Pulp Fiction - Hamburgers

I was trying to work out what my favourite scene from Pulp Fiction is. Although the comedy of watching Vincent and Jules washing bits of brain out of their car and the sheer horror of seeing Uma Thurman catatonic from a coke overdose are both cinematic gold - you can't get away from Samuel L Jackson's career-defining moment when he delivers his Old Testament-inspired monologue.

I know it's not exactly an original choice, but Jackson's delivery of the line "Hmmm, that is a tasty burger" became something of an in-joke with my uni mates so it has good nostalgia for me. It's a scene that provided Jackson with a platform for the rest of his career. It's also a scene that Youtube don't let people embed.
