I feel like you more or less watched his best already, but everyone has their own flavor of Tarantino movie. His first directorial debut, Reservoir Dogs, put him and his style on the map. It's definitely more rough and raw than his others, but not in a bad way. Full of great moments, intensity, and trademark quotes. I always find RD hard to rate exactly.

Jackie Brown is my least favorite of his, but by no means bad. Just could never get into it as much as his others.

Next in order that you haven't seen is Death Proof, which most people usually rank last, but is criminally underrated IMO. It's a giant love letter to films like Vanishing Point and stunt players, with Kurt Russell playing a great villain. This movie was credited for revitalizing his career. Fantastic stunt car chase scene for the last half of the movie.

The Hateful Eight is definitely a different beast. One of the more "grounded" of his works, and it films like a stage play, because it essentially is. It's a much slower burn and has mystery elements. I actually need to rewatch this, I was a little underwhelmed when I saw it, and I've only seen it once.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is also a little slower and plodding compared to his others, but is just a fantastic and fun journey of the final days of the Hollywood Studio system, set during the hippie movement of the time.

And yes, The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly is a masterpiece absolutely worth viewing. Amazing cinematography that would be copied and inspire film making forever more, endlessly memorable quotes and scenes, and just peak Westerness.
