Is it possible that Samuel L. Jackson could have made ANY movie in history better?

Think of the possibilities:

In the Heat of the Night  
The Exorcist  
2001: A Space Odyssey  
The Godfather  
Jaws  
Please, take a memorable scene from a Classic, and add Sam in there; tell me that scene dosen’t get better!

_Jaws:_ I’m tired of this motherfucking shark attacking this motherfucking boat!  
_In the Heat of the Night_: They call me Mr. Tibbs, motherfucker!  
_The Godfather_: He made him an offer the motherfucker couldn’t refuse.

I Bet in the Exorcist “Father Sam” would be smacking Regan around the moment she pukes on him.

This isn’t really inserting Samuel Jackson into another movie, but all three Star Wars prequel movies are infinitely better if you insert “motherfucker” in all of his lines.

“You refer to the prophecy of The One who will bring balance to the Force. You believe it’s this motherfucker?”

"But which motherfucker was destroyed, the master or the apprentice?

“This party’s over, motherfucker.”

“We will not be hostages to be bartered, Dooku, you motherfucker.”

“May the force be with us all, motherfucker.”

"The oppression of the Sith will never return! You, motherfucker, have lost!

I find that he makes a rather nice stand-in for James Earl Jones:  
Simba.  
Father?  
Simba, you have forgotten me.  
What?  
You have forgotten who you are, and so forgotten me.  
What?  
Say “what” again! Say “what” again! I dare you, I double dare you, mother-fucker! Say “what” one more goddamn time!  
Or…

This field, this game, it’s a part of our past, motherfucker! It reminds us of all that once was good and could be again. Oh, people will come, motherfucker! People will most definitely come.

Or…

You broke into my house, stole my property, murdered my servants and my pets, and THAT is what grieves me the most! You killed my motherfuckin’ snake!

If they had a movie called “Samuel L. Jackson Yelling and Kicking Ass for Two Hours” I would seriously be the first in line to watch it.

Not a movie but an actual project- imagine the possibilities-

Samuel L. Jackson really did the Voice of God in the all-black recording THE BIBLE EXPERIENCE.
