8) ``Pulp Fiction'' - In a jarring use of music, the '60s surf instrumental ``Misirlou'' (Dick Dale & His Del-Tones) is used as Uma Thurman and John Travolta dance at a bizarre '50s-style restaurant.
An eclectic mixture of great oldies like Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" and Dusty Springfield's "Son Of A Preacher Man," and classic surf instrumentals such as Dick Dale's seminal "Misirlou," the soundtrack sailed into the Top 25 and stayed on the Top 200 Albums chart for 107 weeks.
