would you say that all of your fave classics are directed by tier 1 directors though? i'm not sure that one has as much to do with the other, as you're making it out.

I liken it to sports, anybody can win a championship, simply winning one don’t make them elite (plenty of classics directed by flash-in-the-pans). But to be elite, you have to win a championship, simply being extraordinarily good doesn’t cut it. Tarantino ain’t won no strap for Seb, and that’s fair enough, thus tier 2.

Reign nailed it. *high fives*

What's the Championship?

A masterpiece film.

Exactly.

I think Pulp Fiction is a masterpiece

I think Kill Bill is too.

I do like Death Proof. A lot. Without Kurt Russell, though, not sure I would.

I haven't watched R Dawgs in years. I remember not getting the hype with that one. I remember liking the actors performances though. But as a movie I thought it was "meh". I need to revisit that one as my tastes have changed.

Agreed. And probably the most important movie made in the past 30 years.

I think Basterds is too.

I need to watch that one again. Saw it when it came out, and I was amazed. Not sure why I haven't rewatched it.

most important because of the legacy or because of the film itself and the themes within?

Legacy, influence
