Denzel Washington's Best Performances

IndieWire’s list of the 10 Best Denzel Washington Performances is mostly spot-on. The obvious choices are there (“Fences,” “Flight,” “He Got Game,” “Training Day,” “The Hurricane,” “Malcom X,” “Glory,” “Roman Israel, ESQ”), but what gives in not including his great turn in Ridley Scott’s “American Gangster”? Or how about his star-making performance in 1984’s “A Soldier’s Story”? Those two omissions are replaced by Tony Scott’s “Crimson Tide” (Not bad) and Carl Franklin’s absurdly overpraised “Devil In A Blue Dress.”
