My choice is obviously Man on Fire.

+100. At least someone has a good eye for great movies, and not popcorn flicks.

Next someone is going to say Aeon Flux needs a Oscar because its a good popcorn flick HA.

Taken has got the vote for me because on Neeson's shire class.

Man on fire hands down. It's one of my favorite movies of all time and when I went to Blu it was one of the first movies on my list to upgrade. I don't own Taken and probably won't until I can find it for like 5 bucks. I did enjoy Taken a lot though but nowhere near the same level as I did with Man on Fire. For me, Taken was a watch once type movie but Man on fire gets tons of replay especially for the audio.

Man on Fire is a great movie? Man on Fire is not a popcorn flick? Really?

Maybe you should tolerate opposing views, especially considering the pretty even split in numbers here.

Eek? Many would agree that they are the same caliber of actor, despite the fact that neither has great range. Washington has a deeper filmography, but that doesn't mean he's that much better. It's not like we're comparing Washington and Shia L.

tough call, both are great. i went with Taken because the visual style of Man on Fire can be a little overbearing at times. denzel is good as always, hes an actor who is always interesting to watch in whatever he does. liam neeson was great in Taken because it was just like "holy crap i had no idea liam neeson had this in him"

Your lack of punctuation makes it difficult

Oh, and my comments were in direct response to what you stated. They haven't misconstrued a thing.
