2. Remember the Titans
3. Philadelphia
4. Crimson Tide
5. Glory
6. Flight
6a. Malcolm X

I love Denzel. He commands your attention when he is on screen.

You should watch Fences as soon as you can. It might be #1 on my list, but hard to top Training Day

If I were being completely honest, I'd put Philadelphia #1.

But, people love Training Day so much and I do too. I didn't feel like having the argument. But here we are.

The Equalizer is very good too.

Its in my 6-8 range definitely.

The fuck you blaming us for? The guy is one of the 3-4 best actors in the history of movies. What can I say, he has a lot of good flicks

Philadelphia is good but no way I can get it in my top 5.

I'm not going to comment on Top 5 because you guys have laid out some solid lists. But I'll throw out my Top 5 Denzel movies I have an irrational love for:

1. Fallen
2. Deja Vu
3. Equalizer
4. Unstoppable
5. Ricochet

It's a difficult question. Crimson Tide is a better movie than Remember the Titans but Denzel is better in RTT than CT. He's featured more.

We need more criteria. Horrible question FavreFan. Give some direction!!

I was thinking best overall movie he’s in, not his best performance.

Luckily the top 2 on my list are the correct top 2 for both criteria

Unstoppable is great. Really wanted to get it in my top 5

I think his best performance is in Philadelphia.

But I watch Remember every time it's on.

But I also watch Philadelphia every time it's on but he's just a part of that.

Ive seen Philadelphia, Fences, and Training Day multiple times. Im comfortable saying his best performance is between Training Day and Fences, and its probably Fences.

I consider Philadelphia more of a Hanks movie than a Denzel movie.

He's really good in it though. His reaction eating a sandwich in the library is great and then going over to Hanks.

Now I'm watching Remember the Titans. FU, FF. I need to go to bed.

No argument here. He’s great in it.

F me? Nah, FU, you should be watching Fences for the first time instead of Remember the titans for probably the 20th time.

I don't want to risk falling asleep during it if it is that good.

Everybody be quiet now.

Bertier is about to turn this team around after the Denzel Civil War burial scene.

Flight is first, and everything else is tied for last.

I do not think I have an alcohol problem, but after watching Flight I seriously thought about giving up booze for fear that I might develop an alcohol problem.

I never liked the Civil War scene. Seemed a little over the top even watching it as a teenager.

Denzel is great in that one too obviously but that’s about as good as Will Patton gets. I think he makes that movie as much as Denzel

Agree with all that.

Hayden Panettiere might be the best part of that movie. And then she killed it in Heroes.

I'm also a big Will Patton fan. He makes every movie better.
