Actors that cant make a bad movie...
 

Which actors with more than say 20 movies have made the fewest "weak" movies.

I say Denzel. Most of his movies are real good, and none were truly bad.IMo deja vu was his worst and was still entertaining.

Denzel is also the first name that comes to mind. He does have Sid 6.7 (now known as Virtuosity). This movie has two great actors in the same movie, but it is really bad (the other great actor is Russell Crowe).

Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
 

Edward Norton has made a lot of amazing movies. There's a handful of his movies that I haven't seen so I'm not sure if he completely fits the "can't make a bad movie" shoe, but when I see he's in a movie I bump its credibility up a notch.

Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
 

Russell Crowe and it isn't even close.

Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
 

Johnny Depp...wait...Pirates...bah...=(

Russell Crowe for sure.

Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
 

Damn, I was gonna say Denzel the second I saw this list.


Okay then, I'll go with Christian Bale.

I think Crowe is a good choice, he makes so many good movies.

This may sound weird, but Harrison Ford comes to mind. He does a lot of mediocre movies, but hardly any out right bad ones, in my opinion.

Deniro is a good choice...Can't think of any bad movies he's done, except maybe Meet the Parents1/2, but I thought those were funny.

Pacino, same thing, although I think he's done more worse movies than Deniro.

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.

Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
 

Arnold. All his movies are kick ass. Even jingle all the way is my fav xmas movie.

Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
 

Tom Cruise ?

Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
 

George Clooney imo. The movies he's actually interested in are really good and the ones he does for the money aren't too crappy either (apart from batman and robin).

Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
 

The first person I thought of was Daniel Day-Lewis, but I'm not even sure he's made 20 movies. So I'll go with Denzel Washington.

This is terribly wrong IMO. Hollywood Homicide, Firewall, Six Days Seven Nights were all terrible. He hasn't made a really good movie since The Fugitive.

Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
 

I disagree with Denzel, he's on contract to make one action thriller a year and most are meh. Ford as well.

How bout Philip Seymour Hoffman?

Bah, just checked his IMDB and he's got some weak ones in there.

This is a pretty tough one.

even his worst are ok (somehow [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] )

Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
 

DeCaprio and Crowe already mentioned in this thread, but just wanted to say, both in The Quick and the Dead.

I love this movie personally, and think both actors do a bang up job (even Sharon Stone is good in it) but lots of people loathe it.

Agreed he's awesome, but deatrh to smoochy was horrible

Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
 

will be pretty hard to find one actor without _one_ bad movie

reasons imo

- if they are young they have to take crappy books
leo was very forunate imo

- they do stuff _just_ for the money , so they can afford the non mainstream "art" stuff , i guess clooney mentioned this in a interview

Absolutly, thats why I was amazed that denzel's list is so good (okay virtuosity), but even his young stuf is good. FWIW I really liked carbon Copy.

Daniel Day-Lewis

I was thinking of putting up Steve Buscemi, Christopher Walken or Benecio Del Toro but when I went down the IMDB list of their movies there were many bad ones. Then I checked on Arnold and from Conan on he is pretty solid all the way through. I guess he's a good "decider" [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].

Each one of the actors mentioned has been in a movie that I thought was mediocre, at best. But as been said, it's inevitable that even the best actors put out some duds. It's usually not their fault.

Matt Damon?

Which one was DiCaprio's mediocre movie?

Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
 

The Beach would certainly qualify as mediocre or less.

Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
 

Heh. I had forgotten about that one. Good point.

Re: Actors that cant make a bad movie...
 

All of the actors mentioned have a high batting average, but I don't think you're going to find anybody who doesn't have their share of bad flicks.

I think a more interesting question might be "Who is the best actor with the most bad movies?"

Kevin Costner FTW?
