Malcolm X is probably his best film, but I like Inside Man and Gladiator II very much.

I've seen Inside Man and Gladiator 2 as well, I thought he was a cool villian in the second Gladiator. I hate to say it but I haven't gotten around to watch Malcolm X yet but I'm about to since you mentioned it. I just forgot about it for a long while.

Crimson Tide

[Zivouhr]

Denzel's had a long career. Now age 70 in 2025. Same age as Liam Neeson.

Equalizer is my favorite role that he plays.
Book of Eli, he kicked @ss too.
Training Day, great thriller drama.

Never seen that one, hate to say. Speaking of Crimson Tide, his co star Gene Hackman died recently. A huge loss in the movie world.

Aside from Training Day and Man On Fire, I've seen The Pelican Brief, The Hurricane, John Q, Out Of Time, Inside Man, American Gangster, Virtuosity, Deja Vu, The Taking Of Pelham 123, Unstoppable, Safe House, The Book Of Eli, the first two Equalizers, and recently Gladiator 2. There's still many others I have to catch up on.

[DEERCOLLOPA]

John Q

[Gacivory]

Malcolm X

A close second is Devil in a Blue Dress

[Zivouhr]

I saw probably a few of Denzel's films in theaters. All his Equalizer films,
Saw in theaters:

2001 Training Day Alonzo Harris [23]
2002 John Q. John Quincy Archibald [38]
2010 The Book of Eli Eli Also producer [
2012 Safe House Tobin Frost
2014 The Equalizer Robert McCall Also producer [49]
2018 The Equalizer 2 Robert McCall [54]
2023 The Equalizer 3 Robert McCall Also producer [59]

And then on home video, saw about 50% of his films over his career. Very good actor and talent.
He won best actor Oscar for Training Day.

I love that King Kong speech!

There is some news/rumors that there could be one more Equalizer film. In Equalizer 3, he became so efficient against his enemies, although I hope if there is a part 4, there is more action shown. Cool movie though. I like how he stands up for those who can't fight back against these goons he deals with.

Actually there's going to be a 4th and 5th but after that no more according to an interview with Denzel a couple months ago.
