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).
Viggo Mortensen
If only he skipped Daylight.
Gene Wilder was the first that came to my mind.
Then Richard Pryor.
🎶 Richard Pryor… didn’t have to catch on fire 🎵
Gene Hackman had a pretty good run
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
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.
Knight and Day is 100% forgettable straight to streaming crap.
But Rock of Ages was as good as it could’ve been
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.
Hollywood lore on YouTube hasn’t done a video on him yet.
A Few Good Men has my favourite Tom Cruise roll
Christopher Walken?
2 people I know watched Mouse Hunt for the first time this month and both hated it. Not really his movie though, I guess
Biloxi Blues, baby.
“You would need two promotions to get to be an asshole.”
Bela Lugosi
I heard from Bauhaus that he’s dead.
Undead! Undead! Undead!

Plan 9 from Outer Space!
Dubbed the worst film ever made. To be fair to Bela Lugosi, he had no choice in the matter as he appeared in the film posthumously.
Dubbed the worst film ever made.
hey no fair. being tricked as an art student into watching that is a rite of passage
Rick moranis?
I was going to say “OJ Simpson”, knowing he was in The Naked Gun. I figured he got the part because of his notority as a football player, and figured it was his only film.
Turns out he’s been acting since at least the mid 70s. He’s been in lile 15 movies. Which is kind of weird, knowing what he did later.
So, I guess I can’t say O.J Simpson…
Were they bad, though?
Yes
Bill Cosby and OJ Simpson … how can you go wrong!?
What do you mean? They were both acquitted of their crimes.
I’ve never heard of any of them besides the naked gun movies.
So probably.
Tom Hanks.
I’ve never seen a bad Tom Hanks movie.
You should make sure to say T. Hanks.
Charles Bronson
Dolly Parton
Is there a bad Tom Hanks movie? I think maybe Joe Vs The Volcano comes closest, but I still enjoyed it.
I was going to say Gary Oldman, but then I remembered that Tiptoes wasn’t a fever dream.
