Name a bad performance in a good film

It was too much to ask him to do a generally ‘English’ accent.
I also really like the guy but damn that was hilariously bad lol.

I feel like his wooden and awkward acting worked ok given his the stuffy nature of his character. Probably not intentional though.

I second that sentiment (fine job)

Really? I thought Harrison Ford gave one of the better performances in Star Wars, besides Alec Guinness and Peter Cushing.

For me it was Mark Hamill.

She's usually good but I agree. She was really miscast

Leo wasn't great either.

I haven't seen the film yet, but I thought she was odd casting to play Spielberg's *Jewish* mother.

I also don’t like Danny Nucci in Titanic

Now, these are picks I can get behind.

I ADORE Apocalypse Now. It's one of my ALL-TIME favourite films, and for my money, superior to Coppola's Godfather movies, and by the type we get to the whole Kurtz sequence with Brando, the film has already won its stripes as a confirmed classic (which is just as well, because the final fifteen minutes or so are a bit more a slog to get through, partly because of Brando's mumbling, self-indulgent performance). I think Brando's casting was perfect; I just think he works better as a mythical figure in a photo, in this case, than when we actually finally meet him.

And although I hadn't really thought of it much before, I think you're right about Nucci in Titanic. It's a great movie (albeit not the masterpiece that Apocalypse Now is, but nevertheless, a highly entertaining watch, and a piece of virtuoso filmmaking on James Cameron's part), but the performances are variable. I also really dislike Jason Barry as Leo's Irish friend, Tommy. In fact, I had to look him up to see if he's done anything else of any note (it appears not; although he is a Man United supporter, which probably explains the bad vibes he gives me), and I was surprised to find he is genuinely Irish, because I always assumed he was some dude from California trying *really hard* to seem like a bolshy Irish stereotype.

I read her as a high-backed midwestern farm girl. Proud, very high-minded & starchy, nobody's fool, wary, independent. A bit suspicious & protective of her family, community & self. There are people like that. It added a nice bit of tension in the drama, between the two of them.

Interesting choice, though. It was not your usual facile 'romantic' interaction. But these were two mature adults, both with pasts. It seemed to me, real.
