(Paul Kelman) and Sarah (Lori Hallier) and friend Axel (Neil Affleck) are among the townspeople attending another Valentine’s party. Then, a box of Valentine candy arrives, containing an ominous message and a blood-soaked heart. Before the night is over, terror will strike again and again and again…

In this wild mix of action, cyber-thriller, and sci-fi madness, Virtuosity asks the ultimate question: What happens when you mix cutting-edge tech with the most diabolically psychotic criminal minds? Answer: A whole lot of explosions, gunfights, and a battle of wits between a man and a program who try endlessly to one-up each other.

Parker Barnes (Denzel Washington), a former cop with a troubled past, is pulled out of hiding to track down SID 6.7, a rogue AI made up of the personalities of the world’s most notorious serial killers. He’s been unleashed into the real world and is now running amok, causing mayhem and murdering anyone in sight. Armed with a grudge, some seriously sharp detective skills, and a knack for getting into fistfights with the virtual equivalent of a killer robot, Barnes is the only one who can bring SID down before his digital terror spreads too far.

Starring: Denzel Washington, Liev Schreiber, Meryl Streep, Kimberly Elise, Jeffrey Wright

Years after his squad was ambushed during the Gulf War, Major Ben Marco (Denzel Washington) finds himself having terrible nightmares. He begins to doubt that his fellow squad-mate Sergeant Raymond Shaw (Liev Schreiber), now a vice-presidential candidate, is the hero he remembers him being. As Marco’s doubts deepen, Shaw’s political power grows, and, when Marco finds a mysterious implant embedded in his back, the memory of what really happened begins to return.

Starring: Denzel Washington, Will Patton, Wood Harris, Ryan Hurst, Donald Faison, Craig Kirkwood

In Virginia, high school football is a way of life, an institution revered, each game celebrated more lavishly than Christmas, each playoff distinguished more grandly than any national holiday. And with such recognition, comes powerful emotions. In 1971 high school football was everything to the people of Alexandria. But when the local school board was forced to integrate an all black school with an all white school, the very foundation of football’s great tradition was put to the test.

Starring: Denzel Washington, Sarita Choudhury, Roshan Seth, Sharmila Tagore, Charles S. Dutton

The 1990s began with what may be the sexiest Hollywood film made during the last decade of the century, built on the energy of director Mira Nair’s keen eye for detail and the chemistry between the young talents of Denzel Washington and Sarita Choudhury.

When Mina (Sarita Choudhury), an Indian immigrant in Mississippi, falls for Demetrius (Denzel Washington), a charming carpet cleaner, their love ignites tensions between their families and communities. Torn between tradition and passion, the star-crossed couple fights to chart their own path in this lush, cross-cultural romance. An underseen critical darling at the beginning of the 1990s, Nair’s second feature rightfully found enthusiastic aplomb in the decades since its release, mainly due—let’s be real—to one of the most smoldering couples to ever grace the screen.

Starring: Denzel Washington, Christopher Walken, Dakota Fanning, Radha Mitchell, Marc Anthony, Mickey Rourke, Rachel Ticotin, Jesús Ochoa

In a Mexico City wracked by a recent wave of kidnappings, ex-CIA operative John Creasy (Denzel Washington) reluctantly accepts a job as a bodyguard for 9-year-old Lupita (Dakota Fanning), the daughter of wealthy businessman Samuel Ramos (Marc Anthony). Just as Creasy begins to develop a fondness for the young girl, a bloodthirsty gunman (Jesús Ochoa) kidnaps her. Now, Creasy must pick off a succession of corrupt cops and criminals to reach his ultimate object of vengeance.

Starring: Matthew Broderick, Denzel Washington, Cary Elwes, Morgan Freeman

Following the Battle of Antietam, Col. Robert Gould Shaw (Matthew Broderick) is offered command of the United States’ first all-African-American regiment, the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry. With junior officer Cabot Forbes (Cary Elwes), Shaw puts together a strong and proud unit, including the escaped slave Trip (Denzel Washington) and the wise gravedigger John Rawlins (Morgan Freeman). At first limited to menial manual tasks, the regiment fights to be placed in the heat of battle.

Starring: Denzel Washington, Gene Hackman, Matt Craven, George Dzundza, Viggo Mortensen, James Gandolfini

After the Cold War, a breakaway Russian republic with nuclear warheads becomes a possible worldwide threat. U.S. submarine Capt. Frank Ramsey (Gene Hackman) signs on a relatively green but highly recommended Lt. Cmdr. Ron Hunter (Denzel Washington) to the USS Alabama, which may be the only ship able to stop a possible Armageddon. When Ramsay insists that the Alabama must act aggressively, Hunter, fearing they will start rather than stop a disaster, leads a potential mutiny to stop him.

Starring: Bernadette Lafont, Georges Géret, Claire Maurier, Julien Guiomar, Michel Constantin, Louis Malle

Marie (Bernadette Lafont) lives with her mother on the outskirts of a provincial town where the inhabitants are as cruel as they are ignorant, treating the two women like inferiors. When her mother is tragically killed, Marie sees the opportunity to exploit her exploiters, charging them for sexual favors and quickly accumulating wealth and power. Director Nelly Kaplan’s debut feature is a biting satire that she described as “a witch who doesn’t let herself be burned; she sets fire to the others.”

Starring: Tao Zhao, Fan Liao, Zheng Xu, Casper Liang

Qiao (Zhao Tao) is in love with her boyfriend Bin (Liao Fan), a small-time gangster. During a fight between rival gangs, she fires a gun to protect him. Qiao gets five years in prison for this act of loyalty. Upon her release, she goes looking for Bin to pick up where they left off.
