- Brick. The debut entry in a director's filmography often pales in comparison to later work in the rest of their career. There are usually hints of what'll end up becoming trademarks in the future, but those trademarks usually need some time to marinate before they mature.
- Knives Out. Released in 2019, Knives Out was a breakout success for Rian Johnson, and also a top contender for best Rian Johnson movie to date. Following the somewhat polarized response to Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Knives Out received nearly universal acclaim from critics, and appreciative audiences propelled the comedic murder mystery to an impressive $311 million box office take on a budget of $40 million.
- Glass Onion. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is a sequel to Knives Out, and it follows Daniel Craig's protagonist Benoit Blanc on an entirely new case.
- Looper. Before Johnson embarked on the sci-fi genre's No Man's Land with Star Wars: The Last Jedi, he tackled a wholly original concept with Looper. With Joseph Gordon-Levitt (who Johnson worked with on his first film) and Bruce Willis playing the same character, but from different time periods, the film is a time-jumping, mind-melting nod to films like The Terminator, Blade Runner, and 12 Monkeys.
