I was going to say Gary Oldman, but then I remembered that Tiptoes wasn’t a fever dream.
Jeff Stryker.
Is there a bad Tom Hanks movie? I think maybe Joe Vs The Volcano comes closest, but I still enjoyed it.
The Man With One Red Shoe is much worse than Joe Versus the Volcano. And if made for TV movies count, you have to throw in Mazes and Monsters. Oh and Bonfire of the Vanities was a famous flop. And Volunteers was pretty bad. People forget how bad some of his early stuff was.
Hell, both Forrest Gump and Castaway were tremendously overrated. Also the unwatchable Cloud Atlas and the stupid Dan Brown movies.
<suddenly dawns on me that Tom Hanks makes a lot of bad movies>
Tbh I struggle to come up with an actual good and not just mediocre movie that Tom Hanks was in.
Adding to the trash list: Incredibly loud and extremely close. They massacred the book.
Saving Private Ryan is very good imo
Forrest Gump…tremendously overrated
Thank you. I fucking hated Forrest Gump (inspiration porn is not my genre, fictional inspiration porn much less so) so I’m feeling really validated right now.
Cloud Atlas? Really? That’s one of my favorite movies
I loved Cloud Atlas.
Joe vs the Volcano is brilliant!
i am honestly struggling to think of a good movie that man is in, mediocre and pandering are the two words i would use to describe.
Saving Private Ryan is at least “very good” if not one of the greatest war movies of all time.
And The Burbs is classic 80s screwball comedy simmered to perfection (even if it isn’t a 'high art ’ genre)
Plus Saving Private Ryan directly allowed him to make Band of Brothers which is easily one of the best wat shows of all time.
The burbs. Great movie!
Christopher Walken?
A View to a Kill is one of the worst bond movies
A shame too because it was such a waste to use Walken and Duran Duran in such a crappy movie.
Biloxi Blues, baby.
“You would need two promotions to get to be an asshole.”
2 people I know watched Mouse Hunt for the first time this month and both hated it. Not really his movie though, I guess
Joe rogan
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…?
Look, I love me some Jason Statham being overly British and kicking ass for upward two hours while barely making a face, so I’m going to say Jason Statham.
Have you seen the beekeeper? Terrible film.
I’m constantly astounded that people seem to unironically enjoy that movie. I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade so I stay away from discussions about it, but I saw it in theaters (because I also love Jason Statham) and immediately regretted it. It felt like it was written as a joke, but then tried to take itself seriously, and failed at both. I feel like I’m getting pranked by people saying they like that movie.
The whole bee thing felt forced.
No that movie was great.
No that movie was amazing!
Joe Cazale! Only five movies, but all five awarded nominees for Oscar Best Picture!
Charles Bronson
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 Hackman had a pretty good run
All my life, I would always watch ANY movie that Gene Hackman was in. I never saw him give a bad performance.
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.
I haven’t seen more than 3 of his movies, but Heath Ledger seems to have been consistently great.
THE Harold Zoid!
