You know how many good movies he's been in? EVERY SINGLE ONE HE'S EVER BEEN IN. Samuel L. Jackson makes a movie good, no matter what.

The 51st State was a shocking piece of shit in my opinion.

But you got to love the kilt

 

[Arcticflame]

The question was good films he's been in.
People are saying star wars.
really.. star wars?
I thought it was blasphemy to enjoy the new star wars movies as a nerd.

 

[YouCallMeNighthawk]

well i think we can all safely agree on the "snakes on a plane" sucked ass!

The only good films i can think of is Pulp Fiction or The 51st state.

Cant believe no one has mentioned The Long Kiss Goodnight yet. One of my all time favorite action-flicks.

The Incredibles
Pulp Fiction
Jacky Brown
51st State (yeah i know it was shit but Christ I love that film)
Shaft (even though it was a pretty meh remake, I still liked it + he played a good John Shaft)
Die Hard: With a Vengeance
Loaded Weapon 1

Those are the only ones I can think of.

Not many. His fate is shared by Robin Williams. Good actors, but most of their movies are very, very shite.
The good ones though, are phenomenally good.

 

[Sven und EIN HUND]

He was good in Die Hard With A Vengeance.

 

[OMGMOO]

Loaded Weapon 1

You mean National Lampoons Loaded Weapon 1 and I'd have to say that is probably the second funniest movie i've ever seen.

"Wes Luger: There's something between you and this General Morters.
Colt: He was my C.O. in NAM. CIA listed him as M.I.A. but the V.A. ID'd him and so we put out an APB.
Wes Luger: Oh, I see. "

 

[Proteus214]

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned 187 yet. That was a damn good movie.

 

[Hollock]

he has a unique, wild, bombastic, attitude. He brings a certain je ne se qua to every project he's in. He very much on the same level as Christiopher Walken.

it doesn't matter what movie he's in he's the same guy, and we love him for it.

 

[notyouraveragejoe]

I can't even name ten.

Seriously? I guess only being 12 at the end of 90's means you had a much different experience then I did, didn't get a chance to take it all in proper. It was the man's best decade in films. Could have a lot to do with why you feel that way.

Haven't seen "A Time To Kill" brought up yet. 1996. 7.1 on IMDB. Directed by Joel Schumacher. Based on a John Grisham novel.

...

That film was brilliant.

Other Samuel L. Jackson goodness: The Room 1408, The Incredibles and I could've sworn he did a Shaft once which while not "good" was at least very entertaining.
