Frankly, I consider The Iron Giant to be Brad Bird's only great movie and the only that is worth the buzz. His work for Pixar haven't been as great, though they have their perks. The Incredibles is fun and engaging, but not as great as it could've been. Ratatouille is cute and charming, yet it's lull at some parts and suffers from a couple of unnecessary scenes too many.
As for his other ones, I haven't seen them.

As a huge fan of Brad Bird, it was tough for me to rank his films.

1. The Iron Giant
2. Ratatouille
3. The Incredibles
4. Mission Impossible

100. Tomorrowland - Ugh, I don't know what happened here. It is like he forgot what makes a good film.

Even though The Incredibles inspired me to become an animator, it was The Iron Giant that cemented it.

I rank Ratatouille one up because of the film "defeated" the villain. It was not typical "blast them into oblivion" but Ego was stripped to his core where he recalls how much he loves food and it was so sweet that his favorite food is still his mom's!

Incredibles
Iron Giant
Ratatouille

That's all I've seen so far. I imagine I'll end up putting incredibles 2 right under the first. Though I might need to see the iron giant again, its been quite a long time since I've seen it.

I haven't seen Incredibles 2 because it hasn't opened in my country yet, but I'm going to rank the rest of his films.

1. The Incredibles
2. The Iron Giant
3. Ratatouille
4. Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
5. Tomorrowland

For those wondering why I would even consider putting "Tomorrowland" as my #1, that movie left a profound impact on me. As an optimist and somebody who believes Walt Disney's original vision for EPCOT would have helped the future and humankind for the better, it really spoke to my sensibilities. I loved the road trip aspect of it, I loved the character interactions, I loved the action sequences and I think Casey Newton and Athena are two of the most inspiring characters to reach the screen in a while. I even love the much contested ending, as that's when the entire message came together in a beautifully satisfying way. Governer Nix's monologue was and is something the public really needed to hear. I loved the themes Bird explored in the film and I have seen "Tomorrowland" multiple times already and it makes me more emotional each time. It's the closest we've gotten to a modern-day "Back to the Future."

Here's my ranking.

2. Ratatouille
