Yup not too easy to get the right team to make the movie good, even if the writing or production of direction of camera work are good you need the right actors cast in the right roles, don't think there's a weak link in Pulp Fiction, let's hope that Kill Bill will be as good as Alan_smithee is suggesting.
I beg to differ, Jackie Brown had a lot to live up to with the first 2 being so good. Jackie Brown was a good film in it's own right but just not as good as the other 2 which is what people were expecting, as it did not hit the same high expectations people were disappointed in it. Watch it again in the frame of mind you have now, ie it is not a good film, see if you then think it was actually better than you remembered.
