We’ve looked at Christopher Walken’s terrible movies, so now we’ll turn our attention to another good actor with an unfortunate resume — Samuel L. Jackson. He’s eminently watchable in anything, especially in an action movie, but some of his movies just don’t seem worth it. Of the terrible movies below, can you identify which ones Jackson was in?

And no Long Kiss Goodnight? A fine Geena Davis/Renny Harlin homage to what blockbuster movie directors have to do to appease their very tall significant others!

But no mention of Deep Blue Sea?

Deep Blue Sea has one of the finest Jackson moments ever.
[SPOILER FOLLOWS]
Everyone is upset; they are trapped on a ship with giant intelligent killer sharks (which should have been the title) The situation looks hopeless. Jackson, survivor of an Everest expedition that went sour, tries to rally their spirits. He gives a rousing speech and, just as he gets to the emotional climax, a huge shark leaps from the water and eats him.
