Die Hard?
Edit: N/M I read it as Bruce Willis not Sam Jackson...
Shaft, S.W.A.T, Coach Carter were Jackson vehicles that were successful. He has obviously been parts of franchise movies like Star Wars, Incredibles, Jurassic Park, Kill Bill and of course, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown.
When you are a star that gets used for big money franchise films, you are a-listed.
I wasn't arguing Sam Jackson wasn't A-List, just fixing my post when I misread what KOAB posted...
Sam Jackson is absolutley A-list....
