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 last of the mohicans.

Re: Whats the greatest Samuel L. Jackson Movie?
The best movie he's involved in is The Avengers, followed by Jumper or The Incredibles. I'm not a fan of his.

Re: Whats the greatest Samuel L. Jackson Movie?
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.

Re: Whats the greatest Samuel L. Jackson Movie?
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?

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.
http://www.wearysloth.com/Gallery/ActorsJ/8591-7534.jpg Pulp Fiction was definitely his best movie http://s3.amazonaws.com/rapgenius/Sa...lp-Fiction.jpg A funny movie he was in was Loaded Weapon 1 http://www.starwarped.net/files/othe...s-Luger-14.jpg |
Re: Whats the greatest Samuel L. Jackson Movie?
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

Re: Whats the greatest Samuel L. Jackson Movie?
Y'know, I really loved him in The Long Kiss Goodnight.
Obviously not the greatest film he's been in but eff it. |
Pulp Fiction, no contest
But my second favorite is Jungle Fever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTA3qGQouaU |
Pulp Fiction
Django Unchained Goodfellas Kill Bill 2 + Jackie Brown + Jurassic Park + 1408 Star Wars I Star Wars II - Star Wars III + XXX - |
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.

Re: Whats the greatest Samuel L. Jackson Movie?
Ah, yes. I forgot about Jackie Brown. He was good in that one.
|
Re: Whats the greatest Samuel L. Jackson Movie?
Black Snake Moan
Unbreakable The Negotiator |

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.
|
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. |
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.
|
Re: Whats the greatest Samuel L. Jackson Movie?
Can't deny the majesty of Pulp Fiction.
Though his brief performance in The Other Guys had me in stitches. "For the bushes?" |

Re: Whats the greatest Samuel L. Jackson Movie?
PULP FICTION!
|
Re: Whats the greatest Samuel L. Jackson Movie?
Definitly Pulp Fiction. Without a doubt.
|
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!
|
Re: Whats the greatest Samuel L. Jackson Movie?
Pulp fiction, hands down!
|
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*! |
Re: Whats the greatest Samuel L. Jackson Movie?
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. |
