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.

"Yes, I know, I said snatch. But the movie was really funny. Not funny ha ha, but funny in a crazy way."

I love that movie. Pit's Dialog in that flick is funny as hell!

I will admit to seeing The Rock, and he did do okay..Im thinking it had something to do with being onscreen with Sean Connery ! :o)

I thought he did OK in Live and Let Die. Maybe only because the movie was a good one. He stunk in most others.

[Doohickey]

Hamill was fine as Skywalker until he got into that wreck and messed up his face. I blame the bad acting on George Lucas; none of his movies have been well acted.

[pissant]

Did Lucas do Jaws? I thought the acting in that was good.

[Doohickey]

No, Jaws was directed by Steven Spielberg. He did direct American Graffiti, though. He also produced the Indiana Jones series.

Jaws was a very good movie. Casting Robert Shaw with Richard Dreyfuss worked perfectly.
