"A Time to Kill" (1996)

As Carl Lee Hailey, the vengeance-minded father whose young daughter is raped and permanently injured, Jackson was the centerpiece of this John Grisham courtroom thriller’s marketing.
Badass moment: A wily D.A. (Kevin Spacey) provokes him on the witness stand by asking if the men who raped his daughter deserve to die and Jackson explodes with the famous line (and popular "Chappelle’s Show" quote): “Yes they deserved to die and I hope they burn in hell!”
