- 'Secrets & Lies' (1996) IMDb Rating: 8.0/10. Secrets & Lies is Mike Leigh's most famous and acclaimed film, earning a total of five Oscar nominations (including Best Picture) and generating a huge amount of acclaim upon its release.
- 'Naked' (1993) IMDb Rating: 7.7/10. If Naked counts as a slice-of-life film, then it's probably one of the most twisted slice-of-life films ever made. It follows a particularly depraved individual who constantly antagonizes the people around him and lashes out against society.
- 'Vera Drake' (2004) IMDb Rating: 7.7/10. Like Topsy-Turvy, Vera Drake also sees Mike Leigh turning to the past to tell a story. Unlike Topsy-Turvy, Vera Drake has no light-hearted moments or anything close to comedic relief, and stands as what might well be Leigh's heaviest and most emotionally devastating film.
- 'All or Northing' (2002) IMDb Rating: 7.5/10. All or Nothing is a Mike Leigh film that leans heavier towards drama than comedy, though there is a little comedic relief, at least at first.
