Whenever you hear the word black, Morgan Freeman comes into mind and it was after watching his movies I decided to make this list... please, I don't want any controversy because this list wasn't done for that, just for entertainment... and votes!!!

No offense meant and I hope you enjoy...

Can't wait for MIB 3 (Yay!) but I agree that Morgan Freeman's Red is by FAR the best of the best. I was looking through a list of all black movies recently:

And I think there are many other brilliant characters to be added here!

Denzel Washington isn't in the list! This is criminally unfair.

I would have expected Morgan Freeman, Samuel Jackson, and Lawrence Fishburn to dominate this list.
