Anything with Samuel L Jackson in it

I have to admit outside of Samuel L Jackson I love Frozen, Rio, all of the Housewives, First 48, anything on the ID channel and Boomerang with Eddie Murphy. Oh and I also love the classic Jungle Book. I was talking with someone today about how realistic the animations are in Rio. Those little birdies were so realistic! Except for the talking part. But their movements were spot on!

Samuel Jackson is really great. I particularly liked him with Bruce Willis in Die Hard with a Vengeance.

Was seeing snatches of a movie on "snakes on a plane" with Samuel Jackson in it tonight. Must say this guy has plenty of presence in any of his movies. Definitely a formidable actor.

Yes. Samuel is my 2nd favourite actor after Denzel Washington. :smile:
I'm a great fan of Denzel Washington too. His movie with Gene Hackman - Crimson Tide - and The Bone Collector were definitely two movies that stand out for me. He's a very versatile and dynamic actor.

Samuel L Jackson is a very good actor. I saw a post online concerning his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in which Coulson says 'Sir, HYDRA have boarded all our helli-carriers. How do you feel about these snakes on our planes'. It was very amusing.

I'm guessing you have already seen Samuel Jackson's iconic performance in Pulp Fiction (1994). He is among my favorite actors but I do wish that he did not take on so many minor or supporting roles instead of searching for lead roles because he has a lot to offer (as Genesis said in this thread, he has strong presence). For this reason I would suggest you check out Coach Carter from 2005, as it gives Jackson the opportunity to build a character with more depth and screen-time, allowing the viewer to build a deeper connection and taking Jackson seriously (unlike snakes on a plane).

On a similar note, if you are truly a Samuel Jackson fan, you should check out Lakeview Terrace (2008), in which he is also the lead and is given a lot of freedom to build his character over the course of the movie. It is not blockbuster or even well-rated on imdb (6.2), but I like that it gives a setting for Jackson to show his interpretation of a character with an unpredictably crazy and scary side.

Pulp Fiction is an awesome movie, Samuel Jackson made it great :) John Travolta was pretty good too, even though I don't really like him in general.

That IS a tasty burger!

I'm going to have to check out Lakeview Terrace, SJ definitely can be very light and funny, and I bet he can flip a switch and be one of the scariest dudes out there. He was more of the funny-scary guy in Pulp Fiction, I want to see the darkside - where if you were the actor playing opposite you might pee in your pants kind of scary. I can totally see him having that side.

Thank you for mentioning of such acting size ...Samuel is definitely among a few of my most favorite actors ever. It's hard to single out one of his best performance ...but I'll point to two (Pulp Fiction is out of any need to comment ...generally, not just his role):
- "Caveman's Valentine" ....extraordinary art of acting.

and

- "Django Unchained" ...

Coach Carter
Said to be inspired from a true event. Coach Carter not just a coach but encourage his student to improve their academic grade before they can compete in a junior high basketball league. This movie really inspiring.
