For anyone that has not seen any film involving Mr. Jackson, you will sometimes see him in a gangster film. But mainly, it will be action blockbusters or films directed by Quentin Tarantino. Lately it has been superhero films within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
My top 10 is pretty impressive and the list looks like it is set in stone in terms of the films that have been released.
Before I show my list, I must mention that I will not be including Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Inglourious Basterds. This is because we only hear him narrate a few scenes, or appear briefly in one scene.
Out of his staggering 123 films, I have only seen 44 of them. I will rank all of the films I have seen, and give a short review for each of my top 10:
44) xXx2: The Next Level

This is thrilling, tense and exciting climax to a trilogy that certainly takes on a different approach to the superhero genre.
9) Incredibles 2 - The long awaited sequel to the 2004 Pixar original sees Jackson return as Frozone, a super and best friend to the Parr family.
Jackson's character might continue to be a support, his contributions are still highly memorable.

When a blizzard in Wyoming brings a collection of people to a cabin, chaos ensues.
Jackson's character is highly entertaining and you instantly root for him.
7) Goodfellas - Martin Scorsese's epic gangster drama that sees of group of friends work their way up the hierarchy within a mob.
It is vintage Scorsese and the performances all-round are fantastic.
Jackson is not in the movie for long, but he still plays an important enough role to be part of this list.
6) Avengers Assemble - The first Avengers film that marked the end of Marvel's first phase of their cinematic universe.
Despite fears of it being bloated with too many characters, director Joss Whedon pulled it off beautifully.
Jackson plays Nick Fury who brought the Avengers together. His leadership is crucial in the film that helps move the film along and sets us up with some nice moments between the Avengers themselves.
5) Die Hard With A Vengeance - The third Die Hard in the film franchise and definitely the best challenger to the original.
Bruce Willis is back as John McClane. An old adversary returns to plot revenge after the events from the first Die Hard.
Jackson gives us a terrific performance as a store owner that ends up getting involved and helping McClane.
4) Django Unchained - Quentin Tarantino's latest installment that sees his Spaghetti Western style of film-making finally be used in the West.
It sees a bounty hunter help a free slave find his wife who has been taken by a plantation owner.
Jackson plays the plantation owner's head servant.
His creepy and slimy performance definitely steals the show. Tarantino really knows how bring the best out of Jackson.
3) Jurassic Park - One film that needs to be seen for the first time during your childhood.

2) Pulp Fiction - Seen as one of the greatest films of all-time and the film that defined director Quentin Tarantino's career.
It sees four stories gradually intertwine. We see hit-men, a boxer, a mobster's wife and a pair of bandits.
