Director Tony Scott has a long history of making great action movies, many of which with Denzel Washington by his side. Top Gun, Crimson Tide, Enemy of the State, True Romance, and Déjà Vu are only a few of his pictures action lovers will surely recognize.

November 22 will be a massive day for Denzel Washington. His role in Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator II” has thrust him into the heart of the Oscar race for Best Supporting Actor, and the film opens in theaters on the same day his son Malcolm Washington’s “The Piano Lesson,” which he produced, streams on Netflix.
