Actor or Actress.. List as many movies as you can and we can compare with other answers.

Someone was just telling me Sharon Stone when we were discussing the "Favorite Actor Who Was Never In A Great Movie" thread, and gave me this idea.

Sean Connery picked some pretty awful stuff to be in over the years.

Not exactly a great actor tho'.

Truly great actor. Near the end I think he was just trying to supplement his upcoming retirement. Which I might add he seems to be enjoying.

Nicholas Cage must be #1 in this category
Anthony Hopkins also comes to mind.

Beat me to it with Nick Cage.

Cage tries to act and is always worth watching.

All of his B and C movies are at least okay because he is in them.

I don't know why Hollywood doesn't give him the chance to be in a bigger film with more money.

Because he will blow it all up in no time and get into troubles and shit that would pose a risk to a big production.

Malcolm McDowell is in tons of bad movies, especially nowadays. He's a decent actor.

He desperately needs a new agent!

[–] BillHicksFan (10559) 5 years ago

Well, almost every movie nowadays is bad.

Michael Caine before he met Christopher Nolan.

He happily admits he took Jaws: The Revenge to pay for a house, and that he has never seen the movie. Other stinkers he's been in are The Swarm, Blame It on Rio, Ashanti and Beyond the Poseidon Adventure.

I thought I read somewhere that the house was for his mother.

Robert Deniro has done some bad one. But he seems to have a talent for resuscitating himself after picking a stinker.

Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts
Such potential back in the early 80s
