I don't think his films are necessarily made to stand the test of time in a Citizen Kane, Casablanca, or Chinatown sense. Still, some of his films will stand the test of time because of how well done they are and their influence on pop culture during the periods they were released.
Film The Movie Critic - Tarantino's 'final' movie

I agree.
Tarantino films have a cool look to them as well as a very distinct writing style, but they are ultimately meant to entertain. They're not high art and I don't think that they were ever meant to be. Tarantino may be an opinionated weirdo, but he loves all kinds of films and is definitely no snob or cultural elite.
Much like with Nolan, his films are endlessly hyped up because he hits that nice sweet-spot between high art and summer blockbuster (much closer to the latter).

Pigeons should not be watching movies.
No offense but after seeing your list, this comment is like Damien Hirst telling Tracey Emin that her art is shit.
None taken.
Did Pigeon just use Wing Attack on Wing Attack?
feather on feather hate crime!
I would replace Kill Bills with Once upon A time in Hollywood, because I think it's his weakest movie apart from the Death Proof. Maybe Jackie Brown too, but then Jackie has one of my favourite movie songs in it.
Django would be somewhere in A2.
Reservoir Dogs by far his most overrated flick. Hateful 8 most underrated.
He has changed his mind apparently and will no longer be making the film.

Quentin Tarantino scraps plans for his final film – reports
The 61-year-old director, who says he will retire after his 10th film, has abandoned The Movie Critic, according to industry reports
I wonder why he got cold feet. I have to say that the premise wasn't enticing for me personally.

I see what you did there.
Unintentional
Upcoming scandal in three, two...
He’s probably doing a sequel to happy feet instead with uma thurman playing a penguin.
Ah shit. Liked the idea of Tarantino going the more chilled + hang out, introspective type way with his last film (similar ilk as JB and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood). Hope he makes it one day, if he's able to get over this 10 film and out quirk.
He'll do number 11 when someone writes him a massive cheque
He’s had a whole bunch of ideas over the years that never get off the ground, ranging from a third Kill Bill to when Elvis Presley stepped into a recording studio for the first time.
I’d be interested to see him doing a Spielberg/Fabelmans meta thing and do something loosely based on himself, how he hanged around with all kinds of people in LA, working in that famous video store to then writing and directing films. It would be fitting as his supposed final movie. You could probably end it with him on the Reservoir Dogs set about to shoot the diner scene and then it loops back around to his first movie.

Potentially. At the moment his idiosyncrasies are seemingly much more influential than his desire for more cashola. I'm hoping he'll move to weird pet projects after the 10.
He could just claim that Kill Bill is actually 2 movies and call it a day.

That sounds like a terrible Kevin Smith movie.
I mean... I'm far from being a fan of the guy, but he's done 9 films in 32 years, which isn't an insane level of output, and while I'm sure he's super well off, I doubt he's particularly motivated by money over his cinematic kinks.
Though I'd pay a lot for him to direct a Marvel film on which he has final cut.
Of all the things for Tarantino to do, him doing a Marvel film is top billing? Why? It's pants.
