John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Samuel L. Jackson, and other cast members of ‘Pulp Fiction’  danced onto the red carpet at the TCM Classic Film Festival to celebrate the film's 30th anniversary. 

The 'Pulp Fiction' stars reunited at the 15th annual TCM Classic Film Festival on Thursday in Hollywood.  

The stars were also joined by other cast members including Rosanna Arquette, Phil LaMarr, Julia Sweeney, Frank Whaley, and Eric Stoltz.

The iconic film, which catapulted Quentin Tarantino to mainstream success, follows three interwoven Los Angeles crime stories.

Travolta and Jackson stole the show as hitmen Jules and Vincent, while Thurman dazzled as the enigmatic Mia Wallace. 

Bruce Willis, Tim Roth, and Amanda Plummer rounded out the star-studded cast.

Although Bruce himself was not present at the event due to his health issues, his daughter Tallulah Willis and his wife Emma Heming Willis attended to honour him.

The film garnered seven Oscar nominations, with Tarantino winning Best Original Screenplay. Travolta, Jackson, and Thurman also received acting nods.

Rosanna Arquette fondly recalled the filmmaking process: "At the time, we knew we were in there, rehearsing, we're working with a great director, but didn't realise how huge it would become."

Eric Stoltz, who played drug dealer Lance, reflected on the film's genre-bending impact: "Tarantino created his own mish-mash of genres that surprised people — and Pulp was the first of its kind." 

He also expressed to PEOPLE openness to working with Tarantino again: "Not in a long time, but of course, I’d be open to working with him again. He’s the most fun man on the set, you can’t imagine."

The reunion comes on the heels of director Quentin Tarantino's surprising announcement that he has scrapped plans for his final film, "The Movie Critic," which would have starred Brad Pitt. 

This leaves the future of Tarantino's filmmaking career uncertain, as he previously vowed to retire after his tenth film.
