"Made in America" (1993) Ted Danson, Whoopi Goldberg, Nia Long, Will Smith.
This is one of the worst movies ever. Sweet premise, horrible story. However, Will Smith steals the show, especially in the scene where he asks himself out and turns himself down.
I thought Gangs of New York was a horrible movie. It was too bloody and too long but Daniel Day-Lewis did a wonderful performance.
Opposite of the thread topic: Lord of War was an excellent movie overall but Nicholas Cage sucks ass. I know it would seem impossible since he's the lead character, but the movie really does shine beyond his cheesy acting.

Agreed. Who do you think would do a better job?
Nicholas Cage has only ever really shined in one movie.
Raising Arizona.
After that, I can't watch him in any other movie. When he tries to be serious, he just can't act.

I thought he was good in The Family Man and Leaving Las Vegas.

Dunno. I'm not good with imagining casting. Just about anybody, really. :)
I liked Nicholas Gage in Moonlighting. But Cher was better. :)
Eragon. Jeremy Irons.

You mean Moonstruck! Moonlighting was a great TV show with Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd. :)
Stop bagging Nicky baby. He's such a spunk! One of my favourite actors although mostly for the perv. I thought he was great in Con Air, but he has become very badly typecast.
Someone else I love perving at is the guy who played aragorn in lotr. I forget his name now and can't be bothered looking it up, but you know who I mean.

Viggo is pretty badass in "A History of Violence." Anybody who can run a few miles the day after getting stabbed in the foot is a scary motherfucker.
One of my favourite actors is routinely in very bad films.
Dead Man Walking.....no not the the well known hollywood film, the little known sci-fi, apocalyptic-future movie. Awful flm....Jeffrey Combs was, as ever, superb.
From Beyond.....possibly one of the worst [best?] horror films ever made, but worth watching for Jeffrey Combs. He delivers one of my favourite ever movie lines in that film.
"It bit off his head.....like he was a gingerbread man"
Great movie--The Matrix I and II (but III's ending puts it to shame)
Bad actor-- Keanuuuuuuuuuuuu duh
Only the first one was good.

I hope you mean "was a shame" instead of "puts it to shame".
Outstanding movie:
Battle of Algiers.

It is in French and subtitled in English. So if you don't have the skills to read and watch you may not like it. A classic in teaching circles about insurgencies and terrorism.
Shitty movie- Pursuit Of Happyness. Will Smith was great though.
Bad movie: Pirates of the Caribbean
Good performance, as always: J Depp (Keira and Orlando can bite me.)

If Keira bites you I'd make sure you got shots - there's something about her that suggests
dirty to me.
Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. It might be unfair to call it a horrible film, but it certainly wasn't one I rated.

Alan Rickman is great in whatever he does.

So *that's* why GWB hasn't learned from it. Thanks for clearing that up, mercy.
Night Of The Living Dead, the first one. Some good acting.

I love that movie. It's also used in teaching circles to look at the cultural/social/political effects of colonialism.

Bet you $100 that he has never even heard of it, neither has most of his generals, except for those in Spec Ops or SF.

I agree, it really is a great snapshot of so many angles associated with colonialism, terrorism, and the people who are outside those two groups who are affected the most, the population at large. It has some great trailers and bonus features that interview people the movie was based on.
Not to mention it's beautifully directed.
Costner's Wyatt Earp was sorta slow until Dennis Quaid came in as Doc Holiday. I didn't know Quaid could act.
"I'll be your huckleberry."
I love that line.
