Pulp Fiction Twists and Turns 20 Years Old Today!
What a month! Last week we celebrate the 20th anniversary of one of our very favourite Films Forrest Gump, now it's the turn of one of the biggest indie films ever to hot the big 2-0 and say goodbye to its teen years!
.
What a classic! Pulp Fiction first premiered in May 1994 at the Cannes Film Festival where it picked up a Palme d'Or, the festival's top prize, this instant hit later landed in the UK's cinema screens today (10th September) the same year.
Quickly making a name for itself and changing the way people look and even make movies, this cult classic beat the odds when it outsold its main rival at the time which was Sylvester Stallone's The Specialist which was showing in twice as many screens! Unsurprisingly, this film went on to become the top indie film to gross over $100 million, not bad seeing as it cost $8.5 million to make and a further $10 million to promote! Wowzers!
To help celebrate, along with having our fab range of Pulp Fiction T-Shirts and Accessories, we thought we would pop together a few of our favourite moments from this iconic flick with some cool facts you might not have known.

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 119
Cakes on a plane! It's the weekend...again?!
Preheating the oven to a steaming 180 degrees, we'll be donning our trusty aprons with battle scars from previous attempts as we get busy measuring, mixing, cracking and greasing our way to cakey goodness. We'll safely leave on the side to cool before spreading a much icing on as it each layer can handle, as we prepare our creation for its candle laden ceremony where it will make even the wildest dreams come true with one single puff.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Forrest Gump Turns 20 Years Old Today!
Shrimp on toast! We can hardly believe it but we've just caught word that one of the very best classic films from our ever-growing collection is turning a cool 20 years old today!
Yep, as scary shocking exciting as this is, the 90s classic Forrest Gump was released in UK cinemas today back in 1994! Frankly, we're still in shock that 1994 was 20 years ago! Where has that time gone?! What kind of sorcery is this?
But it's not only us who love this iconic flick. Picking up several awards along the way, this retro romantic fantasy comedy drama starring our movie hero Tom Hanks snapped up some amazing Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Actor in a Leading Role, Best Director, Best Visual Effects, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Film Editing. Wowzers!
So what made this films so special? Well....Forest himself of course, the music (oh the music!), the scenery, the ever-changing plot and a whole lot more!
To help 'jog' your movie memories just a touch, we thought we would put together some of the best moments that we follow Forrest through in order of appearance, like a storyboard of sorts. There are sooo many different parts, scenes and stories it's hard to keep up!
Enjoy!
