Who's been in better movies - Morgan Freeman or Sam Jackson?

[pookiyama]

Sam Jackson can make a movie enjoyable by himself.

Pulp fiction is a god tier movie. So pulp fiction wins if the criteria is best films.

 

[Katsumi Yamada]

Morgan Freeman because he has been the president and God.

Jackson's president was way more badass.
And he also played mace windu, who could probably besmirch Freeman's God.

I loved more Morgan Freeman movies, so I'd pick him

 

[marioh]

obligatory, should've been a poll.

freeman is my pick.

 

[CrazyN8]

I honestly wouldn't put one over the other, there both awesome in their own way, tie imo.

 

[Ares Black]

Morgan Freeman, but they are both massively overrated.

The Negotiator (1998)
Rules of Engagement (2000)

TS you omitted a couple of my favorites from Samuel L and therefore I do not know if I can trust your judgment after this. Samuel L’s performance in Rules of Enagement was the best part of the movie.

 

[lsa]

Cant pick they both look the same to me.

 

[TheLastSpartan]

Hmm.

Freeman was god as well as the president of the US.

Jackson was a Jedi and is the founding father of the Avengers.

I can't unequivocally say one has a better filmography than the other but I do enjoy Sam Jackson more in his roles so I choose him.

 

[CerebralKnievel]

Sam Jackson stands out to me more for his awful performances these days than his good ones. He has been a rampant paycheck collector for years and is constantly cast in roles he has no business playing.

 

[Brom Bones]

Man! I thought they were the same guy this whole time.

#allblackpeoplelookalike

Just kidding. Samuel for the Brah movies, Freeman for the more critically acclaimed shit. I'm goin full BRAH! But Freeman ain't got no shame in his game.

 

[Organic Damage]

Freeman, though it's mostly because Sam Jackson has Nic Caged himself. If it wasn't for Marvel and Tarantino he'd probably be considered a B actor.

He's in everything all the time and almost never has occasion to draw on his considerable acting talent.

 

[Adamant]

Well, Freeman isn't nearly as nutty in real life so I'll give it to him because of that.
