You forgot his movie “License to Kill”

Denzel Washington was never in a feature film entitled ‘License to Kill’. He was in a TV movie ‘License to Kill’ in 1984- not included on the list as it was not released in cinemas.

I have always respected denzel Washington as a person and an actor. He keeps a low-profile and still grounded with career and personal.

Hello,
Do anyone know the title of the Denzel movie when he played a prisoner on death row? In this movie a young man was given an assignment to interview a person on death row. Please if anyone know the movie that Im referring to, post it.
9. Want to know it | October 23rd, 2009 at 6:51 am
I’m not sure what that movie could be- I haven’t watched all of Denzel’s films. It could be ‘The Hurricane’.
10. m williams | November 12th, 2009 at 1:50 am
Denzel washington is the best actor of all time, he’s the micheal jordan of acting.
11. Ms G | December 5th, 2009 at 1:44 am
You also forgot Denzel’s movie Hard Lesson with Lynn Whitfield in 1986… maybe you should research all his movies then update and post your list…we want to be sure to give Denzel all the recognition due him for all his movies
12. Want to know it | December 5th, 2009 at 2:05 am
Ms G
As I stated above this list only contains feature films starring Denzel Washington. Hard Lessons (also called The George McKenna Story) was a television movie- not released at cinemas. Therefore it is not part of the list.

My son, Jeremiah is trying to complete a project on Mr. Washington. When he came home from school today he began to ask me questions about Mr. Washington. Although, I could answer some of Jeremiah’s questions, I could not answer all of them. Then it dawned on me that I have a computer and could google him. So, here we are on this website. Jeremiah has now answered all of his questions and hopefully gets extra credit. With all the time and efford I have also put into the project I want some extra too (L.O.L.). On a more serious note I have followed Mr. Washington’s career for a number of years. He is no doubt one of the best actor’s out there, not just because of the roles he chooses to perform but because of the type of man he has grown to be. In closing, Thank You, Mr. Washington from Evelina Short & Jeremiah Harvey of Cheraw, South Carolina.

what is name of movie with him as a head of correctional officer and kid gets hired and he tries training him to be evil because denzel plays as a “bad guy” but it shows him at the market and hes all nice hes just evil when it comes to work…came out a yr or two ago I think good prison movie its not “gangsta”
15. Tusdy Edwards | January 2nd, 2010 at 11:39 am
I enjoy watching Mr. Washington he is very gifted, I feel that God has really blessed him with a great gift. I love that he is a family man and you don’t hear all that drama about him and other women, I believe he is a great role model and most of all and example of a strong BLACK Man doing things the right way keep up the good work that you have done so far Mr. Washington.

24. yalonda | March 1st, 2010 at 5:06 pm
I love Denzel. I started a collection of his movies about five years ago and my collection keeps growing.
25. lisandra | March 4th, 2010 at 3:59 pm

27. DOREEN AMANGA M | March 15th, 2010 at 8:46 am
he is such a talent..
28. Cris McNally | April 19th, 2010 at 10:02 pm
Wow !! What can I say about this actor ??
I started watching Denzel’s films some years ago, and I just can’t stop appreciating his work anymore. It doesn’t matter if he plays big or small roles, all his films , I believe, is worth watching because we can see how he has changed and got better and better, so now ,there is no word to describe the actor he has become. I intend to buy all his films at some point. From my collection ,the ones I absolutely adore are “The Hurricane” and “Remember the Titans”. But I love them all really. Denzel, congratulations, and I hope that the kind of man you are keeps on being transparent in your work .
29. Shirley | May 2nd, 2010 at 6:11 pm
I first saw Denzel in A Soldier’s Story (1984). He was excellent. Then in Glory (1989), Denzel was superb. He should have won an Oscar. He has an excellent body of work. I’m so glad that Denzel is playing more risky roles now. I think the best is yet to come.
30. Carin | May 2nd, 2010 at 7:27 pm
One of the greatest actors of all time who had to wait too long for an Oscar. Puts 100% in whatever role he is playing and has stayed grounded with a good supportive wife and children. My favourite films are “The Hurricane”. “American Ganster” and “Antwone Fisher” Great acting!!!
31. raquel | May 14th, 2010 at 5:03 pm
i love you denzel washington you are a great actor!!!
32. Janice Mason | May 19th, 2010 at 6:12 pm
You forgot his very first movie entitled “Wilma”
33. Want to know it | May 20th, 2010 at 1:12 pm
As I’ve stated above, TV movies are not included on this particular list.
34. Janice Mason | May 20th, 2010 at 6:12 pm
I don’t believe ” Wilma “was made for TV.
35. Janice Mason | May 20th, 2010 at 6:23 pm
Oh yes it was. My Bad
36. Felicia | May 22nd, 2010 at 6:28 pm
Having a Denzel movie marathon. Still missing a few titles but plan on getting very soon. My favorite movie thus far would be Training Day. Keep up the good work Mr. Washington. Well back to my marathon
37. jahaira | May 29th, 2010 at 2:38 am

38. Want to know it | May 31st, 2010 at 12:35 pm
I’m afraid I’m unsure Jahaira. It’s very hard to find movies from vague descriptions.
39. Derek | June 9th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
