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.
TheKracken@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Have you seen the beekeeper? Terrible film.
asqapro@reddthat.com 11 months ago
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.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 months ago
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.
lorthirk@feddit.it 11 months ago
Street Fighter?
toynbee@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Presumably, that movie was made on a Tuesday.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 months ago
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?
Siegfried@lemmy.world 11 months ago
“Romeo and juliet” adaptation was garbage imo
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
Yo get the fuck out of here that movie is awesome lol… It’s so late 90s it’s almost painful

The Beach is notoriously bad
tmyakal@lemm.ee 11 months ago
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.
pwnicholson@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Titanic was a hit, but in retrospect, horribly overrated and IMHO absolutely cliche, disrespectful, sacrilegious garbage.
volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 11 months ago
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.)
chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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).
mortimer@lemmy.world 11 months ago
[deleted]toynbee@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You should make sure to say T. Hanks.
volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 11 months ago
He is in this abomination of a book adaptation for Incredibly loud and extremely close.
thewanderingbackpack@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I actually kinda liked it and btw it was nominated for best picture

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
MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 11 months ago
A Few Good Men has my favourite Tom Cruise roll
barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 11 months ago
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.
Scrollone@feddit.it 11 months ago
I’d also add Eyes Wide Shut
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
Ehhh… Had Kubrick’s name not been attached, nobody would remember that movie at all.
Professorozone@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
pwnicholson@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
Professorozone@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Eyes Wide Shut. What a piece of crap.
Smaagi@lemm.ee 11 months ago
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.””
lepinkainen@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Knight and Day is 100% forgettable straight to streaming crap.
But Rock of Ages was as good as it could’ve been

I like pretty much anything Fred Ward was in. Remo Williams will never die
barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Remo Williams is an under-rated masterpiece. It should have been an extended franchise, but they weren’t really much into that back then.

Is there a bad Tom Hanks movie? I think maybe Joe Vs The Volcano comes closest, but I still enjoyed it.
barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Joe vs the Volcano is brilliant!
Gold_E_Lox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
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.
1hitsong@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
The burbs. Great movie!
pwnicholson@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Saving Private Ryan is at least “very good” if not one of the greatest war movies of all time.
And The Burbs is classic 80s screwball comedy simmered to perfection (even if it isn’t a 'high art ’ genre)
geekwithsoul@lemm.ee 11 months ago
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>
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
thewanderingbackpack@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I will not stand for the Cloud Atlas slander.
volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Tbh I struggle to come up with an actual good and not just mediocre movie that Tom Hanks was in.
Adding to the trash list: Incredibly loud and extremely close. They massacred the book.
BmeBenji@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I haven’t seen more than 3 of his movies, but Heath Ledger seems to have been consistently great.

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.

My wife and son love that movie, and want to watch it about once a year. I despise it. Boring, and really, really stupid.

Gene Wilder was the first that came to my mind.
Then Richard Pryor.

Gene Hackman had a pretty good run
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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…
