The completed films Bruce Lee starred in before his death were:
The Big Boss (aka Fists of Fury)
Fist of Fury (aka The Chinese Connection)
Way of the Dragon (aka Return of the Dragon)
Enter the Dragon
He had shot some of Game of Death before he died, but never completed it. A few years after his death, the footage he'd shot was cobbled together with newly shot scenes using a lookalike and in some cases, even a cardboard cutout of his head (i'm not kidding). The real scenes he shot are absolutely electric, but the rest is an abomination. It bares little resemblance to the conception that he had for it.
All of these films are in the martial arts genre. Any other films that are supposed to be about Bruce Lee or have him in it are generally films that exploited his fame after his death and are not true Bruce Lee films.
Prior to those films, Bruce appeared in some television shows in the U.S., most famously as Kato in The Green Hornet (and a few episodes of Batman) and Li Tsung in Longstreet.
A biopic about Bruce Lee was made in the 90s, entitled Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. It takes some pretty significant liberties with the facts of his life, but most biopics do. If you're really interested in his actual life, there are some great documentaries. One of my favorites is his A&E Biography Episode, which is available on DVD as Bruce Lee: The Immortal Dragon.
