Favorite Danny Glover movie.
In honor of his sacrifices, activism, and recent arrest (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/16/danny-glover-arrested-in-_n_541329.html), what is your favorite film with him in it?

This is mine:

1990
Harry Mention (Danny Glover), an enigmatic drifter from the South, comes to visit an old acquaintance named Gideon (Paul Butler), who now lives in South-Central Los Angeles. Harry's charming, down-home manner hides a malicious penchant for stirring up trouble, and he exerts a strange and powerful effect on Gideon and his thoroughly assimilated black, middle-class family, including wife Suzie (Mary Alice) and sons Junior (Carl Lumbly) and Big Brother (Richard Brooks).

After Gideon suffers a stroke, Harry's influence over the family grows, in particular over Big Brother, the youngest son. Harry introduces him to a lifestyle of drinking and gambling, and encourages him to leave his wife to join Harry and his friends on the road. However, before Big Brother gets a chance to leave, Junior confronts him. They fight, and their mother gets stabbed in the hand trying to separate them. After taking her to the hospital, Big Brother decides to stay with his family instead of joining Harry. When Harry comes back to collect some things, he slips on some marbles belonging to Big Brother's son, and dies. Soon after, Gideon gets out of his bed for the first time in months, causing the viewer to question the relationship between Harry's presence in the house and Gideon's sickness.
