Hi Mark,

Big fan of Denzil's work also a big fan of yourself but having seen that list that may be at an end. How can Malcolm X not be in your top 5? It is the role which defines him, the one that separates him from the others and above all everyone knows when he won an Oscar for Training Day he didn't win it for Training Day, it was purely belated recognition for Malcolm X.

Other notable omissions are American Gangster, and Philadelphia that said I give you credit for Inside Man and Glory both good shouts.

Ricochet, completely forgot about that one! damn good film

Deja Vu is all together a bizarre, self destructive and flatly executed film - yet Denzel probably puts in one of the best performances I've ever seen, filling the void with a character both driven & awkward, injecting a great sense of uneasy charisma into every line of dialogue. He singlehandedly raises a poor project into something remarkably watchable.

I always have slight issues that his persona so dominates his roles that he is always Denzel in whatever he plays. Always good but always Denzel (e.g. even in "Hurricane", its Denzel)
Anyway, my tuppence worth - I have a soft spot for the slightly off-kilter "Fallen". Detective film with a nice twist.

He is usually pretty Likeable, however I always felt that the Training Day Oscar was a make up Oscar for him missing out earlier. My favourite Denzel film is Malcolm X but I also really like Inside Man, Dejavu was fun too if you can look past the plot.
