Me. I’m not in any films.
Joe Cazale! Only five movies, but all five awarded nominees for Oscar Best Picture!
I was going to say Gary Oldman, but then I remembered that Tiptoes wasn’t a fever dream.
Rick moranis?
Cory Chase
Charles Bronson
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).
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.
This should have won him a Oscar (BAFTA?)
That episode of Lexx was good too
Muppets Treasure Island. 🎤🫳⬇️
I love that man.
Prime example: Oscar (1991)
It got bad reviews (I loved it) but Curry’s performance was amazing.
LOL, yup, this.
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.
Jessica Chastain
michelle yeoh, she was the only part of STD that was watchable. she has her niche films though.
lol EEAAO is not for everyone
THE Harold Zoid!
Probably Daniel Day Lewis. He’s extremely picky about what he’s in.
Phantom Thread was amazing… Might need to watch that one again
My wife and son love that movie, and want to watch it about once a year. I despise it. Boring, and really, really stupid.
I could understand someone finding it boring, but what was really really stupid about it?
A love story about poisoning?
You can reduce literally any film to one sentence that makes it sound stupid.
“Citizen Kane is stupid, its a story about a rich guy who really liked his sled.”
Even still… oversimplification aside, I don’t see anything inherently stupid about “a love story about poisoning”
I find the basic premise to be too implausible to be entertaining.
Nine was poorly reviewed by critics and audiences.
But otherwise his choices have been solid.
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
A Few Good Men has my favourite Tom Cruise roll
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
Ehhh… Had Kubrick’s name not been attached, nobody would remember that movie at all.
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.
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
Eyes Wide Shut. What a piece of crap.
Knight and Day is 100% forgettable straight to streaming crap.
But Rock of Ages was as good as it could’ve been
He was kind of amazing in Rock of Ages. That was a unique character in his catalogue, I’ve never seen him play a role anything like it.
Im also a big fan of Les Grossman.
Hollywood lore on YouTube hasn’t done a video on him yet.
