Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (you knew it was coming sooner or later)
Say what you will about the flaws in this movie (and there are many), but it's hard to find fault with Liam Neeson. He always gives his all in whatever film he's in, and his characterization of Qui-Gon Jinn is no exception. His Qui-Gon is the Jedi we all want to see: quiet, dignified, wise in many ways, yet not afraid to "mix it up" when he has to (and he has the skills to back it up).
