- The Verdict. “The Verdict” is one of Sidney Lumet’s greatest films, and that’s saying something, with films like “Network” and “Dog Day Afternoon” in his repertoire; however, much of its greatness is owed to Mamet’s humble and powerful screenplay.
- The Spanish Prisoner. This is, without a doubt, a true Mamet film. It’s written and directed by him and it co-stars many of his familiar faces. The only trope missing from this film is his usual sweary dialogue, though it doesn’t make the banter between the characters any less entertaining.
- Wag the Dog. In most, if not all of Mamet’s works, there’s a power struggle in some form or another. In his most incendiary play, “Oleanna” (which was also adapted as a film by Mamet himself), it’s a teacher and a student fighting for their dignity.
- Spartan. This film has a story similar to the first season of “24”, but being written by Mamet, you know you’re getting something very different. Val Kilmer is electric in this film, reminding us of what he’s really capable of doing, and it’s something he unfortunately shows very little nowadays.

When the daughter of a prestigious U.S. politician is kidnapped, Scott finds himself in the unenviable position of figuring out what happened to Laura Newton (Kristen Bell) before it's too late.
- Heist (2001) 66% Gene Hackman and Danny DeVito headline Mamet's Heist, a film in which a disgraced jewel thief finds himself entangled in a battle with his accomplice and longtime crime boss.
- Redbelt (2008) 68% In Mamet's Redbelt, Chiwetel Ejiofor stars as Mike Terry, a mixed martial arts fighter turned Jujitsu trainer who becomes caught in a web of Hollywood intrigue upon saving a movie star in a bar fight.
