Two years after “Reservoir Dogs,” director Quentin Tarantino cemented his legacy with this quintessential crime drama. Telling three interconnected stories of pulpy violence, it rendered substantial impact on the movies released in its wake. Uma Thurman only agreed to play gangster’s wife Mia Wallace—one of her most iconic roles—after Tarantino read her the entire script over the phone.
