We've all sat through many movies that we've deemed a total waste of time. For guys, it's usually when your better half drags you to a hideous chick-flick. For the gals, it's usually having to sit thru gangster movies on Turner Classic Movies with hubby.
But one thing both men and women agree on is that Hollywood has a knack of putting at least one actor in every movie that is horribly miscast! Here at the Pissant Univeristy for Knowledge & Entertainment Studies (PUKES) we've compiled the top 7 miscast thesbians in Hollywood history!
Top 7 Movie Miscasts
7. Will Smith as James West in Wild, Wild West
I only lasted 20 minutes because of this royal screwup.
6. Mark Hammill as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars
Way too wimpy and annoying
5. Denise Richards as Christmas Jones in 007's The World is not Enough
Nuclear scientist? She ruined the movie
4. Colin Ferrell as Alexander in ALexander
Any military leader that looked like such a wuss would have been murdered by his generals in a nanosecond.
3. Ali McGraw as some chick in Love Story
As exciting as peeling paint
2. Brad Pitt as some dude in the Fight Club
About as believable being a toughie as I am being a ballerina
1. John Wayne as Ghengis Khan in The Conqueror
A cowboy Chinaman? Yikes. Though I did enjoy it for some reason.
I had trouble with Sean Connery's accent in the Wind and the Lion (i think that's what it was called). I just couldn't see him as an arab or berber, at least I think it was somewhere in north africa.

I actually think that Martin Sheen was good in Gettysburg; all the actors in that movie were excellent
Anyway, here's my list:
Anything with Wesley Snipes (Major League was the only role he played where he was at least bearable)
Nicolas Cage in Face Off
Robert DeNiro in Cape Fear
Russel Crowe in Mystery, Alaska - good movie but at least they could have cast someone for that role who could actually skate
anything with Joan Cusack who is only allowed to get near a movie set because of her brother
anything with Leonardo DiCrapio - when is this little boy going to finally stop looking like he is in junior high school?
Actually I liked Viggo Mortensen in LOTR.
I just don't like him as Viggo Mortensen.
I feel that way about Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts. They always play the same person no matter what the movie or character. They just play themselves. IMHO: it's bad acting...
Too true. He might be well cast as a high school drop out, and I thought he did fine in "Adaptation," but there's always something missing. I don't understand his popularity with producers and directors.
I still think the (unintentionally? or was it??) funniest scene I ever saw was Ryan O'Neal climbing on top of dying-of-cancer (or whatever she was dying of) Ali McGraw in that godawful movie. It looked like he was after one last boink before she croaked. My girlfriend slugged me when I started to guffaw. Yes, that's the only reason I saw it, my girlfriend at the time dragged me along. Good thing she had a large chest.
"I don't understand his popularity with producers and directors."
Me either. He has had countless box office flops...
MM
Geena Davis in anything!
Alec Baldwin hasn't had a good role since he played the prick boyfriend on Working Girl
Including her role as singer...
National Treasure benefitted from very clever plotting and good dialogue. Plus, Cage didn't do something weird with his voice or posture (as in Peggy Sue Got Married)
well actually if you read the books, Alec Baldwin is the exact physical description of Jack Ryan. I give him points for that.
He wasn't nearly as bad as Ben Affleck was in portraying Jack Ryan.
That was a cute movie! Most memorable line: Melanie Griffith trying on a teddy Baldwin gave her, and sighing that just once she wished he would give her a present she could use outside the bedroom, LOLOLOL!
I'm not even a fan of hers as eye candy. She looks too stupid.
Other than the Godfather, I never liked Brando at all.
Isn't that Gwyneth's mom. If so, include the daughter in that!!
All the actors you mentioned are completely unwatchabel to me!
Mr. Striesand shouldn't even play John Hinckley, IMO!
Dennis Quaid as Doc Holliday.
