Top 15 Worst Film Performances

demonrail666 · 02.27.2010, 02:04 AM

In response to batrelaser's 'favourite' thread, list the 15 film performances that annoy you the most.

1. Richard Burton in Exorcist II: The Heretic
2. Nicholas Cage in 8mm and The Wickerman remake
3. Keannu Reeves in Dracula
4. Madonna in Body of Evidence and Swept Away
5. Jude Law in anything
6. Jason Statham in Revolver
7. Liv Tyler in Cookie's Fortune
8. Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs
9. Daniel Craig in Quantum of Solace (you're doing Bond wrong!)
10. Mickey Rourke in 9 1/2 Weeks
11. Everyone involved with Green Street
12. Dennis Hopper in about 75% of his films
13. Liz Hurley in Beyond Bedlam (needs to be seen to be believed)
14. Adam Goldberg as 'Mike' in Dazed and Confused (I like that movie and I know lots of people liked him in it but he just came over like a brat Woody Allen to me).
15. Jenette Goldstein as 'Vasquez' in Aliens (from the minute she walked onto the screen I knew I was gonna hate that movie)

That was actually far more difficult than I'd imagined.

2. jake gylenhaal in donnie darko
3. christian bale in harsh times ("YOU WANNA GET FUUUUUUUCKED UPPPPPPPPP?")

6. keanu reeves in the matrix 3
7. johnny depp in pirates of the caribean 1-3

That's actually the first time I'd seen DiCaprio where I saw what all the fuss was about. I don't think it's that great a movie but I do think he's brilliant in it. Matt Damon was inevitably still shit in it either way.

Greer Garson - Julius Caesar
Ingrid Boulting - The Last Tycoon
Matt Damon - Rounders (how could he beat anyone playing poker in that movie when every time he spots an ace his face shows so much is a mystery) (I'm baffled to see him casted in good movies - the second movie DeNiro directed for instance)
Larry Fishburne - School Daze (the movie was terrible, he gave up very early)
Ashton Kutcher - The Butterfly Effect
Crispin Glover - River's Edge (gets on my nerves; in Willard, I found him good)
Théo Sarapo - Georges Franju's Judex (the only time I heard an audience laugh at a line that wasn't meant to be funny "you're my father!")

I'd say Hillary Swank was quite good in the Black Dahlia; the movie remains terrible (Josh Hartnett)

I know I'm in a minority with this but I really do think she sort of encapsulates what I hate about that film. She was one of those characters that, the minute I saw her I just wanted her to be killed off as quickly as possible.

I'm with you, I think the movie is okay, but god did I hate her character.

1. The Mother in Troll 2
2. The Vegetable Loving Demon Lady in Troll 2
3. The Father in Troll 2
4. The son in Troll 2
5. The OMG-guy in Troll 2
6. The Perverted Cop in Troll 2
7. That fucking Grandpa in Troll 2
8. The Daughter in Troll 2
9. Everyone in the Goblin family in the beginning
10. The Peter Pan guy in the beginning in Troll 2
11. The daughter's boyfriend in Troll 2
12. The strange goblin in Troll 2
13. The guy in the milkstore in Troll 2
14. Keanu Reeves in everything he's done
15. The perverted cop's even more perverted friend with the moustache in Troll 2

nicholas cage in general

i think he's more successful as a meme than an actor

atsonicpark · 02.27.2010, 01:32 PM

Nic Cage is awesome. Raising Arizonia, Deadfall, Wild at Heart, Bringing Out the Dead, the Weather Man, Matchstick Men, etc etc etc etc. I'd take him any day over someone like Russel fucking Crowe.

jon boy · 02.27.2010, 01:45 PM

keannu reeves in everything, he just cant act!
christian bale in just about everything but especially american psycho
jack black can fuck the fuck off too.
kate winslett is the same in every fucking film she is in.
ben affleck is one of the worst people imaginable.

demonrail666 · 02.27.2010, 01:55 PM

Al Pacino in Devil's Advocate. He manages to shout his way through the entire film ... even more than usual.

He's a great actor (Gattaca, The Talented Mr Ripley)

atsonicpark · 02.27.2010, 02:55 PM

Glad someone else hated Christian Bale. He's TERRIBLE.

he really does do a lot of great work.

think of all the different directors he's worked with:

Coens
Scorcese
Lynch
Herzog

etc etc

davenotdead · 02.27.2010, 02:56 PM

i like Bale in American Psycho, and in thin red line and the prestige.

he wasnt in the thin red line.

Pax Americana · 02.27.2010, 03:30 PM

Nicholas Cage in any 15 movies he's been in. Hayden Skywalker is a good call too. Who thought it was a good idea to cast him in anything?? Not that the Star Wars prequels can really be used to judge who is and isn't a good actor, cause everyone looked like dog shit in those movies.
