shadow of death I will fear no evil for

he’s played the best of the best and the
baddest of the bad
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for Denzel
Washington’s top ten performances see
y’all what y’all in this world has
either one or two chains either you
somebody nobody number 10 captain with
Whittaker flight an Oscar nomination
already this is gonna be a good list
earning his first Academy Award not in
over ten years
Denzel plays a pilot struggling with
various addictions I’m drunk right now
because I’m an alcoholic who saves lives
after his plane starts a hellish descent
what follows is a harrowing story of
personal demons and doing what’s right
with Denzel steering away with one of
his bravest and most complex
performances it’s one wild ride no one
could have landed that plane like I did
no one number nine coach Herman Boone
Remember the Titans I’m coach Boone I’m
gonna tell you all about how much fun
you’re gonna have this season keeping
the drama rolling is Washington’s role
as the football coach in a racially
divided school as the team struggles to
make it as a unit Washington shows off
his skills as a speech maker with some
rousing pep talks and okay if you like
each other or not but you will respect
each other and maybe
they’re gonna play this game like men
finally finding common ground in the
game they love the Titans managed to
beat the odds and come out on top in no
small part thanks to denzel’s work when
I was 15 years old I lost my mother and
my father in the same month Ronny same
month 12 brothers and sisters I was the
youngest one but they were all looking
up to me now I wasn’t ready yet either
but they needed me your team needs you
tonight you’re the colonel
you’re gonna command your troops tonight
you understand is twins right 48 0 read
the stove number 8 Joe Miller
Philadelphia moving away from racially
sensitive pieces denzel dives into the
role of this conflicted lawyer who
defends homosexual ate supper Tom Hanks
evades with a critical look at how
society treats other sexualities out of
fear and miscommunication the fact of
the matter is when they fired Andrew
Beckett because he had AIDS they broke
the law while Hanks may have been the
one to grab the Oscar Washington’s
performance is nothing to snub your nose
act as he goes through a visible
transformation along the way number 7
Lieutenant Commander Ron hunter Crimson
Tide in my humble opinion
in the nuclear world the true enemy is
war itself this underwater epic pits
Denzel against Gene Hackman as the
assistant commander of a submarine armed
with nuclear weapons when an incomplete
message regarding the launch on Russia
comes into play both leads clash over
what is right and wrong with lives
hanging in the balance if we launch and
we’re wrong what’s left of Russia is
going to launch at us there will be a
nuclear holocaust beyond imagination
Washington’s portrayal of a good-hearted
man with boundless determination helps
ensure you’ll be talking about this one
long after it’s over god help if you’re
wrong if I’m wrong then we’re at war
god help us all
number six Frank Lucas American gangster
stepping into a villain role
Denzel brings his intensity to real-life
criminal Frank Lucas well you really
Frank Lucas says right there my passport
I mean who you represent me by taking
over the heroin trade during the Vietnam
War
Lucas rises to become New York’s most
fearsome gangster only to fall from
grace when he tangles with honest cop
Russell Crowe Frank Lewis don’t run from
nobody what we love about this
performance is that Denzel makes clear
how much respect and honor albeit
twisted means to Lucas’s character most
important thing in business is honesty
integrity hard work family never
forgetting where we came from
number five Rubin hurricane Carter the
hurricane putting himself back in the
sports drama limelight
Denzel portrays this middleweight boxer
turned prisoner as he deals with twenty
years behind bars recounting how racism
and the failings of the court landed him
in jail on a triple murder rap look at
the two new girls in a white car any two
will do he’s eventually freed by the
love of a Canadian foster family he put
me in prison
denzel’s angry but focused efforts
earned him a Golden Globe and an Oscar
nomination and we are not surprised
number four
detective Keith Frazier inside man I
don’t take this person in this white
kiss my black ass okay Spike Lee’s most
successful film called for one hell of a
protagonist and no one was better than
Denzel to play NYPD hostage negotiator
Keith Frazier tell you what my ass is
covered sporting I would not get too
comfortable
how are you know I got the Cable Guy
coming on Wednesday what we love about
this role is that Denzel has gone on
record to say he used his experience
playing Brutus and Julius Caesar to
really encapsulate the character and you
can see that in the choices he makes and
the speeches he delivers thank you very
much I’m I’m learning so much today you
know number three
detective Alonzo Harris training day I
see you down here again I’m gonna take
your vehicle I’m gonna make you walk
home I’m gonna let the homeboys up the
hill run a train on your girlfriend you
know what a train is don’t you this one
earned Denzel an Oscar in a departure
from his usual roles
Denzel plays the corrupt part is nails
no-nonsense badass Alonzo Harris who’s
leading rookie cop Ethan Hawke on the
longest day of his life this is a
newspaper right it’s 90% bullshit what
is entertaining that’s why I read it
because it entertains me you won’t let
me read it
so you entertain me with your bullshit
playing a rogue la policemen who’ll do
anything to get his way
Denzel is manipulative magnetic and
over-the-top King Kong ain’t got me but
he’s also a broken unsympathetic and
repugnant character no wonder we can’t
get enough oh you mother okay all right
I’m putting cases on all you bitches
number two private silas trip glory
winning washington his first Oscar is
this Civil War drama what you’re doing
since then I run for president even this
early in his career denzel brings
forward the charisma and heart of one of
the many soldiers that formed the 54th
Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry the
first formal all african-american US
Army unit be able to teach you it would
be my pleasure
hey look at snowflake here one of the
film’s many highlights
denzel’s performance and thralls us and
makes us choked up at this beautiful
story of sacrifice and overcoming
adversity before we unveil our number
one pick here are a few honorable
mentions whatever rank you flipped the
gunshot holds no fear save the gunshot
holds no fear see no no I don’t accept
that ever beginning of the end don’t it
change the way people think and things
will never be the same
what’s the government’s to the action
number one Malcolm X Malcolm X 400 years
is long enough you’ve been sitting down
and laying down and bowing down for 400
years I think it’s time to stand up this
powerful biographical piece is
considered one of the greats
thanks to Spike Lee’s vision and Denzel
Washington’s acting one of his most
commanding performances to date Denville
brings the chilling and inspiring
character of Malcolm X back to life we
didn’t land on Plymouth Rock Plymouth
Rock landed on us portraying his journey
from the streets all the way to Mecca
with incredible precision
despite the dramatization Washington is
convincing in all aspects of the
controversial leaders existence this is
the man that hates you he tells you he
loves you but he doesn’t do anything for
you he tells you to for him at the mouth
tells you to faint and sing and shout
and hook for something in the hereafter
we can have the right now brother we can
have a great night to reply you later so
