- The Devil's Backbone (by a mile)
- Pan's Labyrinth
Aside from (moments in) Cronus, I don't like any of his other films. (I haven't seen Hellboy II, but seeing as how I didn't enjoy the first Hellboy, I doubt I would enjoy that movie, either.)

1.Pan's Labyrinth(the masterpiece)
2.Hellboy II: The Golden Army
3.The Devil's Backbone
4.Hellboy
5.Blade II
6.Cronos
7.Mimic
Pacific Rim(TBD)
To me, his films fall into 3 categories.
Small personal works like Cronos, The Devil's Backbone, and Pan's Labyrinth,
&
mainstream Hollywood blockbusters like Mimic, Blade II, and now Pacific Rim.
The Hellboy movies are coterminous on both ends of the spectrum. -

Of those I've seen, I'd rank them:
1)The Devil's Backbone
2)Cronos
3)Mimic (The Director's Cut)
4)The Faun's Labyrinth
5)Hellboy
6)Geometry (short film)
Still haven't seen Blade II, Hellboy II, Pacific Rim or any of his other short work.

- A tie between Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy - Pan's Labyrinth is his "best" film, but Hellboy is my personal favorite. It's a movie that I could watch over and over again and not get bored. Helps that I'm a HUGE fan of the comics.
- The Devil's Backbone - An amazingly well made ghost story with a heart. Love the setting and the backstory/look of the ghost.
- Cronos - An amazingly well made vampire story with a heart. Love how small and intimate the story is, considering the subject matter.
- Pacific Rim - An amazingly well made giant robot/monster movie with a heart. Best movie of the summer.
- Blade II - Purely and simply a big, dumb, fun action movie. Jared Nomak and the Reapers are awesome villains.
- Hellboy II - Love the look of the world that del Toro designed and the big ideas that he tries to explore, but the story is lacking and I really dislike Danny Elfman's score. Also a bit too much humor for my taste.
- Mimic - A pretty bad film, but not all of that is del Toro's fault. It could have been a fun B-movie if the studio didn't meddle with it so much.

1-
Pan's Labyrinth
10 out of 10 (One of my favorite films.)
2-
Hellboy II: The Golden Army
9 out of 10
3-
The Devil's Backbone
9 out of 10
4-
Hellboy
9 out of 10
5-
Blade II
8 out of 10
6-
Chronos
8 out of 10
7-
Mimic
7 out of 10 (Yes, he more-or-less disowned it, but you can still feel his presence and it's still a very well-made film.)
(I unfortunately have not had the opprotunity to see
Pacific Rim
it came out at a time where I had no money to go to the movies, and I have had turbulent finances the past few months, so I cannot afford to buy the Blu-Ray release at this time.111c It's
killing
me that I haven't seen it yet, because I am such an enormous del Toro fan.)
And FURTHERMORE, this is my signature! SERIOUSLY! Did you think I was still talking about my point? -

Pretty badly, given that Pan's Labyrinth is all he's got, and I love Ron Perlman, as much as the next guy or gal, but one Hellboy was enough, and I think the first one was vastly superior to the second. Oh yeah, Pacific Rim was horrible, horrible. Someone said it best. Charlie Humman (?) should've stuck to Sons of Anarchy and the rest of the cast was atrocious, let alone the script and plot. The robots were great for about ten minutes, and the aliens were great for less. That being said the people who go to movies these days have no clue what a good movie is, let alone great.
