Bad Actors

So how do you judge: Fell in love with Nicol Kidman in Cold Harbor and then she turned into a fat zero.

(What'a you think, is it the script, the supporting cast, t
Just like baseball: good pitching beats good hitting--good writing beats bad actors)

Suggest you take a look at Ernest Borgnine in the 1955 film "Marty" for which he won "best actor".
Also, he was great in the films Emperor of the North, Flight of the Phoenix and The Wild Bunch.
An actor can only be as good as the roles he is given and the dialog that he is given.

For those who voted against John Wayne, I suggest you watch, "The Shootest" (the last film he made) and also "True Grit". hard to imagine anyone doing a better job in true Grit
 
My vote for the worst actor of all time is Sharon Stone. Her role in "The Quick and the Dead" is beyond ridiculous. A female gun fighter who stands face to face in the old west streets and out draws the men.
give me a freakin' break.

yes they were, but he had thirty years of clunkers behind him; we were just so grateful that we declared him a saint in these two movies.

The Shootist was one of his best - granted, but Jeff Bridges' 'Rooster Cogburn' was at least equal to or much better. Probably because it was a Coen brothers' production.

That is definitely true. One example is Sylvster Stalone who's acting I despise, but he does play a jerk or a nerd very well such as in "Rocky I" and "Cop Land". Another example is Jean-Claude van Damm who plays twin brothers very well in "Double Impact". Still another example is Robin Williams who played the main character in "A Russian in New York". None of those actors is very good, but in those roles ..... ! (y)(y)(y)

When I was young I was forced to see John Wayne films because I didn't know the difference between a good film and a bad one ... and everyone said he was so heroic. As an adult, I avoided his films like the plague. The only time I paid to see one of his films was "The Cowboys" because I knew he got killed in it. Watching him bite the dust was worth the price of the ticket to see it. Needless to say, that's only my opinion.

Over two hours of constant bitching at each other
It may have had great acting and an excellent script,
but if i want bitching, all i have to do is have a few beers
and go home.

If your young and wish to marry-watch this film :cautious:
 
You want actors
You want sincerity
You want to grit your teeth:
Watch the phony, emotional pleas of the former actors and former human beings hawking Medicare Supplements.
Some might have been decent before they sold their souls.
