Jurassic Park...


... before he became an actor for hire and started accepting any old paycheque for stuff like Snakes On A Plane, Shaft, Star Wars, S.W.A.T, XxX, Terminator 3, Jumper and the RoboCop remake.

The best movie he's involved in is The Avengers, followed by Jumper or The Incredibles. I'm not a fan of his.

I have seen a lot of his films, and enjoyed a lot of his roles from those movies. I like 1408, Django Unchained, and things like that, but they aren't my favorite moments for him specifically. I also enjoy him as Nick Fury, but it's not really a role that lets him show a lot of personality. I'd say his best role was in Pulp Fiction, the role was literally written for him, and he took it and ran.

Any takers for Snakes on a Plane? I recall hearing that the producers changed the name of the movie when Jackson objected to something bland like "Terror at 30,000 Feet". He insisted on going straight to the real issue and after all, what could be worse than an airplane full of venomous snakes?

That's just plain cruel.

Pulp Fiction is a fun movie and a great performance, but I still stand by Black Snake Moan as Jackson's best.

Best movie he was ever in was Goodfellas but that does not really count because he has such a small part. His character was Stacks Edwards.

Pulp Fiction was definitely his best movie

A funny movie he was in was Loaded Weapon 1

His best movie and performance was Pulp Fiction. Ok now that we got that out of the way.

My Favorite Movie that he is the lead: The Negotiator

My Favorite Performance of his: Django Unchained (Him and Leo should have been nominated instead of Waltz) (Honorable mention: Jackie Brown)

My Favorite Cameo of his: Out Of Sight

Y'know, I really loved him in The Long Kiss Goodnight.

Obviously not the greatest film he's been in but eff it.

Not his best performance, as it is only a supporting role (though with a couple of key scenes), but a consistently underrated movie Sam appeared in the same year as Pulp Fiction is Boaz Yakin's Fresh (1994). Gritty and clever. Love it. Kasi Lemmon's directorial debut Eve's Bayou (1997) is another good, underseen film of Sam's.

Ah, yes. I forgot about Jackie Brown. He was good in that one.

I don't think Jackson will ever top his work in PULP FICTION. I have to give honorable mentions to JACKIE BROWN, 187, JUNGLE FEVER, and COACH CARTER.

Re: Whats the greatest Samuel L. Jackson Movie?
 
I loved FRESH...Sean Nelson was amazing, but I thought Jackson's role was kind of thankless.

Citizen Kane Hodder 02-10-14 07:15 PM

If by Samuel L. Jackson film, you mean any film with him in it, then Goodfellas is the answer.

If you meant a film where he had a more significant role, then Pulp Fiction.

mikeython1 02-10-14 09:04 PM

I am going to post this in here don't if belongs but this is only place I could think of.

Many good choices. Surprised no one has mentioned the following:

Sydney a.k.a. Hard Eight
Changing Lanes

Re: Whats the greatest Samuel L. Jackson Movie?
 
Without any doubts: Pulp fiction. A time to kill and Die Hard with a Vengeance are pretty good.

Can't deny the majesty of Pulp Fiction.

Though his brief performance in The Other Guys had me in stitches. "For the bushes?"

Hey I definetly have to agree, he's great in a lot of movies but this is the best movie he has been a main character in.

PULP FICTION!

Re: Whats the greatest Samuel L. Jackson Movie?
 
Definitly Pulp Fiction. Without a doubt.

dadgumblah 02-21-14 12:59 AM

Two favorites that aren't usually mentioned right off the bat are Unbreakable (2000) and Formula 51 (2001). Watching the latter especially, with Samuel Jackson playing golf in a kilt is a hoot!

Pulp fiction, hands down!

windsoc 02-21-14 12:38 PM

My top films with Samuel Are:

Pulp Fiction
Loaded Weapon
Die Hard with a Vengeance

The relationship he has with his co-stars in all three films are just wonderful but by far my favourite line involving him is:

John McClane: I'll tell you what your problem is, you don't like me 'cause you're a racist!

Zeus Carver: What?

John McClane: You're a racist! You don't like me 'cause I'm white!

Zeus Carver: I don't like you because you're gonna get me *killed*!

Anything with him in haha. He always plays his roles very well but its got to be Pulp Fiction has to be!

Re: Whats the greatest Samuel L. Jackson Movie?
 
Pulp Fiction is his greatest performance.
Jackie Brown, A Time to Kill, Django Unchained and Lakeview Terrace are some great films in which he plays big roles.
