I voted Carbon Copy:
Walter Whitney: How much did you pay for this car?
Roger Porter: 14 dollars and a record player.
Walter Whitney: You were robbed!

Out of that list it would easily be Malcolm X. I also love Inside Man and He Got Game. Malcolm X is truly a great movie. I wish it was shot in Scope (widescreen) but other than that it is a remarkable wholly impressive bio pic. The scene using Sam Cookes "A Change Is Gonna Come" is remarkable, moving and deeply cinematic.

Tough. It's about a tie between Crimson Tide and Malcom X

I'm stunned to realize that, although I like Denzel Washington, I haven't seen a single one of the movies on the poll list. I have American Gangster and Training Day on HD DVD, but I haven't watched them yet, and I've got Man on Fire coming on Blu-Ray. But I do like The Mighty Quinn, Inside Man and Out of Time (heck, even Deja Vu).

Malcolm X is one of those great performances in a phenomenal movie that got overlooked in favor of... Al Pacino in "Scent of a FUCKING Woman"?!!!
A pox on the 1992 Academy voters. A pox for life.

Crimson Tide. Haven't seen Malcolm since it was in theatres, and sorry to say haven't seen most of the others.
Crimson Tide is a superb drama. Could even be done on stage as a play based on the strength of it's dialogue (much of which was written by Tarantino).

'Man On Fire' is my favorite.
His best is probably 'Training Day', he roared and stomped through that film like Godzilla did through Tokyo. A commanding and confident performance few actors ever rise to. There wasn't a trace of 'Denzel' in that film.
I really like 'Carbon Copy' too. Kudos to whoever mentioned it.
