This is what passes for good when you're a writer.
(*points at icon* That's Baz Luhrmann banging his head against the chart of Moulin Rouge plotlines. I uploaded it especially for this post.)

Those are the only three movies he's done thus far. He did an amazing version of La Boheme for the stage, updating it to 1950s France. The first time he did that, with an Australian company about 10 years ago, it was released on DVD. Well worth watching (I wasn't an opera fan until that). Then he directed it again with a company in San Francisco a couple of years ago, and I was lucky enough to see a performance there. Absolutely fantastic.
He was desperate to direct a biopic of Alexander the Great, and he had some AMAZING stuff for it in the works, but Oliver Stone had better financing and swifter deals, and we all know how that turned out. *hates on Stone for that*
He has a new movie, "Australia," coming out next year with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. I understand it's to be quite epic, and he's aiming to depart from his Red Curtain style pretty dramatically. He's also no longer working with Craig Pearce, the co-writer of the Red Curtain trilogy (and friend of Baz's since he was five). Should be interesting...
