Tim Curry.
And before you tell me he was in some notoriously shit movies, no they weren’t, Tim Curry was in those movies, so they’re great movies.
Prime example: Oscar (1991)
It got bad reviews (I loved it) but Curry’s performance was amazing.
I love that man.
LOL, yup, this.
That episode of Lexx was good too
This should have won him a Oscar (BAFTA?)
Muppets Treasure Island. 🎤🫳⬇️
James Dean. Credited in only 3 films (appeared in a few more as an extra):
- East of Eden
- Rebel Without a Cause
- Giant
All 3 are above average on IMDb (> 7).
John Cazale
Yep, this is the one I was scrolling down to find.
Godfather.
Godfather 2.
The Conversation.
Dog Day Afternoon.
The Deer Hunter.All five Best Picture Oscar nominees, three winners.
Possibly the only proper answer if we put a minimum on the number of films required to be considered.
Probably Daniel Day Lewis. He’s extremely picky about what he’s in.
Nine was poorly reviewed by critics and audiences.
But otherwise his choices have been solid.
Phantom Thread was amazing… Might need to watch that one again
My wife and son love that movie, and want to watch it about once a year. I despise it. Boring, and really, really stupid.
I could understand someone finding it boring, but what was really really stupid about it?
A love story about poisoning?
You can reduce literally any film to one sentence that makes it sound stupid.
“Citizen Kane is stupid, its a story about a rich guy who really liked his sled.”
Even still… oversimplification aside, I don’t see anything inherently stupid about “a love story about poisoning”
I find the basic premise to be too implausible to be entertaining.
Did you watch the film, or…?
Me. I’m not in any films.
Viggo Mortensen
If only he skipped Daylight.
Gene Hackman had a pretty good run
The Conversation is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. The feeling you get from that movie is so strange and I love it.
All my life, I would always watch ANY movie that Gene Hackman was in. I never saw him give a bad performance.
THE Harold Zoid!
Rick moranis?
I knew it, I’m surrounded by Assholes
I’m not a huge fan of Tom Cruise and also never watched the MI franchise, but otherwise he knows how to pick good scripts… Last Samurai, Vanilla Sky, Tropic Thunder, Minority Report, Top Gun, Rain man, Edge of Tomorrow, The Firm. There are still a bunch I never saw so there may be some rotten tomatoes in the basket
Agree he had a very high hit rate, and personal life aside, I enjoy most of his movies.
But MI:2 and MI:3 are mediocre at best, and Knight and Day and Rock of Ages were massive flops (I haven’t seen either, but i they look horrible). Cocktail earned him a razzie nomination.
Don’t forget The Mummy remake, it was so bad they cancelled the Dark Universe because of it.
““Kurtzman called the experience “brutal” and described The Mummy as “probably the biggest failure” of his life.””
Ah, I’ve even seen that one! Good call
Knight and Day is 100% forgettable straight to streaming crap.
But Rock of Ages was as good as it could’ve been
He was kind of amazing in Rock of Ages. That was a unique character in his catalogue, I’ve never seen him play a role anything like it.
Im also a big fan of Les Grossman.
Eyes Wide Shut. What a piece of crap.
He DOES have some bad movies, but not many. I really don’t like the guy either, but I like a lot of his movies. You forgot Oblivion and Jerry Maguire for instance.
His Scientology bullshit creeps me out to the max, but i have to admit that i will watch any movie he makes, because they are always good, and sometimes great.
Do yourself a favor, and watch the MI series. They are nonsensical but really fun, with some of the best action sequences ever filmed, and he does the stunts himself. They also get better as the series comtinues.
Hollywood lore on YouTube hasn’t done a video on him yet.
A Few Good Men has my favourite Tom Cruise roll
I’d also add Eyes Wide Shut
deleted by creator
I haven’t seen more than 3 of his movies, but Heath Ledger seems to have been consistently great.
michelle yeoh, she was the only part of STD that was watchable. she has her niche films though.
lol EEAAO is not for everyone
Gene Wilder was the first that came to my mind.
Then Richard Pryor.
🎶 Richard Pryor… didn’t have to catch on fire 🎵
Tom Hanks.
I’ve never seen a bad Tom Hanks movie.
Tom Hanks is close, but Cloud Atlas exists.
Cloud Atlas was brilliant.
I wanted to like Cloud Atlas. It felt like it was fighting itself for air time. I’ll give it another try someday.
It really was.
Elvis. Sully. There’s two right off the top of my head.
Fuck the film Sully for dragging the NTSB through the mud for fake drama. Absolute fucking hack writing that disrespects heroes of safety.
You should make sure to say T. Hanks.
He is in this abomination of a book adaptation for Incredibly loud and extremely close.
I actually kinda liked it and btw it was nominated for best picture
I like pretty much anything Fred Ward was in. Remo Williams will never die
Remo Williams is an under-rated masterpiece. It should have been an extended franchise, but they weren’t really much into that back then.
dobermans chasing you up ladders is nightmare fuel.
Miami Blues was such a treat.
