Highlighting the Top 16 Finishers of My 100 Favorite Actors Tournament
I’ll be giving my ranking of the actor all-time, my favorite performance of theirs, an honorable mention, my least favorite performance, and a performance that I still need to see.
Fences
August Wilson created a truly moving piece of literature with his play Fences, and Denzel Washington’s direction and the performances of the film’s featured actors do a quality job of capturing that work on the screen, achieving a deserved place among the Greatest Films of All Time.
The Tragedy of Macbeth
Denzel Washington carries The Tragedy of Macbeth on his shoulders with the help of Frances McDormand and the rest of the supporting cast and an incredibly well-crafted production design and cinematographic offering.
American Gangster
Topical issues handled with tact and an absolute powerhouse performance from Denzel Washington are the building blocks that have made American Gangster into one of the Greatest Films of All Time.
