Denzel Washington's Greatest Acting Performances In Recent Memory

When it comes to movies, one of my favorite actors working today is without a doubt Denzel Washington. Everything about the guy is likable, and with his high level of talent, it comes as no surprise that over the past two decades, he has become of the greatest actors working in Hollywood.
Here is a list of my top 5 favorite movies starring Denzel Washington.
I will begin with the role that finally nabbed Mr. Washington the Oscar he deserved. In the Antoine Fuqua directed film Training Day, Denzel plays the corrupt cop Detective Alonzo Harris, who makes for quite the entertaining villain.
Another fantastic film starring Denzel Washington is Philadelphia, a movie about a gay defendant who hires a homophobic lawyer, played by none other than Denzel. This movie also stars Tom Hanks.
If you have never seen 1995's Crimson Tide, then you are missing out big time. This movie stars Denzel Washington, Gene Hackman, James Gandolfini and Viggo Mortenson amongst others in a thriller based around a nuclear submarine.
In Man On Fire, Denzel Washington stars as John W. Creasy, a bodyguard for an American girl who goes on an absolute tear through the underworld of Mexico when she gets kidnapped. Loosely based on a true story, this film also stars the incredibly talented Dakota Fanning and is directed by long time Denzel Washington collaborator Tony Scott.
One other film that I feel the need to mention is the most family friendly movie on this list, and that is Remember The Titans. Based around the true story of the first racially integrated high school football team in the South, this movie is a must see.
One other movie that should certainly be mentioned is the Preachers Wife. I'm actually kidding, this is one on the list you can skip.
