    John Q was a really good, underated movie as well. American Gangster was extremely good, too!

    Denzel's one of my all-time favorites.

    Agreed, Denzel is one of my favorite actors too.7nshkdekqixb.jpg

    Back in the 80s, I used to get James Woods cornfooosed with Christopher Walken. And there was a comedian who claimed that Dustin Hoffman and Al Pacino were the same person. :p

    Why don't you take your racist thread crapping somewhere else troll?

    I really liked The Book if Eli, but I am a big fan of apocalyptic movies done well, and action movies that actually have a plot, and this one had both.

    Can’t believe Fallen hasn’t been mentioned. That movie creeped me out. John Goodman was also outstanding.

    And Philadelphia was an outstanding movie. He was overshadowed by Tom Hanks, but he was still very good.

    No love for Safe House?

    Training Day is solid.

    The Book of Eli was great.

    Denzel gives his all in Every project but I think these are his best work:

    1)Malcom X
    2)Glory
    3)Mo' Better Blues

    IMO I would have given him the Oscar for Malcom X over Training day. However, we all know how that works ..it's not always about the move but the body of work. I feel the same about Halle Berry's Oscar...Monster's Ball was not her best work.
