Pulp Fiction ($8.5 million budget)
Pulp fiction may have been Quentin Tarantino’s second film but it became one of the most iconic films in Hollywood. The film which essentially defined the 1990s had an all-star cast, from Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta to Bruce Willis and Uma Thurman. It made just over $213 million at the box office.
The poster for the film could be seen in several places from subways to college bedrooms. Tarantino went on to become one of the greatest directors of our time, releasing films like Django Unchained, Inglorious Basterds, and Kill Bill.
