(Pulp Fiction (1994):
Reservoir Dogs (1992):
Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003):
Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004): )

Really hard to separate these four as they are each classics in their own way.

I put Pulp Fiction first as it's more original than Reservoir Dogs which is largely a re-make of City on Fire.

Kill Bill is slightly lesser due to it's slavish devotion to Lady Snowblood.

(Inglourious Basterds (2009):
Django Unchained (2012): )

Two others that could really go in either order. Historical revenge fiction. They're fine. Waltz is more brilliant in Basterds than Django.

The Hateful Eight (2015):
Definition of a slow burn. More fun if you go with the fan theory that this is a remake of John Carpenter's "The Thing". Unlike the last two, there is no stand out performance like with Waltz.
Jackie Brown (1997):
Pam Grier walking simulator. I get it, she's hot, Tarantino has a foot fetish, felt like 40 minutes of her walking was too much.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019): Excruciating to watch. Doesn't even have a Tarantino signature soundtrack. Just people driving around LA listening to radio commercials.
Death Proof (2007):
Irredeemably unlikable.

Huh, interesting to see you rate and Inglorious Bastards so highly. A film about killing Nazis. As I recall you weren't a fan of that.

Oh, I'm totaly down with killing Nazis, I'm not down with internet edgelords being idiots putting innocent people at risk through doxing.
