This was the fourth movie that Spike Lee and Washington had worked on together. the others were: "Mo' Better Blues" (1990), "Malcolm X" (1992), and "He Got Game" (1998).

Answer: Mo' Better Blues

The first collaboration of Spike Lee and Denzel Washington, "Mo' Better Blues" (1990), follows the life of Bleek Gilliam (Washington), a jazz trumpeter from Brooklyn, trying to keep his band from falling apart due to a rivalry that grows into something more within the group between he and saxphonist Shadow Henderson (Wesley Snipes) over the beautiful Clarke Bentancourt (Cynda Williams), who joins the band as a singer.

With an all star cast featuring Snipes, Samuel L. Jackson, John and Nick Tuturro, Williams, and Charlie Murphy (not to mention Giancarlo Esposito and Spike Lee), "Mo' Better Blues" is probably one of Washington's most fondly-remembered films in his vast catalogue.
5. Arnold Billings

Marshall). As St. John's search for a replacement goes further along, he finds that there was more to Hastings' retiring from politics than was previously understood. Denzel won an Outstanding Supporting Actor's Image Award for his portrayal in 1988.
6. Napoleon Stone

In "Heart Condition" (1990), one of the few comedies within his vast catalogue of movies, Washington played Napoleon Stone, a lawyer who is murdered and ends up having his heart transplanted into the body of racist detective, Jack Moony (Bob Hoskins), after he suffers a fatal heart attack. Moony not only gets a second chance at life, but a constant companion in the ghost of Stone.
7. Anthony Hubbard

Whitlock becomes the prime suspect due to not only the affair, but also because he took a half million dollars in drug money from the evidence room in order to pay for Ann Merai's cancer treatments.
