I don't know if I've seen any. Truth to be told, I don't really know what a grindhouse movie even really is.

From Wikipedia:

Exploitation films is a loosely defined term to describe a genre of films that typically sacrifice the traditional notions of artistic merit for a more sensationalistic display, often featuring excessive sex, violence, and gore. Such films have existed since the earliest days of moviemaking, but they were popularized in the 1970s with the general relaxing of cinematic taboos in the U.S. and Europe.

It kind of spans a whole lot of regions, but I'll do my best here:

1. Rolling Thunder (1977)
2. Dawn of the Dead (1978)
3. Assault on Precinct 13 (1976)
4. Willie Dynamite (1974)
5. Night of the Living Dead (1968)
6. Jackie Brown (1997)
7. Land of the Dead (2005)
8. Day of the Dead (1985)
9. Dead Alive (1992)
10. The Hunger (1983)

Jackie Brown is not a grindhouse film based on those standards. Extreme violence and sex it has not.
