[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Damn, I was gonna say Denzel the second I saw this list. Okay then, I'll go with Christian Bale. [/ QUOTE ] QFMFT-- this guy doesnt [censored] around, 90% of any movie he signs on for he KNOWS is going to be good, and he doesnt sign on for [censored]/typical roles either-- he takes on the most challenging and diversifiede roles possible, unlike Denzel who takes on the same role in just about every movie, not saying hes bad, hes fantastic, but Christian Bale wins this thread, /thread. [/ QUOTE ] I agree. Man has serious acting skills and seems to look for roles where he can push it to the limit, he is amazing! [/ QUOTE ] r u referring to denzel or bale [/ QUOTE ] Mr Bale. Denzel just like some other big names are always themself when the act. Denzel is always Denzel no matter what role he is doing. Bale just takes it to antoher level, IMO |
Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
Denzel had a solid performance in John Q, but the movie overall sucked.

Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Yeah, true. What about Kevin Spacey? I don't think I've seen a lot of his movies, but I can't think of any bad ones. The Negotiator, but I wouldn't say that was bad, it was decent, I thought. [/ QUOTE ] He was in Pay It Forward and that is one of the worst movies I have ever seen and it takes A LOT for me not to like a movie. [/ QUOTE ] I don't understand why everybody seems to hate this movie so much. It wasn't a great movie by any means, but I don't think it was anywhere near terrible. A bit cliche in parts, especially the ending, but I liked it. I like pretty much every Spacey flick though, but I don't really get why everybody thinks this movie is horrible. I suppose this one is debatable, but if you like Adam Sandler then you pretty much like every Adam Sandler movie. |
Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
Daniel-Day Lewis is the only actor that is "close." Only b/c he never "just took roles" in his career and completely anal about every script he takes on, with that said Ballad of Jack and Rose was awful.
This is a good thread in concept but it doesn't work, every actor has done a bad movie--fact. Even the great ones have done [censored] roles at some point in their career. The real answer is nobody. Btw, DiCaprio is a total G. |
Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
You didn't read the OP did you?
[ QUOTE ] Which actors with more than say 20 movies have made the fewest "weak" movies. [/ QUOTE ] |
Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
Bostaevski,
Why would I read the OP when the title says "Actors that can't make a bad movie"? Then after that title he goes on to write..."which actors w/ more than say 20 movies have made the fewest "weak" movies"? wtf? |
Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
It seems weird that you would read all the responses but not the OP
|
Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
Haha, well that's what I get for assuming right! Anyway, usually threads w/ these kinds of titles don't have OP's that throw complete 180's at you so I just wanted to read the responses and not waste time w/ what I thought I already knew was going to be in the OP.

[/ QUOTE ] C'mon T didnt you learn anything from Felix Unger about assume. Anyway I dont believe it was a "180", but I did not want some people to take it literally. Besides if I made the title "Actors that have done at least 20 movies, with the fewest bombs", it just wouldnt roll of the tongue as easily. So from the replies do we have a winner? |
Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
what about marlon brando? the dude was in tons of classic movies, had some bit roles in crappier movies, but still a solid track record...

Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
Kevin Kline
Claire Danes John Cusack Sigourney Weaver Bill Murray These are some actors who were not mentioned in this thread yet. Although I can not claim to have watched all movies they have made and although they probably have made bad movies in other people's eyes I enjoyed all their performences in the ones I have actually seen. This is also true for Matt Damon, Tobey Maguire and Kevin Spacey. But those were already mentioned above. |

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Tobey Maguire made Spiderman 1 2 3, this sort of eliminates him right off the bat. [/ QUOTE ] ? The first two spiderman movies are as good as a movie based on a comic book can get (other than Sin City) imo. Granted, the third one sucked, and none of them are, or aspire to be, art, but they're still good movies. [/ QUOTE ] Check out Superman with Christopher Reeves, Batman (Begins?) with whats that dudes name...Wow, I can't remember the lead, but Michael Caine and Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman are in it. Those were both good movies. I thought the first Spiderman was decent, thought the 2nd was terrible, and therefore I didn't bother to see the third, which I heard was even worse. [/ QUOTE ] Spider-Man 1 & 2 are better than those. Official super hero movie rankings: 1. Spider-Man 2. Spider-Man 2 3. Batman Begins 4. Superman 5. Superman 2 6. X-Men Other stuff |
Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
Good list, Mr. M. I just have a few changes.
[ QUOTE ] 0. The Incredibles 1. Spider-Man 2. Spider-Man 2 3. Batman: Mask of the Phantasm 4. Superman 5. Superman 2 6. X-Men Other stuff [/ QUOTE ] |
Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
I'd put the X-men movies ahead of spiderman movies, superman ahead of spider man, and batman begins ahead.
Mostly for the fact that all these movies had great actors (in order by movie mentione: X-men: Ian Mclellan, Hugh jackman, Patrick Stewart. Superman: Gene Hackman. Batman Begins: Liam Neeson, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Ken Watanabe, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman) Instead of Toby Maguire, who basically just plays a big pussy in Spiderman 1,2. (And I'd assume his other movies. I never saw the horse one) And weren't directed by the man who did the MASTERFUL camera work on Xena the warrior princess and Hercules, but instead, as in the case of Christopher Nolan, did the amazing Memento and Prestige. idk man. IMDB agrees with me on Batman Begins at least. |
Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
I'd definitely put Batman Begins as the best superhero movie ever, and X-Men 2 and Spiderman 2 rank up there.
I also have a soft spot for The Crow, The Hulk, Dolph Lundgren's The Punisher, and Hellboy |

Has anyone mentioned some of the kung fu guys. Bruce Lee was great in all of his movies although it depends on what you consider acting.
