11. Inside Man (2006)

There's a simple reason why Inside Man is the first movie collaboration between Washington and Spike Lee to make this list: They're the perfect team, with no duds to their name.

Following on from three emotionally devastating dramas about race, class, and family in America, the pair teamed-up for a heist thriller with a twist, one that's so effortless and unexpected it becomes more effective with every re-watch.

Washington brings his A-game as a determined negotiator working the case of his life, and his various co-stars (including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Willem Dafoe, and Clive Owen) match him every step of the way.
