Love a good Denzel, guy always seems so consistently good. Everything from american gangster, hurricane, man on fire, flight, fences and the equaliser.

Whats your favourite Denzel gaf?

Find a bad performance, I dare you:

Denzel Washington | Actor, Producer, Director

Known for: Fences, The Book of Eli, Antwone Fisher

god tier

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

The Equilizer >>> John Wick 1, 2, 3, and 4.

 

[Calcium]

I watched Deja Vu the other night. I thought the movie was pretty mediocre, but Denzel was solid as always.

 

[Boss Mog]

One of my favorite actors, the man is always on top of his game and never makes any bad movies.

 

[Patrick S.]

Training Day. He owned that part.

 

[Robot Carnival]

indeed he is. love him in all the films I've seen him in. John Q, The Bone Collector, The Seige, Man On Fire, The Takeing of Pelham 123, Book Of Eli, Inside Man, Training Day, Unstoppable, Equalizer. his performance in all these movies are outstanding. and even in the IMO "weaker" movies like Deja Vu, Equalizer 2, Remember The Titans, Magnificent Seven etc, his performance is still clearly above everyone else. I still need to watch The Fences, but I imagine his performance can only get better with Viola Davis to bounce off of each other.

on a side note, isn't his son also an actor? how's he coming along? got any of the old man's talent? must sucks having to fill such big shoes in terms of people comparing the two of them.

Fences.

Crappy oscar bait.

 

[Patrick S.]

I need to rewatch "Fallen". Loved that movie.

 

[BlackOlivesMatter]

Crimson Tide is probably my favorite Denzel flick, probably my favorite submarine movie too. Just re watched it back in November.

Glory is probably my 2nd favorite.

 

[FreedomOfSpeech]

I'll join the Denzel praise train.

Denzel is great.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Fences.

Crappy oscar bait.

Haven't seen it. I'll put it on my watch list.

I need to rewatch "Fallen". Loved that movie.

I've been thinking about this movie over the past month or so. I need to re-watch it as well.

gaf redeems itself with this thread today

As long as its not training day denzel, he ruined that film

Other than that he also seems like a wise dude too

Was anything wrong?

 

[Tesseract]

Was anything wrong?

not really, just messing

 

[EverydayBeast]

Taking of pelham 123 Denzil was more of an assist but it holds up.

 

[gela94]

I would say he was awesome in much ado about nothing

I guess was my first movie with him.

 

[The Hamburglar]

I would say he was awesome in much ado about nothing

I guess was my first movie with him.

Well he definitely stood out in that movie .

the Manchurian candidate is a great film, one of his best.

 

[Loke]

God tier acting.

 

[TaylorSwiftFan]

I think I’ve only seem him in Training Day.

 

[BadBurger]

Man on Fire is the best Punisher movie ever made.

 

[triplestation]

i think john q was the first american movie that gave me feels

 

[teezzy]

I recently re-watched Out of Time and was super impressed overall at what a fun thriller it turned out to be. I miss movies like that

 

[kretos]

 

[down 2 orth]

He's good stuff for sure.

 

[DESTROYA]

I am such looser and this thread just reminds me I probably haven’t watched a movie in years, most I watch is news and sports with the occasional documentary and read but movies ..>.nahhhhh

 

[JokerMM]

All his performances are great, but he fucking KILLED IT in training day

 

[Forsete]

Quality man making quality movies.

This reminded me of I ought to watch Flight again. It's on Netflix!

 

[Maiden Voyage]

I think I’ve only seem him in Training Day.

Watch American Gangster next.

 

[ZehDon]

Greatest of his generation, and a potential for GOAT, no question about it.

My favourite performance is always Training Day. He's always good in everything, but the extra layer he brought to Alonzo elevated that entire movie onto another level. Re-watching it, I always find a new moment where you can see the cogs turning. That smile in the car when Hoyt says "I will do whatever you tell me to", where you can see he thinks his master plan is golden and that he's got it all figured out. The look when he's holding the shotgun in his apartment in the final act, knowing he's got the situation in his favour and he can still make it work, even if it gets messy. Scene after scene of it all adding up. Truly amazing work.

 

[Greasy Caveman]

That's Will Smith

 

[John2290]

He has such a good run until The Equalizer 2, and it the first sequel he done and all. Such a pity he tainted one of the best Hollywood runs, near flawless.

 

[quickwhips]

Train day

[diffusionx]

Training Day - a lot of people, I remember, were like, "WTF he won an Oscar for this?" but it's held up so great. His performance is amazing in it.

Fences.

Crappy oscar bait.

Good performance, pretty lame movie

I can see why it would be a much more interesting theater production.

Watch American Gangster next.

I hate this movie.

 

[quickwhips]

Fuck I take it back. Virtuosity was my jam as a kid. I pick that movie as goat.

 

[M1chl]

This man is legend, one of the best actor in my opinion, he also does not have a bad movie.

 

[triplestation]

God tier acting.

good lord

 

[Celcius]

My favorite Denzel movies are Remember the Titans and Book of Eli

 

[triplestation]

yo look at this fucking movie

 

[BaneIsPain]

The bone collector used to be one my to go watch movie and Deja vu as well.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Complete legend and definitely one of my favorite actors. He also seems like an actual good dude.

 

[highrider]

To me a personal favorite. He’s a good actor and has good athletic ability, sells action much better than a lot of other actors. He da man

 

[ZehDon]

My favorite Denzel movies are Remember the Titans and Book of Eli

I don’t know, but I always forget The Book of Eli. Which is weird, because I absolutely love that film. He’s terrific in it, of course.

 

[C4.lukin]

I have always been annoyed that he either plays a law enforcement officer, politician, criminal, coach, or some combination of the four.
He is great, but man. I just want to see him build a cabin, or start a snow globe company.

 

[GeekyDad]

I enjoy his personality, good actor, but I can probably only sit through maybe 25 percent of the movies he's chosen to be in. Philadelphia is probably one of the best things he's done.
