Barack Obama as President.
I nominate Tom Cuise and Meg Ryan. The WORST actors of all time!
Andie McDowell in anything she was cast in.
There are many, many Kevin Costner movies I like...but my Gosh, the man is a terrible actor.
Arnold Schwarzeneggar as Conan, and he was lousy in Total Recall too.
Gary Cooper was an awful actor...yet he appears in many of my favorite movies...Sgt. York, High Noon, The Fountainhead, Meet John Doe...go figure.
Laurence Olivier playing a dentist?
You oughta see John Wayne’s early, early serial Westerns for bad acting lessons.
Hayden Christiansen, Star Wars
Honestly, it would be easier to name the “Best Acting”.....because there’s soooooo much bad.
This movie review about the remake of “the Day the Earth Stood Still” was one of the better slams I’ve read in years:
“Simply put, the script is just howlingly awful, full of dialogue and situations that make it not just impossible but pointless to suspend disbelief. Mr. Derrickson tries to fill the screen with the sort of flashy sequences that viewers expect from this kind of movie, but the results are much more aw-shucks than shock-and-awe.
The pulsing globe-of-light thing is nothing we haven’t seen before, the giant robot looks like something out of an ‘80s heavy-rock video, and then there is Keanu Reeves as the alien, Klaatu. An alien who is all but emotionless and speaks in a monotone – isn’t that the role Mr. Reeves was born to play? Based on previous performances, you might think so, and yet he still seems shallow and unconvincing. There are supposed to be some deep reverberations going on within Klaatu as he comes to realize that we humans have some good qualities beneath our hateful surface, but watching Mr. Reeves’ face is like staring at a TV tuned to a dead station.
Keanu Reeves is a wonder star! You wonder why he’s a star!
Bush-haters Will Ferrell and Matt Damon in everything they did.
John Wayne may have won an Oscar for his role in True Grit, however, the Academy should have taken it right back for his role as Genghis Khan, in ‘The Conqueror’ and just chalk up the act as bringing the universe back into balance.
Where to start? “The Man in the Iron Mask” is ripe with really bad acting. Leonardo DiCaprio as a french king? yikes and that John Malkovitch..I cringe whenever he opened his mouth and that poor little french girl (Judith Godrèche)who played Raoul’s fiancee...awful...and the guy who played Raoul (Peter Sarsgaard)...even worse. Jeremy Irons and Gabriel Byrne actually make the movie worth watching....The last 10 minutes were the best...magnificent valor....just amazing how many accents were rampant in that movie.
Bruce Willis in “the Fifth Element”.
Though Lilu more than made up for it. :)
William Shatner & Friends in anything?!
Stallone in anything, he should have stuck with blue movies.
Elvis Presley almost got Glen Campbell’s part in True Grit. Colonel Tom Parker wanted top billing over John Wayne. The producers sain no way. So we got Glen Campbell instead. Also, John Wayne wanted Karen Caprpenter in Kim Darby’s role. Don’t know why that didn’t work out.
Andie McDowell in anything she was cast in.
Glenn Campbell absolutely ruined True Grit,without doubt the worst performance I ever watched. For Women actors, Winds of War Ali McGraw. Destroyed the whole thing she was so bad.
Now If I had a pick of one more woman I would pick Sondra Locke.
She must have been hell on wheels in bed for Clint Eastwood to have had her suck in so many movies he made.She was awful, and then had the nerve to say Eastwood ruined her career, If not for Eastwood her career would have been working in a Las Vegas Whorehouse.
Speaking of John Wayne, I cringe at his performance in The Longest Day.
