Kevins golden years.....1987-1992


In these years he starred in these box office hits..

The untouchables
Bull Durham
Field of dreams
Dances with wolves
Robin hood prince of thieves
JFK
The Bodyguard


But ever since A perfect world hit the cinemas in 93, his career has gone downhill in terms of box office. The quality has varied...but even he admits that he will never regain the glory he once had.

I agree. The media and critics were brutal to him. I like the guy. He's made some terrific movies

reply

He made some bad choices and got a bit full of himself after 92. But he's had somewhat of a comeback of late

reply

I think his golden years lasted longer. 87-96

!993 Perfect World was well liked
1994 The War did well and Wyatt Earp had the bad luck of coming out only months after Tombstone
1995 Water World was one of the highest grossing movies of 1995 but went way over budget
1996 Tincup was popular

1997 The Postman bombed and a few things hurt his career as a leading A lister

A lot of new blood was coming into Hollywood, Fighting with directors hurt him and he seemed to not work as much. He doesn't have the same star power but the 00s/10s he's still made some good stuff

He was big in the early 1990s, next to Schwarzenegger.

No Way Out and Silverado.
