The New Jersey Star Who Appeared In One Of The Greatest Movies Ever

After all, you're not the star of the movie if you're not up there on the credits. So, now how are we going to determine the biggest movies? Again, we decided to turn to IMDB. They seem to be the ultimate cinema source.

They once compiled their list of the 250 best movies ever based on viewer votes, and that is what we are going to use for our little exercise. Do you think you can guess it now?

It Might Not Be The New Jersey Star You Think It Is

Its official release date in the U.S. was September 23, 1994, and the New Jersey star of this movie was a sitcom TV star before hitting it big in the movies.

Give up? Oddly enough it's not Meryl Streep or Jack Nicholson. We're talking about the one and only John Travolta, who starred in IMDB's #8 movie of all time, Pulp Fiction.

We love John, but doesn't it surprise you that he outdoes Jack and Meryl for this title? It surprised us.
