Fucking legend
Well I know what I'm doing this afternoon
There is no other answer than this.
The actor who had only bad films.
Or an actor that only did television shows.
Nicholas Cage. And I'm ready to die on that hill.
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance?
Wickerman. Go.
We may have slightly different definitions of good, but fair enough.
Omg the top comment on that first video:
"I don't even think that girl knew she was being filmed."
Amazing.
See, I can think of a few movies of his that I have problems with. Yet I wouldn't call them bad, only missing a few cylinders to bring them to perfect. He has been in a few that are top, damn Con Air is about the perfect movie ever for what it was aiming to be.
Prisoners of the ghostland would like a word
I just can't take Vampire's Kiss.
Brandon Lee
Correct, but also sad
Daniel Day Lewis
His filmography is very limited because he was extremely picky about what he appeared in. But even still, I think all of his movies were good, even if done of them were uncomfortable to watch.
Nine (2009) has entered the chat
~~Daniel Day Lewis isn't in 9, and it's not a bad movie.~~ 9 != Nine. To my defense, they were both released in 2009
Adam Sandler
The best kind of correct!
James Stewart, James Cagney
Tom Waits, maybe?
He sure as hell did better acting than Keanu in Dracula.
he plays the part straight out of the book!
What about movies where the actor’s performance was the only good thing in an otherwise bad film? I don’t think those should count against the actor. They did their job well; it’s not their fault the rest of the production sucked.
Every Nick Cage movie ever
