For many actors, you associate them with their greatest performance in a movie. Like Arnold, while he has been in a number of great movies, like Predator and Conan, I'm pretty sure most people would connect him the best with the Terminator movies. Keanu Reeves played a great role in Hard Ball but people will most likely associate him with Neo from The Matrix.
On the other hand, the guys I listed above have a lot of memorable moments in movies that people will remember them in the different roles they played, but which ones do you remember them the most by? For me...
For Tom Hanks, it was Forrest Gump. He was wonderful in Saving Private Ryan, Toy Story 2, The Green Mile, Cast Away, and Apollo 13, but his role in Forrest Gump was really spectacular and that is the first movie I think of with Tom Hanks.
I've never really watched that many movies with Jack Nicholson, but I thought he did an excellent job in About Schmidt.
For Harrison Ford, I think it is widely agreed upon it is between him as Han Solo in Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Even though he was the main character in Indiana Jones, Han Solo is the first person I think of with Harrison Ford.
Denzel Washington was sort of hard. He does an excellent job on almost all the movies he has a role in, like Malcolm X, Man on Fire, John Q, Training Day, and Remember the Titans, but Man on Fire was the one that stands out the most.
Morgan Freeman has been in some of the greatest movies ever, but the two that really shines above the rest are The Shawshank Redemption and Lean On Me. Honestly this is really hard, he is practically polar opposites in these two roles and he excelled in both of them, and his monologue in The Shawshank Redemption is studied throughout schools to this day, but his character in Lean On Me just really sticks out to me the most.
Unfortunately with Will Smith, I still haven't seen Pursuit of Happiness yet, hoping it will be soon. Indenpendence Day and Men In Black are the two I strongly associate Smith with, but really the first thing that comes to mind instantly is the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. For movies though I think Will Smith in Men In Black really suits what he is; a character you can use in an action movie that brings a really unique humour.
At least in my opinion most of Nicolas Cage's best movies came in a small period of time, though I do think Bangkok Dangerous was a severely underrated film. Gone in Sixty Seconds, Face/off, Con Air, Snake Eyes, and 8mm are some to come in mind. Face/off stood out the most though.
For me Jackie Chan was the hardest. His early films that were popular in America, like Rumble In The Bronx, Mr. Nice Guy, and Who Am I, are the ones that really stand out the most. Oddly enough I didn't think of either Police Story, Drunken Master, or even Rush Hour. What makes this hard is that Jackie Chan brings this type of aura that makes it a "Jackie Chan movie" and most of his movies are equally good, except for his American ones like The Tuxedo and The Medallion. This is honestly the hardest one for me, but in the end it is Mr. Nice Guy for me.
Samuel Jackson was hard too. Pulp Fiction, Coach Carter, and for some strange reason, Snakes In a Plane are the ones that stand out the most. Though I thought his role in Coach Carter was just legendary.
