On the other hand, I still find new things to appreciate about Citizen Kane, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, etc.

I've got the Garden State disc, and one day soon I am hoping to find the time to watch it. But Chaff, if you hold every film up to Kane, and the Good, Bad, etc..., you are going to be disappointed way more often than not, aren't you? I mean, there can only be so many classics, else they wouldn't be classics.
Can you conceive of another category: not classic, but respectable?
I have not seen "Garden State," so I cannot speak. I do, however, dig the shit out of Natalie Portman. It's pretty much the only reason I own the disc.
