Jessica Chastain

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.

[-] TheKracken@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Have you seen the beekeeper? Terrible film.

[-] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

No that movie was great.

[-] asqapro@reddthat.com 3 points 13 hours ago

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.

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).

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.

I'm not a huge fan of Tom Cruise and also 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

[-] Scrollone@feddit.it 1 points 27 minutes ago

I'd also add Eyes Wide Shut

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours 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.

[-] pwnicholson@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day 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.

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Eyes Wide Shut. What a piece of crap.

[-] Smaagi@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day 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.""

[-] pwnicholson@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Ah, I've even seen that one! Good call

michelle yeoh, she was the only part of STD that was watchable. she has her niche films though.

[-] thewanderingbackpack@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

lol EEAAO is not for everyone

[-] mrks@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago

Leonardo DiCaprio?

Churning out good movies since he was a kid.

Is there a really bad movie with him?

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 1 points 55 minutes ago

"Romeo and juliet" adaptation was garbage imo

[-] pwnicholson@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Titanic was a hit, but in retrospect, horribly overrated and IMHO absolutely cliche, disrespectful, sacrilegious garbage.

[-] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

I'm sorry but... Most of them? Especially since it's his performance that has become poor. He is playing himself more and more. A similar thing happened to Johnny Depp. Look at both of them in What's Eating Gilbert Grape and then at stuff like Great Gatsby, Wolf of Wall Street, Shutter's Island, Django / Willy Wonka, Pirates of the Carribean, Shadows, Transcendence. The acting and characters are so similar and they don't give an effort anymore (or try to, and absolutely overdo it).

(Sorry I somehow incorporated a Johnny Depp rant in a critic of DiCaprio, their story of decline is just too similar to me. And Gilbert Grape is an amazing movie.)

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 2 points 22 hours ago

The Beach is notoriously bad

[-] tmyakal@lemm.ee 2 points 15 hours ago

The Beach was just too weird for the Titanic fans. It was right in the wheelhouse for Danny Boyle fans at the time.

Of course the book was better, but I really enjoyed the movie for what it was.

[-] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 13 points 1 day ago

THE Harold Zoid!

[-] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

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

Gene Wilder was the first that came to my mind.

Then Richard Pryor.

Gene Hackman had a pretty good run

[-] Scrollone@feddit.it 2 points 26 minutes ago

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.

[-] harryprayiv@infosec.pub 24 points 1 day ago
[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

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.

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