He's in Saving Private Ryan (Caparzo).
The Iron Giant (The Giant).
They're both freaking great films.
as have already been said, Pitch Black and Saving Private Ryan.
the other films were okay, but I prefer these two.

I liked xXx! It was stupid, it was childish and it was a blatant case of "let's try to Americanize James Bond... BADLY!", but it was also fun and, unlike so many other films, makes sense from beginning to end!
The Fast and the Furious was also good, but that's because I like chavvy car-porn.

As well as the aforementioned, and against popular opinion, I really liked Chronicles of Riddick too. Sure, it was episodic and sprawling but the design, direction and pace were superb. I don't understand why people have taken against it so badly.
Fourth one, technically. There's an animated one too, I forget its name, that goes between the two live action ones.Joos said:
The pacifier! (just kidding)
He hasn't been in many good movies...
But he has been in LOTS OF AWESOME MOVIES!
Movies don't have to be good to be awesome. XXX, The fast and the furious, chronicles of riddick.

Saving Private Ryan, The Iron Giant, Boiler Room, Pitch Black, The Fast and the Furious.
And I really have a guilty pleasure in Riddick, as well as the last Fast and Furious movie. They're not good, but Vin is awesome in them.
He's also my favourite videogame actor (both the Riddick games rock, and Wheelman is fun -- a perfect B movie experience translated to game).

I'm going to repeat what most of the others have already said, and mention Pitch Black and The Iron Giant (god I love that robot).
I also enjoy xXx, because it's a very good example of how fast-paced action flick should be done: funny main character, simplish plot with no pretense of being anything else than an action move plot, and real stunts. The fact that it used proper stunts and not clumsy CGI raised it above mediocracy in its time (something the sequel ditched straight away).

Iron Giant
Saving Private Ryan
Pitch Black
As for everything else well, I dunno, I kind of like him for the sheer fun of him being that impossibly overdone badass of the film industry. Yeah they are dumb (the pacifier was dreadful though) but hey, if I wanted an action hero to fit that niche we always have Vin.
