1. Crimson Tide is also high on my list n/t

[red dog 1]

4. I forgot about that one.

It's going up there now

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

10. Not to be a problem but I like Fallen as well

Filmed in Philly.

[PragmaticDem]

2. Philadelphia

[thbobby]

3. Cry Freedom

Apartheid has always fascinated me. Reminiscent of America. Denzel was great as Steve Biko.

6. Which one do I take down to make room for it?

[thbobby]

11. Denzel is great

I would not suggest any do not belong there. Perhaps just he did more than 10 great movies!

14. I like every Denzel Washington movie I've ever seen

and he certainly did more than 10 great movies
(but they only allow for 10 poll choices)

19. The Equalizer...

...2 Guns, Safe House, The Book of Eli, Deja Vu...

[MLAA]

5. Whichever is the last I saw! Love em all.

However the one that ends in a fight in an empty Home Depot/Lowe’s was pretty exciting.

7. Flight

Having known several alcoholics they told me it was the most powerful thing they'd ever seen. One actually quit because of that movie.

17. Flight was up there, but I took it down to make room for Crimson Tide

If it gets any more votes (via reply) I'll put it back up.

[Skittles]

8. FENCES

watching him and Viola is a HUGE treat

[rogue emissary]

9. Courage Under Fire

Since you asked for a favorite movie and not a favorite role. I had to go with Courage Under Fire. Many of the films you listed in the poll are great but this was an all-around work of art.

I'm a sucker for an unreliable narrator story. Which is why I loved how the stories of each soldier were pretty much the same but the little details mattered. Totally made the difference in deciding if Meg Ryan's character was a hero, coward or something in between.

It was also one of the first films I think of that really tackled what soldiers family go through when a loved one comes back but is damaged by their experiences.

15. You talked me into it...It's now a poll choice

(You can vote for it now)

12. IMO, could just stand there for two hours and I'd be happy.

Love him.

[Bleacher Creature]

13. I've always wondered why he's never done a comedy.

I'm not suggesting that he go full Robert DeNiro and accept whatever garbage script that pays the bills (seriously, Showtime? Little Fockers?), but something lighter would be nice.

In any event, count me in for Glory and Philadelphia.

[red dog 1]

16. Robert DeNiro is a great actor, imo

and I loved "Meet the Parents" and "Meet the Fockers" as much as any of the great dramas DeNiro has done, including "Raging Bull"..which was possibly his best film.

(I'm not sure Denzel Washington WANTS to do a comedy)

[MaryMagdaline]

18. Mississippi Masala

Great movie

I love Denzel but not action movies.
