I was thinking about Great actors and actresses in BAD movies. I'm talking about just a tremendous talent taking a questionable role.
Which GREAT actors can you think of that made TERRIBLE TERRIBLE movies?
My first vote is Sean Connery and ZARDOZ...
What's your vote?
----Chuck
Sandrine Holt in Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation
But then again, that's just my opinion.
John Rhys Davies in the three or four SyFy "original" movies he's done. It boggles my mind to see him in these horrible, horrible films.
Fixed that for you. Must've been typo or something...Shade88 said:
Sean Connery in Highlander 2
Sean Connery in Dragonheart
Sean Connery in The Avengers
Sean Connery in First Knight
Charleton Heston in the Burton POTA.
Arnie in most of his movies after T2 (kindergarten Cop anyone?)
Kirk Douglas in Saturn 3
Max Von Sydow in Flash Gordon
Marlon Brando and David Thewlis in Island of Dr. Moreau
David Thewlis again for the Harry Potter films.

Hey now, a couple good movies have been listed in here. Don't you badmouth Dragonheart, that movie was my childhood.
The one that stands out most to me recently is Wolfman with Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, etc. Pretty decent cast on that movie, absolute mess of a bad film.
Tom Hanks - The Great Buck Howard
Morgan Freeman - Deep Impact
Julia Roberts - The Mexican
Samuel L. Jackson - Snakes on a Plane
-James
Robert DeNiro - Rocky and Bullwinkle.
Need I say more!
Sandrine Holt
Arnie
Julia Roberts
Samuel L. Jackson
Are "great" actors?
Don't get me wrong- they made some pretty popular films, but to put them in the same league as Tom Hanks or Kirk Douglas?
My vote...
Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, and James Caan---
In "Dick Tracy".

More or less every single movie Nic Cage has ever made. Man that guy has talent to spare, but he takes on a lotta crappy "gotta pay the bills" type dreck. I'd say I actually like about 10% of his films.
Ditto and I'd add to that Natalie Portman and Ewan MacGregor, both of whom are great actors too but even a great actor can't redeem wooden dialogue.Shade88 said:
Most of the " great " actors have left us already. Slim pick'ns these days. Tom Hanks , Morgan Freeman, Denzel are a few.SSgt Burton said:

I think Denzel is a tremendous actor and I LOVED LOVE LOVED "Man on Fire," and I gotta admit it got to me when (SPOILER)......
he died in the end. Really got to me. Love Denzel. But yeah, he's made a few turkeys too. That recent one on the train? YAWN

I'm not going to attempt to change your mind, but that movie is well loved by many as it did EXACTLY what it set out to do. To make a campy movie that reflects the original serials but to update it with spectacular costumes, colors and visual effects. And Mr. Von Sydow's performance was 100% spot on to the true spirit of Ming. I don't think they could have captured the look and feel of the character with anyone else.
But that's just me
