    Mark Wahlberg - Shooter

    Maybe because I read (and loved) the book (Point of Impact)...hated the movie.
    I thought the topic was good actors?

    I agree with the Batman and Robin movie for sure!

    Also, Liam Neeson in The Grey ... that movie sucked big hairy donkey balls.

    The Grey falls into the 'so bad, it's good' category though.

    lmao! I normally love him too and Taken was one of the best!

    Le Divorce - Kate Hudson and Naomi Watts really very bad.

    Dogville - Nicole Kidman who knew you could make a 3 hour long movie on a stage with chalk outlines on the floor for buildings

    Agreed - Horrible movies, but that's what I've come to expect from these act... er people.

    I don't actually recall any fantastic actors being in it but TED WAS LITERALLY THE WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED.

    The Men Who Stare At Goats - George Clooney

    I only finished watching it because --well - Clooney

    :noway: Men Who Stare At Goats was an excellent - if rather unusual - movie.

    I don't agree that this qualifies. Tim Robbins was a complete unknown when he made this. You can't fault an actor for taking work when he is trying to establish himself.

    Once they are an amazing actor, doing a movie like Mission to Mars or Green Lantern..... that is a different story.

    Ted? As in the one with Mark Wahlberg & Mila Kunis? That movie was hilarious!

    Mark Wahlberg - The Happening

    That movie was horrible, and I watched it because I love Zooey. Right along with Shark Boy and Lava Girl, but I don't think there were any good actors in that.

    Ishtar...it was so bad I've blocked all memory of this. I like Dustin Hoffman but I refuse to remember anything other than Warren Beatty on a sand dune. Horrid film...horrid memories...it makes other movies that are horrid look almost like Oscar winners.

    ok, reading through these posts, I've now seen mentioned -

    Men Who Stare at Goats
    The Big Lebowski
    Dragnet
    No Country For Old Men

    Obviously you people have no taste in films, or just a very narrow perspective of what makes a good movie.

    George Clooney, The American. I'm still mad about having to sit through that.

    Obviously you people have DIFFERNT taste in films, or just a very DIFFERENT perspective of what makes a good movie.

    This

    I fixed it for you. :wink:

    I love when people tell other people they have no taste. No. You have different taste. It is OK to like or not like these films. I think No Country For Old Men is one of the greatest movies ever. I also think Men Who Stare at Goats qualifies just below waterboarding as torture. Am I right? Yep. Nope. Maybe. These are my opinions. DIFFERENT than yours. This is not Nazi Germany, and this will not be over when they bomb Pearl Harbor.
