I haven't really got one favourite in particular, but what comes to mind at the moment is the Bonnie situation. Most of my favourite lines come from that segment.
As a side note, was it ever known how Jules knew Jimmy? I'm sure it's not mentioned, but I haven't watched it properly in so long I can't recall...
I always got the sense that Jules and Jimmie were friends from way back and Jimmie might have been a bit about the life himself. Or Jimmie has helped Jules out in that type of mess before. I think Jimmie says something to the effect of "The last time this happened was going to be the last time." Something like that. This makes it a bit more believable why Jimmie threw the N-bomb in Jules' face repeatedly, although Tarantino's acting in that scene is just horrible. I dunno... maybe the fact that he's hurling the N-word repeatedly just makes me not like the scene that much.
@Satch_the_man yeah I thought maybe he was part of that scene back sometime and that's why Bonnie would be doubly pissed at coming home to find gangster types doing gangster type shit... But to my memory it was never really addressed - not that that's a bad thing...
They've all got something to offer, but I have to go with Jules and Vincent retreiving the suitcase. Just hilarious and epic.
Gosh, they are all SO good. This is probably my favorite film as it is damn near impossible to find a flaw in it. And I should know, I am an expert in pointing out film flaws. I really, really like Jules giving life lessons to Honey Bunny and Pumpkin, (Come on Yolanda, what's Fonzie like?!) but the sweet satisfaction of dealing with those POS rapists and Butch earning himself a reprieve with his actions has got to be the best sequence.
No man, I'm pretty fuckin' far from OK.
Brilliant film and Tarantino has not even come close to a film this great since.
I have to disagree with you on this point. But its just my opinion. But I happen to think Inglorious Basterds is better than Pulp Fiction. Don't get me wrong I love both, but IB wins in a close battle. The scenes with Christoph Waltz alone do it.

Pulp Fiction (1994) - 5 outta 5 stars
I love IB and it is probably my third favorite behind Reservoir Dogs but a few scenes in IB seemed a bit forced and although Waltz performance was excellent I thought his lines were a bit long in the tooth and did not seem natural. Not his fault, it was how the scene was written. To me it seemed Tarantino took an especially longer route to make a point. More so than normal for him. I also wish Pitt would have investigated what a Tennessee accent sounds like but that was not a deal breaker. Point is I can find flaws in IB and in PF I cannot. IB though, damn good film.
The whole movie is great, but two that definitely stand out for me are:
the closure to the Butch/Marcellus stories
the redemption of Ringo and Honey Bunny, which was the point of the entire movie, and the source of my profile catch phrase, "I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd." (this was the topic of an article I wrote as part of a series on the redemption theme in Pulp Fiction).

OK I just found the strongest evidence to suggest that Jimmie was in "the life" like Jules and Vincent were...he and Mr. White from Reservoir Dogs were most likely related. They have the same last name. Jimmie's last name is Dimmick, and so is Mr. White's -- his name is Larry Dimmick.
Given that Vincent Vega is related to Mr. Blonde, it comes as no surprise they may not be the only connections between the two movies.

My fav is the Vincent and Mia part, its just so cool and slick and the dance has become so iconic.

Definitely the best scene of the movie. Actually, one of my favorites all-time scenes of any movie.

Vincent going over to Lance's house with a dying Mia is my favorite. closely followed by Jules and Vincent going to Jimmy's house

I'm not sure what you mean by "sequence." However, my favorite segment is The Gold Watch with its black humor and wild subject matter.

Chris Walken's monologue about the gold watch is definitely a favorite, and the diner situation at the end of the film.
