What Actor Has The Best Five Movie Resume?

If you only took the five best movies in an actors career, whose would be the most impressive?  It doesn't matter if they were the lead or an extra, as long as they were in the film it counts. 

Brad Pitt

Snatch
True Romance
Seven
Inglourious Basterds 

Robert De Niro
Goodfellas
Godfather Part II
Taxi Driver
Meet The Parents
Raging Bull

Vince Vaughn
Swingers
Made
Old School
Wedding Crashers
Anchorman

Samuel L. Jackson
Goodfellas
True Romance
Jurassic Park
Pulp Fiction
The Avengers

Christian Bale
The Dark Knight
Batman Begins
American Psycho
The Prestige
The Fighter

Bruce Willis
Die Hard
Die Hard 2
Pulp Fiction
Sin City
Grindhouse: Planet Terror

Steve Buscemi
Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
Fargo
The Big Lebowski
Armageddon 

Morgan Freeman
The Shawshank Redemption

Batman Begins
The Dark Knight

Harrison Ford
Star Wars Epsiode IV: A New Hope
Star Wars Episode V: Empire Strikes Back
Star Wars Episdoe VI: Return of the Jedi
Apocalypse Now
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

Ed Norton
Rounders
American History X
Fight Club
25th Hour
The Illusionist

Joe Pesci
Goodfellas
Raging Bull
Home Alone
Casino
JFK

Denzel Washington
Training Day
Glory
Remember the Titans
Man on Fire
American Gangster

Christopher Walken

Wedding Crashers


Note: Al Pacino not on this list is not an oversight.  Scarface is the most overrated movie ever, he's got the first two Godfathers on this resume but whatever else you choose doesn't stack up with this group. 

My pick?  Brad Pitt. Ridiculous list.  It doesn't even include Sleepers and 12 Monkeys.  

I'm sure I missed some, let me know.

Solid one. Not my favorite but worth a spot on this list.

Freeman's range is ridiculous. From drama, to western, to super hero, pretty impressive. No Clint Eastwood on this list though?
