Levinson is a talented writer/director whose films have had commercial and critical success (lots of Oscar nominations and wins in there). And yet somehow, his name rarely comes up in discussions of great directors. Here’s how his films rate.

I've rated the films from a zero (horrible!) to four (wonderful!) star scale, with the links going to my reviews. As usual, I've only included films I've seen.
