Do it with Pulp Fiction and maybe you can get the story in chronological order.

Pulp Fiction is in chronological order. Not by events, but by dialogue.

The movie’s circular, self-referential structure is famous; the restaurant hold-up with Pumpkin and Honey Bunny begins and ends the film, and other story lines weave in and out of strict chronology. But there is a chronology in the dialogue, in the sense that what is said before invariably sets up or enriches what comes after. The dialogue is proof that Tarantino had the time-juggling in mind from the very beginning, because there’s never a glitch; the scenes do not follow in chronological order, but the dialogue always knows exactly where it falls in the movie.
