Out of this poll, it seems that Gladiator is the most commonly considered as one of "greatest movies of all time".
Coming second, LotR III.

Can people explain me why Pulp Fiction is "worshiped" -literally- that much and would deserve a place in the top movies of all times?? I mean compared to a movie such as...Scarface (original or remake), it's far from being as good as this, and yet it's usually rated much higher by critics and people than Scarface movies. I might replace also my example of Scarface by Bronx Tale which is also a classic of gangster movies...

Forgot to mention, I have already watched all I just mentioned including Pulp Fiction.

Seriously, what makes it "better" (rating-wise) than the whole following:
Once upon a time in America
A Bronx Tale
Scarface original/remake
American Gangster
Goodfellas
The Untouchables
...

I'd like to hear why. Because I definitely cannot figure out why.

I am going to take a shot at answering that. Now this is just my opinion so take it with a grain of salt. I think it is remembered fondly cause of the unusual way the story is told. I cannot remember another movie off hand that had a similar style. Secondly, it is possible because of when it came out (mid 90's) that influenced its love. There were some amazing performances in that movie from just about every one, and a surfer rock theme song. Greatness of a film is always subjective, memorable is not.
