    Kindgarten Cop is a bit of a cult classic, so many memorable quotes i.e. "Who is your Daddy and what does he do?". I will give you Jingle All The Way but who in fairness has ever done a good christmas movie?
    That goes back to Bruce Willis and Die Hard 1 and 2. :P

    I enjoyed the beach :o

    Trying to think of a bad Brad Pitt movie
    I know The Mexican wasnt great but it wasnt rubbish

    The vastly overrated Julia Roberts is terrible imo. Pretty Woman and Sleeping with the Enemy were her only good ones

    Norton has been in his far share of bad films.

    I wouldn't say any of those are particularly bad.

    indeed but it just a personal opinion and imo

    from Leonardo's character that I couldnt give two flying sh1ts about the implausible plot elements in The Beach and a story that meanders aimlessly

    And on to Titanic, apart from a decent half hour when the ship was sinking its just a very mediocre to bad romance snoose fest

    And the travisty that was The Departed it was just a bad remake of the vastly superior Infernal Affairs, didnt think Scorsese could get it so wrong with a mafia movie

    But all 3 movies were fairly well recieved IIRC. I enjoyed the beach, liked the departed and felt titanic was vastly overrated. But none imo were truly terrible films, i'll have to imdb leo and see his films but i cant think of any that are jingle all the way bad.

    Also i just thought of daniel day lewis? Although nine looked ****e

    Nine was sh**e! Not because Daniel Day-Lewis' performance was poor but because the film just wasnt very good at all. He's done a good few films aside from the the major blockbusters, I havent seen a lot them like The Age of Innocence, The Ballad of Jack and Rose etc so I would imagine there has to be at least one stinker in there as well.

    I may be wrong but usually if a film stars Clint Eastwood, then it's worth watching!

    Paint your Wagon anyone?

    That's a great film. It's hilarious (intentionally so).

    Leonardo Di Caprio

    Cant think of one bad movie, some people will rush in and say "Titanic", but you would be wrong.

    cant think of any really sh!te ones but surrogates pretty bad

    Hudson Hawk wasnt great but I disagreed with the flamed panning it got at the time. It was no worse than Arnie's Last Action Hero.


    last action hero is a great film. doesnt take itself seriously at all. the only bad thing about it was that f***ing kid


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,700 ✭✭✭irishh_bob


    I reckon Arnold Schwarzenegger has never made a film I didnt like. Thats only if he is playing a major role in a film though, he's done a few bad ones where he's only a secondary character(Batman & Robin) or just a cameo(Terminator Salvation)

    arnie hasnt made a good movie since true lies , still love em though


  • Site Banned Posts: 1,856 ✭✭✭paddy kerins


    havent seen a bad film with patrick wilson in it

    Robert Redford and Brad Pitt haven't been in many bad films.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    I admit I haven't seen all their films, but I've certainly enjoyed all the films the following were in:

    Jake Gyllenhaal
    Clive Owen
    Philip Seymour Hoffmann
    Billy Cruddup (though wasn't Watchmen meant to be crap?)
    Guy Pearce

    ... off the top of my head.

    Saw Batman Forever yesterday, a black mark on Tommy Lee Jones' resume. Still, Nicole Kidman was nyommage.

    I'd actually put uma therman's bad superhero movie as Batman & Robin, enjoyed the over-the-top superhero fight (not much else tho) in super ex GirlF

    Also, for Nicole Kidman, i give you Bewitched. Loved the casting, hated the story they put in it. That segways (hur hur) as someone else's bad movie, Will Ferrell.

    'Every actor makes at least one bad movie' - I give you Alec Baldwin as Mr Conductor in Thomas and the the Magic Railroad. I do know that Alec has made some other bad decisions (Pearl Harbor anyone?).. but this is just shocking stuff..

    I can understand that he might have done Spongebob the Movie to impress his kids... but this wouldn't impress even the hardened Thomas the Tank Engine fans!!..

    Alright, i'm going to stand up for Alec on two counts:

    One- Thomas the Tank, maybe he read the script and thought it was acceptable for the target market (toddlers).

    Two-something as patriotic as Pearl Harbour would've been a hard one to turn down.
