There are few actors in this day and age that have as impressive a resume as the great Denzel Washington. There is a lot to like about this incredibly talented actor, and it certainly goes beyond his charm. Denzel manages to play a number of different types of roles, and at this point in time, seems to have the pick of the litter when it comes to choosing his scripts.
Here is a list of my top 5 favorite movies starring Denzel Washington.
I will begin with the role that finally nabbed Mr. Washington the Oscar he deserved. In the Antoine Fuqua directed film Training Day, Denzel plays the corrupt cop Detective Alonzo Harris, who makes for quite the entertaining villain.
Another great movie in this amazing actor's catalogue is the 1993 drama Philadelphia. This is an incredible film about overcoming differences and pitting people of different ideals on the same side of the fence.
While it certainly did not receive critical acclaim, one movie that I thoroughly enjoyed was The Bone Collector. Mr. Washington plays a detective in this movie chasing after a gruesome serial killer, who (as the title would suggest) collects bones from his victims.
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.
If you have not seen Remember The Titans yet, it should be high up on your list. If you are a fan of sports films, there is no excuse not to see this one.
As it stands, this is my Denzel Washington best of list. But as the years go on, the man continues to churn out quality films and as such, I may have to reevaluate after a few years.
