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.
Kevin Costner as Robin Hood.
I post the articles about all subjects. This place needs SOMEONE to lead the pack. LOL
Thanks for playing tonight, you are a kick in the shin..er I mean pants. See ya!
Kevin costner as a baseball player.
It's probably good that you are a terrible judge of men's looks. ;-)
John Wayne's not bad, actually. Loved him in 'The Quiet Man'. Remember Mike Connors, in 'Mannix'? Same kind of rugged good looks. I was in love with Mannix as a little girl. But, shhhh!, the pc culture has scared away all the rugged men in favor of metrosexuals, and they don't want people to be reminiscing about the rugged men!
Goodnight Freepers
Nothing wrong with that..you enjoyed Hook..people have different tastes with movies..one movie I didn't like..that everyone..even oscar..liked "Silence of the Lambs"..hated it..it didn't make sense..it was highly unlikely..and just plain stupid..sorry..my two cents..and I like Anthony Hopkins..sorry he is remembered as a psycopath who eats people..in a bad movie..yeah.. I said it..
The Howard Huges cameo appearance in 'Tucker' was awesome, even if it never happened!
Any students of Tucker or Hughes know if it did actually happen?
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...
Bingo! For me, it's Julia Roberts in anything Zero range or believability. Ruins any movie she goes near. Maybe now that she's has kids, she will give it a rest already and give us all some blessed relief from stinking up the screens!
William Bendix as Babe Ruth. Speaking of baseball players.
"And his attacks on Brooke Shields, shameless."
Yeah. There was something--possibly--insane about
those. Made me wonder about. . . .
Marvin!
Eastwood!
A musical!
Sure. Diamonds are Forever was after Sean Connery left. And whether or not you consider it part of the canon, so was Never Say Never Again.
I thought Evita was a good role for her.
Alec Baldwin as Alec Baldwin.
Yeah, but if you hire a real vampire they don't show up on film. ;)
When I saw this thread I thought of something else: the biggest Oscar rip-offs, like Val Kilmer's not receiving even a nomination for his role of Doc Holliday in "Tombstone."
I don't know if there's enough material here, perhaps freepers will rise to the occasion.
I wanted to be Sean Connery as a kid.....for very obvious reasons. LOL
Tired of the maid look already?
