Which actor did not have a single bad film?
Tim Curry.
And before you tell me he was in some notoriously shit movies, no they weren't, Tim Curry was in those movies, so they're great movies.
Prime example: Oscar (1991)
It got bad reviews (I loved it) but Curry’s performance was amazing.
LOL, yup, this.
I love that man.
This should have won him a Oscar (BAFTA?)
That episode of Lexx was good too
Muppets Treasure Island. 🎤🫳⬇️
John Cazale
Yep, this is the one I was scrolling down to find.
Godfather.
Godfather 2.
The Conversation.
Dog Day Afternoon.
The Deer Hunter.
All five Best Picture Oscar nominees, three winners.
Possibly the only proper answer if we put a minimum on the number of films required to be considered.
James Dean. Credited in only 3 films (appeared in a few more as an extra):
All 3 are above average on IMDb (> 7).
Viggo Mortensen
If only he skipped Daylight.
Gene Hackman had a pretty good run
All my life, I would always watch ANY movie that Gene Hackman was in. I never saw him give a bad performance.
The Conversation is one of the best movies I've ever seen. The feeling you get from that movie is so strange and I love it.
Probably Daniel Day Lewis. He’s extremely picky about what he’s in.
Gene Wilder was the first that came to my mind.
Then Richard Pryor.
🎶 Richard Pryor... didn't have to catch on fire 🎵
THE Harold Zoid!
I haven’t seen more than 3 of his movies, but Heath Ledger seems to have been consistently great.
I'm not a huge fan of Tom Cruise and also 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
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.
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.
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.
A Few Good Men has my favourite Tom Cruise roll
I'd also add Eyes Wide Shut
Hollywood lore on YouTube hasn't done a video on him yet.
I was going to say "OJ Simpson", knowing he was in The Naked Gun. I figured he got the part because of his notority as a football player, and figured it was his only film.
Turns out he's been acting since at least the mid 70s. He's been in lile 15 movies. Which is kind of weird, knowing what he did later.
So, I guess I can't say O.J Simpson.....
He guest starred in an episode of a children's show "Adventures in Wonderland". The episode never aired because of the whole murder incident. So the episode was filmed so close to the time of the murder, it didn't make it to air. Did he know he was going to commit murder while he was acting in a children's show?
nvm
Bela Lugosi
I heard from Bauhaus that he's dead.
Undead! Undead! Undead!
Plan 9 from Outer Space!
Dubbed the worst film ever made. To be fair to Bela Lugosi, he had no choice in the matter as he appeared in the film posthumously.
Dubbed the worst film ever made.
hey no fair. being tricked as an art student into watching that is a rite of passage
Rick moranis?
I knew it, I'm surrounded by Assholes
michelle yeoh, she was the only part of STD that was watchable. she has her niche films though.
lol EEAAO is not for everyone
Christopher Walken?
A View to a Kill is one of the worst bond movies
A shame too because it was such a waste to use Walken and Duran Duran in such a crappy movie.
2 people I know watched Mouse Hunt for the first time this month and both hated it. Not really his movie though, I guess
Biloxi Blues, baby.
"You would need two promotions to get to be an asshole."
Tom Hanks.
I've never seen a bad Tom Hanks movie.
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.
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
You should make sure to say T. Hanks.
I like pretty much anything Fred Ward was in. Remo Williams will never die
Remo Williams is an under-rated masterpiece. It should have been an extended franchise, but they weren't really much into that back then.
dobermans chasing you up ladders is nightmare fuel.
Miami Blues was such a treat.
Jeff Stryker.
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?
That movie is good because of Raul Julia.
Presumably, that movie was made on a Tuesday.
Cory Chase
Charles Bronson
Helge Schneider maybe?
He doesn't even like most of his own movies. Dude has no taste it seems.
Daniel Willem Dafoe
The Robinson Crusoe author?
Dolly Parton
Joe Cazale! Only five movies, but all five awarded nominees for Oscar Best Picture!
Is there a bad Tom Hanks movie? I think maybe Joe Vs The Volcano comes closest, but I still enjoyed it.
The Man With One Red Shoe is much worse than Joe Versus the Volcano. And if made for TV movies count, you have to throw in Mazes and Monsters. Oh and Bonfire of the Vanities was a famous flop. And Volunteers was pretty bad. People forget how bad some of his early stuff was.
Hell, both Forrest Gump and Castaway were tremendously overrated. Also the unwatchable Cloud Atlas and the stupid Dan Brown movies.
<suddenly dawns on me that Tom Hanks makes a lot of bad movies>
Forrest Gump...tremendously overrated
Thank you. I fucking hated Forrest Gump (inspiration porn is not my genre, fictional inspiration porn much less so) so I'm feeling really validated right now.
i am honestly struggling to think of a good movie that man is in, mediocre and pandering are the two words i would use to describe.
Joe vs the Volcano is brilliant!
I was going to say Gary Oldman, but then I remembered that Tiptoes wasn't a fever dream.
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.
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.
Jessica Chastain
Leonardo DiCaprio?
Churning out good movies since he was a kid.
Is there a really bad movie with him?
Titanic was a hit, but in retrospect, horribly overrated and IMHO absolutely cliche, disrespectful, sacrilegious garbage.
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.
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.)
"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
