I'm wondering when he's going to get a decent role in a decent movie. I know he's talented, but his film career to date doesn't reflect that.

It's not a movie, but he's doing outstanding in "The Good Wife." Maybe that'll help his film career?

Given the way he acts in interviews, I think he chooses things he thinks would be fun, good or not.

Okay. So his role in "Get Carter" was fun?
His most high-profile roles to date: GoldenEye and X2.
I'll also mention some known movies he's been in: Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, Spice World, Josie and the Pussycats, Son of the Mask, and The Smurfs.
And 3 respectable movies he was hardly in or no one saw: Eyes Wide Shut, Titus, and The Tempest.
So, I'll have to disagree with you on this.
"Careful, man, there's a beverage here!" - The Dude
Disagree, I don't care. And by fun I mean fun to do. He could have enjoyed the people or challenge he dealt with in the roles. Not fun like an amusement park.
Man actors find it fun to be something out of their comfort zone.
As to most high-profile, that is a matter of opinion. If you're talking biggest for the average public, sure, but he may not care about that. And I would say Cabaret was pretty high profile for Broadway fans, which is a big Broadway actor. Some people only do indy films, because that is what they like. Maybe Alan just likes making a living off doing whatever roles he wants

In your last response you think you're contradicting or correcting me on several points, but in reality you've done none of that, since that's not what I meant.
By high-profile I meant most popular in terms of how many people saw the movie. It is not a matter of opinion.
And yes, I understand he's well known on Broadway, but where did I mention plays? This is the Internet MOVIE Database, not play database.
And for fun, how much of a stretch was it for him to play a weak-spined dot-com millionaire brat in Get Carter? Yeah, "challenging." The Smurfs -- "challenging." Romy and Michele -- "challenging." Come on.
Let's just call this one for what it is. Either he made crappy choices, or (more likely) nobody wants him for their good movies.

Smurfs-fun, Romy and Michelle- fun, weak spined for a strong willed man, challenging.
And high profile IS a matter of opinion. Box office isn't, but the term high profile can mean a lot more than box office Defined: A position attracting much attention or publicity. Which can be crap, thoughtful, vile or good, does not mean box office smash. When all you said was "high-profile" I certainly could say it's an opinion.
I brought up plays because things that are not box office hits are still VERY popular with certain crowds, and that may be the only crowd he cares about.
We have no idea what it is. Are you his friend? His agent? Then you are blowing smoke out your ass.

You are a Grade-A idiot. A typical idiot simply doesnt know WTF he's talking about. But you go beyond that, you will refute facts, reason, logic, common sense, normalcy, and everything else if they go against your point, which may or may not even believe in. You can't acknowledge or admit you're wrong, even when faced by stacks of evidence, like a bratty stubborn child. You are the perfect "useful idiot."

Look in a mirror, bub. I have only given a second option to everything nasty you have had to say about a man I am pretty sure you have never met. Nor have I, which is why I suggest you have no idea what you are talking about because I don't know anything I said for sure. Do you just like to feel like a big man/woman by bashing celebs on-line then calling anyone who disagrees with you an idiot. Because I never resorted to that.
All your supposed "facts" and "evidence" are just opinions, like my own.
