I don't think any films were meant to be classics, they become classics. Although, I get the impression that the director of the LOTR trilogy had one goal in mind, to make a classic. It is too obvious.

Jackie Brown was never meant to be a classic in the same way that Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs were.

It's just a well made film with some fantastic dialogue.

From Dusk Till Dawn is worth a look but I think that Jackie Brown wasn't up to Tarantino's usual standard.

Jackie brown and from dusk till dawn are both on tv on channel 4 next week.

Pulp Fiction is his best in my opinion, though Resevoir Dogs is pretty close behind.

No ground breaking opinion there then.

The director doesn't switch half-way through as far as I know.

It's all Rodriguez directing, Tarantino was just there to lend a hand. He also co wrote the script and helped to edit the film.

I'm pretty sure anyway....

I thought Reservoir Dogs was more approachable than Pulp Fiction, so it gets the nod for me. Asides from that I've only seen From Dusk Til Dawn. I had no idea it was a Tarantino movie (although I'd guessed by about ten minutes in) and I had no idea the director switched half-way through. In the event I actually stopped the movie almost at the point it switches, then went back to watch the rest a week later, and wondered where my film had gone :S

Pulp Fiction

It is a great film. What films have tried to rip it off? I've watched a lot of gangsta films and the only other ones that are similar are Tarantino's other films like Pulp Fiction.

Reservoir Dogs.
Because every heist/gangster/crime flick since has been imitating and doing badly.
Because 3 of us walked out of the cinema that afternoon going "What the hell was that?" before going in that evening to watch it again.
Because of Lawrence Tierney & Michael Madsen.
Because of it playing every Sat at midnight when it was banned on video and we all went each week.
