Just like the Good Director, Bad Movie thread, only actors instead of ditectors. This one should be a lot more easier.

Robert DeNiro

Good: Taxi Driver, Heat, This Boys Life, The Deer Hunter etc. etc. etc.

Bad: Hide & Seek, 15 Minutes, Godsend - all were awful

Shaft
?

Jackson just gets in every film so some of them have to be good and some have to be bad by the laws of averages.

John Cleese - good: any monty python, a fish called wanda

bad: Die another day (wtf) Looney toons back in action (WTF)

yes she was, and no.. she's been in tons of shitty movies, including jawbreaker, which was the biggest failure in its genre.

Snatch is such a good film, the humour is so typically english too. There's not one bit that isn't entertaining.

Na man, I liked those movies pretty well man and I thought Bruce Almighty was pretty lame, nothing spectacular or ground-breaking and Andy Kaufman was awesome. (Plus R.E.M. did the main song for it)

not when I say it, cause I'm not racist, I just think it's a hilarious word and think it's stupid to even get offended by it.. it's not even that striking.. "fuck you" is more powerful imho.
