.
Tarantino is an alright sort.
top class film, could watch it over and over again
Itās all about aesthetics with Tarantino really and heās a form over content kind of filmmaker, like Pulp Fiction which is about as stylised a movie as youāll ever see. I read an interview with him before where he talked about writing with the music already in mind and the story came from that, like the whole instrumental surf thing with pulp fiction. Itās probably why everything seems to knit together so well. I always liked it anyway.
You canāt argue its originality and that counts for a lot. Some brilliant dialogue as well, which is probably one of the biggest influences Tarantino has had on film making. Characters actually having normal conversations instead of every conversation being about the plot.
(Off the top of my head so forgive any inaccuracies)
You know Marcellus Wallace?
Yeahā¦
Does he look like a bitch?
Noā¦
Well why do you want to fuck him like a bitch?
I donātā¦
Yes you do. And Marcellus doesnāt like to be fucked by anyone except Mrs Wallace

Never seen the film but I got this on some compilation soundtrack of Scorsese films off the cover of a magazine years ago and this fife and drum number was cracking.
Listening to Neil Diamonds soundtrack to Jonathan Livingstone Seagull again tonight. First heard it 39 years ago. Film was panned and the album suffered but it is a masterpiece.
