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.
LOL, yup, this.
Prime example: Oscar (1991)
It got bad reviews (I loved it) but Curry’s performance was amazing.
I love that man.
Muppets Treasure Island. 🎤🫳⬇️
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).
John Cazale
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
Gene Hackman had a pretty good run
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.
Probably Daniel Day Lewis. He’s extremely picky about what he’s in.
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
THE Harold Zoid!
Gene Wilder was the first that came to my mind.
Then Richard Pryor.
🎶 Richard Pryor… didn’t have to catch on fire 🎵
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
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.
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.””
Ah, I’ve even seen that one! Good call
Knight and Day is 100% forgettable straight to streaming crap.
But Rock of Ages was as good as it could’ve been
Eyes Wide Shut. What a piece of crap.
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.
Hollywood lore on YouTube hasn’t done a video on him yet.
I’d also add Eyes Wide Shut

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…
Were they bad, though?
Yes
Bill Cosby and OJ Simpson … how can you go wrong!?
What do you mean? They were both acquitted of their crimes.
I’ve never heard of any of them besides the naked gun movies.
So probably.
nvm
I haven’t seen more than 3 of his movies, but Heath Ledger seems to have been consistently great.
michelle yeoh, she was the only part of STD that was watchable. she has her niche films though.
lol EEAAO is not for everyone
Bela Lugosi
I heard from Bauhaus that he’s dead.
Undead! Undead! Undead!

Plan 9 from Outer Space!
Dubbed the worst film ever made. To be fair to Bela Lugosi, he had no choice in the matter as he appeared in the film posthumously.
Dubbed the worst film ever made.
hey no fair. being tricked as an art student into watching that is a rite of passage
Christopher Walken?
A View to a Kill is one of the worst bond movies
A shame too because it was such a waste to use Walken and Duran Duran in such a crappy movie.
2 people I know watched Mouse Hunt for the first time this month and both hated it. Not really his movie though, I guess
Biloxi Blues, baby.
“You would need two promotions to get to be an asshole.”
Tom Hanks.
I’ve never seen a bad Tom Hanks movie.
He is in this abomination of a book adaptation for Incredibly loud and extremely close.
I actually kinda liked it and btw it was nominated for best picture
You should make sure to say T. Hanks.
Tom Hanks is close, but Cloud Atlas exists.
Cloud Atlas was brilliant.
Elvis. Sully. There’s two right off the top of my head.
Fuck the film Sully for dragging the NTSB through the mud for fake drama. Absolute fucking hack writing that disrespects heroes of safety.
