  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.

    It’s free on YouTube.

  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).

    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.

  Viggo Mortensen

  Probably Daniel Day Lewis. He’s extremely picky about what he’s in.

  • spankmonkey@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    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

    • barneypiccolo@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      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’m not a fan of Tom Cruise and alo 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

  source

  • pwnicholson@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    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.

    source

    • Smaagi@lemm.ee ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      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.””

      Eyes Wide Shut. What a piece of crap.

    • lepinkainen@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Knight and Day is 100% forgettable straight to streaming crap.

      But Rock of Ages was as good as it could’ve been

    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.

    source
  • Professorozone@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    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.

      Ehhh… Had Kubrick’s name not been attached, nobody would remember that movie at all.

  Gene Wilder was the first that came to my mind.

  Then Richard Pryor.

  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.

    source

    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.

• Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  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…

  source

  • Freshparsnip@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    He guest starred in an episode of a children’s show “Adventures in Wonderland”. The episode never aired because of the whole murder incident. So the episode was filmed so close to the time of the murder, it didn’t make it to air. Did he know he was going to commit murder while he was acting in a children’s show?

      So probably.

  I haven’t seen more than 3 of his movies, but Heath Ledger seems to have been consistently great.

  Christopher Walken?

    A View to a Kill is one of the worst bond movies

    • bigb@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      A shame too because it was such a waste to use Walken and Duran Duran in such a crappy movie.

    Dubbed the worst film ever made. To be fair to Bela Lugosi, he had no choice in the matter as he appeared in it film posthumously.

    Tom Hanks is close, but Cloud Atlas exists.

  I mean… It depends what you consider a bad film.

  IMO, Raul Julia hasn’t been in a single bad movie. And, yes, I have seen Overdrawn at the Memory Bank.
