Joe Cazale! Only five movies, but all five awarded nominees for Oscar Best Picture!
Me. I’m not in any films.
I was going to say Gary Oldman, but then I remembered that Tiptoes wasn’t a fever dream.
Rick moranis?
I knew it, I’m surrounded by Assholes
Jessica Chastain
Charles Bronson
Look, I love me some Jason Statham being overly British and kicking ass for upward two hours while barely making a face, so I’m going to say Jason Statham.
Have you seen the beekeeper? Terrible film.
No that movie was great.
No that movie was amazing!
I’m constantly astounded that people seem to unironically enjoy that movie. I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade so I stay away from discussions about it, but I saw it in theaters (because I also love Jason Statham) and immediately regretted it. It felt like it was written as a joke, but then tried to take itself seriously, and failed at both. I feel like I’m getting pranked by people saying they like that movie.
The whole bee thing felt forced.
I mean… It depends what you consider a bad film.
IMO, Raul Julia hasn’t been in a single bad movie. And, yes, I have seen Overdrawn at the Memory Bank.
Street Fighter?
Presumably, that movie was made on a Tuesday.
That movie is good because of Raul Julia.
Leonardo DiCaprio?
Churning out good movies since he was a kid.
Is there a really bad movie with him?
“Romeo and juliet” adaptation was garbage imo
Yo get the fuck out of here that movie is awesome lol… It’s so late 90s it’s almost painful. Baz Lurman is a madman.
Also, “Exit Music: For a Film” written by Radiohead for the end credits? C’mon
The Beach is notoriously bad
The Beach was just too weird for the Titanic fans. It was right in the wheelhouse for Danny Boyle fans at the time.
Of course the book was better, but I really enjoyed the movie for what it was.
Titanic was a hit, but in retrospect, horribly overrated and IMHO absolutely cliche, disrespectful, sacrilegious garbage.
I’m sorry but… Most of them? Especially since it’s his performance that has become poor. He is playing himself more and more. A similar thing happened to Johnny Depp. Look at both of them in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape and then at stuff like Great Gatsby, Wolf of Wall Street, Shutter’s Island, Django / Willy Wonka, Pirates of the Carribean, Shadows, Transcendence. The acting and characters are so similar and they don’t give an effort anymore (or try to, and absolutely overdo it).
(Sorry I somehow incorporated a Johnny Depp rant in a critic of DiCaprio, their story of decline is just too similar to me. And Gilbert Grape is an amazing movie.)
James Dean. Credited in only 3 films (appeared in a few more as an extra):
- East of Eden
- Rebel Without a Cause
- Giant
All 3 are above average on IMDb (> 7).
Tom Hanks.
I’ve never seen a bad Tom Hanks movie.
Tom Hanks is close, but Cloud Atlas exists.
Cloud Atlas was brilliant.
I wanted to like Cloud Atlas. It felt like it was fighting itself for air time. I’ll give it another try someday.
It really was.
You should make sure to say T. Hanks.
He is in this abomination of a book adaptation for Incredibly loud and extremely close.
I actually kinda liked it and btw it was nominated for best picture
Elvis. Sully. There’s two right off the top of my head.
Fuck the film Sully for dragging the NTSB through the mud for fake drama. Absolute fucking hack writing that disrespects heroes of safety.
Helge Schneider maybe?
He doesn’t even like most of his own movies. Dude has no taste it seems.
michelle yeoh, she was the only part of STD that was watchable. she has her niche films though.
lol EEAAO is not for everyone
I’m not a fan of Tom Cruise and alo never watched the MI franchise, but otherwise he knows how to pick good scripts… Last Samurai, Vanilla Sky, Tropic Thunder, Minority Report, Top Gun, Rain man, Edge of Tomorrow, The Firm. There are still a bunch I never saw so there may be some rotten tomatoes in the basket
His Scientology bullshit creeps me out to the max, but i have to admit that i will watch any movie he makes, because they are always good, and sometimes great.
Do yourself a favor, and watch the MI series. They are nonsensical but really fun, with some of the best action sequences ever filmed, and he does the stunts himself. They also get better as the series comtinues.
I’d also add Eyes Wide Shut
He DOES have some bad movies, but not many. I really don’t like the guy either, but I like a lot of his movies. You forgot Oblivion and Jerry Maguire for instance.
Agree he had a very high hit rate, and personal life aside, I enjoy most of his movies.
But MI:2 and MI:3 are mediocre at best, and Knight and Day and Rock of Ages were massive flops (I haven’t seen either, but i they look horrible). Cocktail earned him a razzie nomination.
Eyes Wide Shut. What a piece of crap.
Don’t forget The Mummy remake, it was so bad they cancelled the Dark Universe because of it.
““Kurtzman called the experience “brutal” and described The Mummy as “probably the biggest failure” of his life.””
Ah, I’ve even seen that one! Good call
Knight and Day is 100% forgettable straight to streaming crap.
But Rock of Ages was as good as it could’ve been
Dolly Parton
