I first watched Pulp Fiction when I was ~13. I had it on DVD and didn't know what to expect. Watched it alone at the farm when I was just bored. I was blown away. For some reason I watched each scene twice in a row, first the scene, then again with the directors commentary. I don't think I ever did that again, but it was one of the most enjoyable movie experiences of my life.


I watch movies with intensity - 110% pure focus (and never, ever with any distractions). So, it's extremely rare I watch any movie twice. Maybe a total of around five movies ever, usually viewed years apart. Pulp Fiction is the only movie I ever watched twice on consecutive days. I saw it in the theater the first week it came out and went back again the next night.

Of course, it's obviously an incredible movie but the key reason for my immediate rewatch is that the film's structure is just so fascinating. BTW, Blade Runner is the only film I've watched five or more times.


I have to say that it is one of the few movies I’ve watched twice and enjoyed the second time

Like you, I watched it when I was young, and a bunch of stuff probably flew over my head

Watching it as an adult was pretty fun, and it aged better than expected


At 13yo I was still reading Donald Duck euro-comics :D I think the PF scene with The Gimp and the gagged dude would have confused me greatly..
