I'm a Denzel Super Fan!

There I said it...

IMO he is the number one Hollywood actor right now and has been for a long time.

Mr Ice Cool!

OK, I worked with him on "Deja Vu", and under-rated Sc-Fi movie, but well done, check it out if you haven't seen it. We filmed it just after Katrina in New Orleans.

Thanks Mr Hugh but I own every movie he's been in. (On Blu-Ray or DVD)

The one movie that disappointed me was Fences... It could have been great but instead it was chock full of stereotypes and cliches.

One of my all time favourites is: "For Queen and Country" (1988)

Boy, I could tell you stories about how effed up NOLA government was before and after Katrina. After 9/11 NOLA got $millions, just like most other US cities, the NOLA PD didn't have one case of bottled water to their name after Katrina, I was there for months. All those $$$$ just sort of disappeared. And they blamed everyone else.

Just watched Deja Vu again, good flick

Agree.... always enjoy his films and his predecessor Sidney Poitier

First took notice of him in ‘Devil in a blue dress’. Along with Don Cheadle.
Excellent film.

The character he created for "Glory" is one of my favorites. Morgan Freeman was also unforgettable in that one.

One of my all time favourites. The ending was tragic but amazingly based on a true story. They knew they were going to die but they went in regardless. It reminded me of our ANZACS at Gallipoli.

Great entertainer. I always look forward to his movies. I remember when he was a janitor on St Elsewhere.

Much better actor than he is a person but a super actor, for sure. He really should not be mentioned in the same conversation as Sidney Poitier, a giant of a man. They are both black and actors, that’s about it.

Sadly I think that statement applies to many in the sports and entertainment industry. I may respect their ability but I doubt many are worthy of the idolization they tend to receive.

If you want to be disappointed, meet your heroes.

The movie 'Flight' is my favorite.

[Steve Carlton]

I'm just going to go with what I see on the screen, like with Tom Cruise. It's nice when the actor is a quality person, as well (Jon Voight comes to mind). Denzel is one of my favorites for sure. I liked Crimson Tide and Man on Fire the most. Need to watch Glory.

These guys are just saying things that others people tell them to in movies.
Different in real life.

[vash]

i like his movies. but i do think he kinda acts the same throughout.

but a lot of actors do that.

I always hoped Jimmy Stewart was an exception to that rule of thumb.

I thought you were a Tom Cruise super fan?

[herr_oberst]

Pretty good impersonation
