Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction has been named the top film of the past 50 years by audiences at the Jerusalem Cinematheque, as part of the venue's 50th anniversary celebrations. The poll, which invited moviegoers to vote for their favorite films from the last five decades, resulted in a list of 11 fan favorites that will be screened throughout August.
The Jerusalem Cinematheque, a cultural landmark in Israel, has been showcasing classic and contemporary cinema since its founding in 1973. The anniversary poll reflects the tastes of its diverse audience, with Pulp Fiction taking the top spot. The 1994 film, known for its nonlinear narrative and iconic dialogue, has remained a favorite among cinephiles.
Other films on the list have not been fully disclosed, but the Cinematheque announced that the 11 selected films will be shown in a special series during August. The screenings are part of a broader program celebrating the institution's half-century of film programming.
The Cinematheque's 50th anniversary has been marked by retrospectives, special events, and audience engagement initiatives. The poll results highlight the enduring appeal of Tarantino's work and the continued relevance of the Cinematheque as a hub for film culture in Jerusalem.
