The Best Samuel L. Jackson Performances Throughout The Years

By Scott Thomas

If you want to discuss prolific actors that are currently churning out movies year after year, one actor that is on the top of the list is without a doubt, Samuel L. Jackson. Samuel L. Jackson has been in well over 100 major motion pictures, which far exceeds the number that most major actors have in their whole careers. Clearly the guy loves to work and we salute him for it.

While everyone has their opinion on the actor, this article will cite my favorite roles that Samuel L. Jackson has played.

Two words: Jules Winnfield. There are few characters in the past few decades that touch the awesomeness that this Samuel L. Jackson gangster had in Pulp Fiction. Jules Winnfield gave way to many of the great quotes in any Quentin Tarantino film.

Another movie of Samuel L. Jackson's which I absolutely loved was Deep Blue Sea. I know, it is an incredibly cheesy movie and Mr. Jackson may not be on screen for as long as LL Cool J, but that is part of what makes this movie so entertaining.

Another movie of his that is certainly worthy of praise is none other than Patriot Games. As far as the Jack Ryan saga goes, this film slightly edges out clear and present danger in my opinion.

Another Samuel L. Jackson which was great but was limited in its release was Black Snake Moan. This is quite the controversial film, which also stars Christina Ricci and takes place in the deep South.

Finally, I have to include one film from the Star Wars saga on this list. While these films never lived up to the greatness of the original three, Sammy played the part of Mace Windu to a tee.

These are just some of the many films that Mr. Jackson has starred in to this day. - 40725
