You forgot "Xanadu"

was he in Xanadu?

I'd add "perfect"

Roy Scheider

I'm assuming you're skipping French Connection cause he was a supporting actor?

Christopher Walken- Mr. Schizophrenia himself.

King of New York, New Rose Hotel, Deer Hunter, Pulp Fiction.
then
The Country Bears, Stepford Wives, Wedding Crasher.

Guys been in 110 flicks, has five in production right now, geez I'll act in anything.

my bad. no

I used to wonder about this stuff, but it seems even established actors need to take crappy jobs sometimes. Not that they're starving or anything, but doing 2 or 3 POS films might be necessary to get to the one serious project they want.

I've just looked at Paul Newmans IMDB profile. I didnt see a thing that looked bad.

Tom Cruise

Good - the Last Samurai

Bad - Eyes Wide Shut

I thought this thread was about actors.

Then there's Costner. Makes other ppl's great movies to pay for his own bad ones.

I still don't get the problem with Eyes Wide Shut.

" I don't underst.... Wait! Everybody's Naked!!!!"

Eyes Wide Shut has become the cultural opposite of Woodstock. Twice as many people hate it as have actually seen it.

hehe

You forgot that ping pong movie.

He was great in Things to Do In Denver When Your Dead too. Oh yeah, True Romance also.

Good point, although it doesn't take away from the fact the movie sucked monkey balls. I have "seen" it 3 times. I REALLY wanted the movie to work so I tried watching it 3 times. It sucked 3 times.

Roy Scheider

Good- Jaws
Bad- Everything else


I'm assuming you're skipping French Connection cause he was a supporting actor?

Nope, my bad, I just have a gag reflex when it comes to Mr. Scheider.

Samuel L. Jackson

Good - A Time to Kill, Pulp Fiction

Bad - Snakes on a Plane, Formula 51

I've just looked at Paul Newmans IMDB profile. I didnt see a thing that looked bad.

It's the same way for Denzel Washington. If he's made a bad movie, I've never seen it.

Samuel L. Jackson

Good - A Time to Kill, Pulp Fiction

Bad - Snakes on a Plane, Formula 51

Again someone rating something as bad when that was the intention. Snakes on a Plane is supposed to be a bad movie, does that mean you've given it a positive review?...:)

Man you really wanted to like it, much credit.

I've had this conversation at least a dozen times.
"What'd you think of Eyes Wide Shut?"
"It sucked"
"What, the acting, plot, nudity, music?"
"Naw, never saw it, I just know it sucked"

It's one of my favorite winter trainer flicks.

George Clooney

Good: Ocean's 11
Bad: Ocean's 12

Must be my Navy training, but that's what made it worthwhile:D
