His best work was Pulp Fiction which i would class as a modern day classic.
True Romance reminded far too much of Terence Malicks Badlands with martin sheen and sissy spacek just with some pop culture and Elvis thrown in.
Reservoir Dogs was the same, the far east movie he based it on City on fire was far better and starred Chow Yun Fat there was also references to Taking of Pelham 123.(mr brown , mr orange etc )
His script doctoring in Crimson Tide even sticks out a mile with the Silver surfer and Star trek references.
