Ah, Samuel L. Jackson. He's an actor who is so identifiable and talented, he's unforgettable. He has some of the coolest lines and gives good performances. Good job, Samuel. You deserve it.
"But I'm tryin' Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd." - Pulp Fiction You can really feel the internal conflict that his character is going through in that moment.
This guy is a great actor. I swear, we need to have an all-black version of Dracula and Jackson should play Van Helsing. It'd be the role of a lifetime.
Him and Michael Sheen were both amazing in that, Trinity was ok but a lot of the other cast were pretty weak, cheapens the film somewhat.... the real missing performance is SUNSET LIMITED.....
I was gonna flip until I saw this video was uploaded in May 2012, because I was like where is Stephen from Django, that's gotta be one of his absolute best performances.

3:48 That's not entirely correct. In the Ultimate universe, which came out many years before there was a Marvel Studios, Nick Fury was purposefully reimagined to look like Samuel L. Jackson, and the movie version was based off of the Ultimates version.
I look at the top 3 and he was always co starring Bruce Willis :D Awesome :D I think that his performance on GTA San Andreas could have been in the list as well. It is just voice acting (he was Officer Tempenny) but his voice made the main GTA SA villain kick ass.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKING SNAKES ON THIS MOTHERFUCKING PLANE! everybody strap in we're about to open some fucking windows
No he isn't the coolest actor ever. That title belongs solely to Morgan 'God' Freeman, the greatest man ever. When Morgan played God in Bruce Almighty it should have said Morgan Freeman as himself in the credits.
Samuel L Jackson is one seriously cool actor though and is in my top 5 of all time easily. He's one of those who can make a really bad film good just by being in it and a really good film into a classic.
Morgan Freeman just does any old shit these days and the characters he has played in recent films were poor and not very believable. Samuel L Jackson is way cooler than Morgan Freeman
Long Kiss Goodnight but a lot of my favorites are those small roles he had like in Menace to Society. He had one of the best scenes in the movie. Coming to America. Unforgettable in that movie. Juice. Another great small role. Feel like i might be forgetting some.
yeah, he always steals the show, even in GoodFellas....he only had one or two lines, but they were funny as hell....Coming to America, his scene on School Daze was the best part, and let's not forget Jungle Fever. i watched that just to see Gator dance and talk shit.
seriously ?!?! snakes on a plane, mace windu, nick fury ??!? Lame characters, barely salvageable by the sheer awesomeness of SLJ if you want a small but still incredibly strong role try his role as Gator, Wesley Snipes brother in Jungle Fever. As for major roles, try "No Good Deed (the house on turk street)", "Coach Carter" and "Black Snake Moan"
TOP 10 "SAMUEL L JACKSON" MOVIES 1. A TIME TO KILL 2. ONE EIGHT SEVEN 3. THE NEGOTIATOR 4. CHANGING LANES 5. PULP FICTION 6. SWAT 7. LAKEVIEW TERRACE 8. COACH CARTER 9. FREEDOMLAND 10. RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
Sam Jackson is cinematically frozen into one DNA acting strain as a reverse method actor - no matter what role he assumes. On one hand, fundamentally, he can be seen as a great actor because he is unlike anyone else, has mono traits overlaid on all his roles, plays no other diversified character types and uses the same tone, timbre and latitude throughout any script. On the other hand, this can also dub him as a bad actor because he never takes on anything opposite or alien to his legacy style in all movies. if he does take on something different, the character is immediately dominated by the base template of Sam Jackson. Turned all the way up he is Vincent Vega...toned all the way down he's Mace Windu, which is really a calm Vincent Vega finding his path in the diner scene in Pulp Fiction. Mace Windu turned up and about to slaughter the Dark Emperor is Vincent Vega again. All temperatures in between are balanced between these 2 characters. Sam Jackson is the only real-life actor who isn't really acting at all. It's not that Samuel L. Jackson is a great and unique actor or a bad actor, he just channels the energy of every common Black dude in America. Hit the streets of 'anytown' USA and you will find thousands of Sam Jacksons.
I think he's really good as Carl Lee Hailey in A Time to Kill, and it's a pretty different character than the majority he has done. The only moment the classic Jackson comes out is in the "I hope they burn in hell" scene, and it's was appropriate in the scene. I think it's a criminally overlooked performance of his. I thought he was really good in Unbreakable as well, there's a real sense of sadness and melancholy in his performance. Black Snake Moan is another. Point is, I do think he can act. But I think he's so good at bringing down the great vengeance and furious anger that the other side of him is overlooked.
While I was watching The Book Of Eli this morning I was thinking in these 2 types of actor: the chamaleons like Gary Oldman and Johny Depp, and the guys that only need to appear on the screen to make movies work like Samuel L. Jackson and Jack Nicholson. Sometimes people need to be told "remember Zorg (5th Element)? Gary Oldman... remember Drexl Spivey (True Romance)? Gary Oldman too". The guy's awesome!! He completely transforms in another person. On the other hand we have guys like Samuel L. Jackson and Jack Nicholson, I bet some scenes and movies have been written taking their personalities as the only starting point... and they always work!! Think in As Good As It Gets as an example, I just can't picture a better face/person/actor for the Melvin Udall role. I'm not saying which type of actor is better, I'm just saying that it's great having them to tell us all kind of stories. Also I'm only mentioning some real good actors, not Arnie or Tom Cruise who insist in being the same person in every movie they appear in.
I'm sure that there's a nerd out there that have always pointed it out, but the character was redesigned for Sam Jackson before the movies, shameless, but it worked to perfection.
Putting Mace Windu on the list is a joke. Tell me one thing about his character other than the purple lightsaber. Tell me one scene where he just is totally awesome or does something that no other actor could have done.
He killed Jango Fett and is the first Jedi to fight Darth Sideous (I know there are 3 other Jedi Knights with him, but they die quickly, so Mace Windu is the first to last longer in a duel against Darth Sideous). Mace Windu fought well against Darth Sideous, unarmed him, and was in great position to kill him. If Anakin did not interfere and sliced his hand off, Mace Windu would have killed Darth Sideous and order would be restored to the galaxy. Mace Windu is one of the most powerful Jedi Masters in the Galaxy, second only to Yoda.
You didn't say anything about his character.. you just summarized what happened in the movie, the point is that character had no backstory or any kind of personality.. tbh NONE of the characters in episode 1-3 had ANY kind of personalities those were the worst films ever made
Ah, Samuel L. Jackson. He's an actor who is so identifiable and talented, he's unforgettable. He has some of the coolest lines and gives good performances. Good job, Samuel. You deserve it.

This guy is a beast when he is on screen!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗 Just as much as Sam Jackson rocks!!! He is the coolest guy in the world!!! 😎😎😎
I agree ,my all time fav actor

His performance in Coach Carter should at least get an honorable mention.
We often joke about what it would be like to have Samuel L. Jackson as our boss at work. Being yelled at would never be so much fun.
Samuel L. Jackson: The man of many movies. He's so hard to forget.
Coach Carter?
I KNOW THAT WAS A GREAT PERFORMANCE!
never seen must I see him
Frihman coach carter and shaft should both be on this list! Not great movies by any means, but great performances in my opinion.
After he puts on his Super Suit
His performance as Mr Glass is amazing
I have to say, his role in "unthinkable" was the best IMO. Its a very underrated movie.
Him and Michael Sheen were both amazing in that, Trinity was ok but a lot of the other cast were pretty weak, cheapens the film somewhat.... the real missing performance is SUNSET LIMITED.....
Officer Tenpenny, best video game villain ever. Samuel L freaking killed that role.
I think this is only for movie roles.
Titan Blaximus
For video games, he played Officer Tenpenny.
For anime, he played Afro Samurai.
Stephen from Django should've been at least in the top 4
Django came out after this video was put up.
Seeing how this video was published back in 2012, and Django came out in 2013.
Emanuel Campbell Django came out on Christmas of 2012
Papa Lannister And this video was published in May of 2012. Your point is irreverent, and mine still stands.
I didn't know when it came out, dude. Not a big deal. Nobody cares
I was gonna flip until I saw this video was uploaded in May 2012, because I was like where is Stephen from Django, that's gotta be one of his absolute best performances.

I also like him as Lucius Best / Frozone in _The Incredibles._
He should be in every Disney movie lol
Django surely would be here now, I think on the 2nd place. But A time to kill is missing!
How did this guy only get one Oscar nomination when is one of the most powerful men on screen?
We need a non-ebonic comedy with Morgan Freeman, Samuel L. Jackson, Keith David, Lawrence Fishburn and Denzel Washington where they just talk for the entire movie
they need to update this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One Eight Seven!
#1 Frank Tenpenny
ding ding ding !
ah. Officer Tenpenny. The cop I loved killing the most.
"The long kiss goodnight". One of my favorite Samuel L Jackson performances. Plus "187". Small bit in "School Daze" was also awesome.
They actually drew Nick Fury to look like Sam L Jackson BEFORE he was ever even cast in the role, that why they picked him for it
I thought he was white in the comics
Oh yeah hes white in the regular universe (kinda looks like the Hoff) but its the ultimate universe where has black
Well I think the samuel jackson version is better
Yeah me too :) its certainly worked better for the movies too
Incredible. I was just thinking about S L Jackson's turn as a DJ in Lee's superb 1989 effort Do the Right Thing and presto, here he is! Good work!
He's funny as hell in the Boondocks!
You know you are watching a good movie if Tarantino directs it and Samuel L. Jackson is in it.
What about The Long Kiss Goodnight? Classic
Honorable Mention - Gin Rummy, The Boondocks; Elmo McElroy, Formula 51; Carl Lee Hailey, A Time To Kill; Mitch Henessey, The Long Kiss Goodnight
Snakes on a Plane is a JOKE of a fucking movie!!! A TIME TO KILL SHOULD BE ON THIS LIST!!! hell probably even number 2!!!
1. Pulp Fiction (obviosly)
2. Jackie Brown
3. Do the Right Thing
4. Die Hard: With a Vengeance
5. The Negotiator
I think that, if this list is ever updated, then his role in Django Unchained should be included.
And also the hatefull 8
“Who is that nigga on that nag?!”
And you CANT forget him in JUNGLE FEVER ..CLASSIC PERFORMANCE
no coach carter?
Gator on jungle fever was my favorite Samuel Jackson movie but he is an excellent actor in every role he performs in.

My favorite movie with Sam Jackson is Mitch Hennessy from Long Kiss Good Night!
Gator - Jungle Fever
If you've ever had a crack addict in your family, you know how good his performance was.
School Daze
Mr. Jackson played the part of a resident "local" in a college town. Similar to Gator in Jungle Fever, this was remarkably lifelike in many small college towns in the South.

MY FAVORITE PERFORMANCE EVERYONE OF HIS PERFORMANCE. HE'S JUST A "BRILLIANT " ACTOR . WITH A "SWEET " PERSONALITY 🌹
you forgot John Shaft in the Shaft remake
I "saw" Samuel L. Jackson for the first time in the Incredibles. I still can't get his voice out of my head. "Michell, where is my supersuit?"
Mace Windu shouldn't be on here. That performance was awful. Which wasn't entirely his fault
Excuse me??? Mace Mothafukin Windu is my favourite performance of his, next to Nick Fury

Morgan Freeman just does any old shit these days and the characters he has played in recent films were poor and not very believable. Samuel L Jackson is way cooler than Morgan Freeman
It's funny because i'm pretty sure Sam's mentor in acting was Freeman. They are both great but Morgan is more talented because of his experience.
Happy 75th Birthday to that living legend.

Lame characters, barely salvageable by the sheer awesomeness of SLJ
if you want a small but still incredibly strong role try his role as Gator, Wesley Snipes brother in Jungle Fever.
As for major roles, try "No Good Deed (the house on turk street)", "Coach Carter" and "Black Snake Moan"
Nick Fury is a beast wdym?
Mace Windu was badass
I am so glad to see that his role in Unbreakable is #2, it is such an underrated movie and he gave a breathtaking performance in it.
where the fuck is Django Unchained!
Watch the date of the video, genius
His best performance, honestly, is the heartfelt, tough but loving and fatherly Coach Carter.

Sam Jackson is cinematically frozen into one DNA acting strain as a reverse method actor - no matter what role he assumes. On one hand, fundamentally, he can be seen as a great actor because he is unlike anyone else, has mono traits overlaid on all his roles, plays no other diversified character types and uses the same tone, timbre and latitude throughout any script. On the other hand, this can also dub him as a bad actor because he never takes on anything opposite or alien to his legacy style in all movies. if he does take on something different, the character is immediately dominated by the base template of Sam Jackson.

You mean Jules.. Vincent is John Travolta.
Yes - you're correct - i had 'em reversed.
Ok, thanks for the clarification, Oh well, everyone gets shit wrong.
I think he's really good as Carl Lee Hailey in A Time to Kill, and it's a pretty different character than the majority he has done. The only moment the classic Jackson comes out is in the "I hope they burn in hell" scene, and it's was appropriate in the scene. I think it's a criminally overlooked performance of his.

But I think he's so good at bringing down the great vengeance and furious anger that the other side of him is overlooked.
I ring up Nicholson because he generally plays the same type a guy but I still love home and so do most people. And you know why.
Shaft should be on here, and The Negotiator is one of his most underrated performance's and movies.
