On Friday, Will Leitch and Tim Grierson over at Vulture Devouring Culture published a guide on where to watch Denzel’s films: Want to Watch Some Denzel? Here’s a Streaming Guide to All 44 of His Movies.
Scenes from some of the films are embedded in the article. So, of course, I had to rewatch the ending of Man On Fire. And, of course, I started crying as soon as Pita screamed, “CREASY!” I can’t help it.
Here are Leitch and Grierson’s rankings. I was a little surprised to see The Magnificent Seven ranked so far down on the list. I’d like to hear your thoughts about that and the rest of their rankings.
