Some Of The Greatest Films From The Incredibly Passionate Actor, Denzel Washington

By Brian Jones


When it comes to movies, one of my favorite actors working today is without a doubt Denzel Washington. Everything about the guy is likable, and with his high level of talent, it comes as no surprise that over the past two decades, he has become of the greatest actors working in Hollywood.

Here is a list of my top 5 favorite movies starring Denzel Washington.

I will start off with his 1989 classic, Glory. In Glory, Denzel stars as Private Trip, a member of the first all volunteer army for the Union during the Civil War. This is an absolutely incredible film.

Another great Denzel Washington film is the Spike Lee directed drama He Got Game. This movie also stars the great Ray Allen as Jesus Shuttlesworth, who also happens to be a great basketball player. If you are a fan of Spike Lee or basketball films (or both), you have to see He Got Game.

"You can't handle the truth!" This is one of the most memorable quotes in American cinematic history, and comes from the Tony Scott film, Crimson Tide. This movie was one of Denzel's earlier roles, but still one of his best.

One of my favorite Denzel Washington movies, and one of my overall favorite action films is without a doubt, Man On Fire. Directed by Tony Scott, all you have to know about this film is Denzel is bent on revenge and will take it out on the streets of Mexico City.

I would be remiss to make a list of Denzel films without mentioning one of his most memorable roles, none other than coach Herman Boone in the Disney football film Remember The Titans.

One other movie that should certainly be mentioned is the Preachers Wife. I'm actually kidding, this is one on the list you can skip.
