This might be cheating, since Brick happens to be Johnson's feature directorial debut, but the man clearly has a type! The vastly underrated high school noir flick stars a young Joseph Gordon Levitt as the slick-mouthed investigator hunting down the truth behind the disappearance of his ex-girlfriend. Despite being set in a modern high school, Brick's old-school detective motif provides it a level of gravitas that drives the mystery forth and makes the story 10 times more compelling.
