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.
And Val Kilmer as Batman
Chuck Connors as a blue-eyed Geronimo.
I like EGR in anything. It cracks me up to look at him!
crack me up is better than up me crack!
you have a website? A pissant website? My heart flutters....
I agree. Hamill was supposed to be naive.
Hayden was way too whiny, too skinny, too effemine.
George Clooney as batman.
OK, now that's beyond the pale. You owe all Freepers and lurkers an apology.
He's been dumb in every movie I've seen him in:
The AvIaTOR (horrible depicton of HH - what was Scorsese smoking?)
Gangs of NY (Again what's going with Scorsese?_
The Beach - bad movie and bad all around
Titanic - who cares? It's about the boat.
What about Will Smith in "I, Robot". He basically has the same character in all of his movies...Bad Boys, Independence Day, Men In Black, etc.
I thought Brad Pitt was fine for that role in fight club.
A little off, but I thought Russell Crowe in "Master and Commander" was great. I really enjoyed the movie. There were actually quite a few familiar faces in it. Like Paul Bettany as the Doctor. Good movie all around..
Did he look good in tights though?
They needed somebody more like a young Rutger Hauer.

You took the words aways from me. Hauer would have done wonders as Lestat.
Edward G. Robinson in "Moses."
Yes. Send me all your $$$ or it will be in tights, tutu and a beehive hairdo!
Is that the one set in Nazi germany?
It's expensive, but worth it. LOL
There's alot of chicks who liked Pitt in a that movie. And maybe one or two guys....LOL
One I shall soon rent.
What kills me is when any movie is set in ancient Greece or any alien planet, the actors ALL have either an english or scottish accent. Yes, all my martians came from Scotland.
