Except for Santa Fe Trail, I've seen all of the Curtiz movies cited (and many more), but there is no way I can rank them in order.
Curtiz is the most under appreciated director of Classic Hollywood, never mentioned by critics when compiling their "greatest" lists and mostly overlooked by movie fans unless they are discussing his mangling of the English language and his autocratic brutality in dealing with his actors.

Oof. Offhand:
Casablanca (1942)
The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)
The Kennel Murder Case (1933)
Captain Blood (1935)
The Sea Hawk (1940)
Angels with Dirty Faces (1938)
Private Detective 62 (1933)
Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942)
Doctor X (1932)
Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933)
The Case of the Curious Bride (1935)
The Unsuspected (1947)
Dodge City (1939)
Santa Fe Trail (1940)
The Walking Dead (1936)
Virginia City (1940)
Life with Father (1947)
Passage to Marseille (1944; I’ve seen this, but I hardly remember it)
White Christmas (1954)
We’re No Angels (1955)
The eternal question is, what happened to Curtiz—with his wild, German-expressionist camera movements and angles and breakneck pacing—after he left Warner Bros.? And the usual answer is that he needed the studio system’s apparatus behind him, which may well be true, but—honestly, how did his direction into visual anonymity and blandness so quickly?

Wasn’t The Maltese Falcon directed by John Huston? (I know there’s a 1931 version too, but that was directed by Roy Del Ruth.)

Couldn't have said it better. Usually, the only mention of Curtiz is Casablanca. All of the movies he's directed have been enjoyable.
Except Santa Fe Trail. Not my favorite. Yeah, Hollywood doesn't get history right 90% of the time. But SFT is beyond silly. Be like making a Civil War film with a Panzer division winning Gettysburg for George Washington (still alive)
