Robert DeNiro was hillarious as Fearless Leader, Morgan Freeman was cool and his line was awesome. I never had any problems with Sean Connery when he played Alan Quatermain. And Cuba Gooding Jr. has some good roles as Pearl Harbor and Men Of Honor, and he was funny in Snow Dogs.I don’t understand by the people hates Daddy Day Camp, I watched a little bit and it was funny.

Sean Connery won an Oscar for The Untouchables? Really? Good grief, that’s… that’s just… scary. Was he supposed to be Irish in that movie? I remember having difficulty containing my laughter every time he opened his mouth. Still, it wasn’t as bad as Entrapment: for example, the scene on the platform towards the end, when he’s just run up the stairs and looks like he may drop dead any second. Horrendous.

But…but…Morgan Freeman’s line in Wanted was the best part of that movie!

Marlon Brando not only deserves to be on this list, he deserves to be number one. Considered one of the greatest actors of all time, the two time oscar winner was in The Island of Dr. Moreau!!

Ben Kingsley in BloodRayne is the first thing that came to mind, definitely.

I totally agree with Morgan Freeman, that line totally killed me, it was more of a Samuel L Jackson line than it was a Freeman line.

I can’t believe you left off Ben Kingsley in “Bloodrayne”. That movie was painful and Kingsley’s performance didn’t do anything to mitigate the pain (unlike Billy Zane’s — the only bright spot in that whole mess).

Besides the obvious missteps in this list (Freeman, Welles, and Walken is no weirder than anything else in The Country Bears), you neglected to explain why any of the actors are deserving of scorn, as opposed to the fact that you simply disliked the movies they took a part in. There’s also a major omission, and it’s not just Halle Berry in Perfect Stranger, Hilary Swank in The Black Dahlia, Rod Steiger in The Specialist, or Marlon Brando in The Island of Dr. Moreau, but the king of all terrible performances by a major Oscar winning star in a big budget film, Laurence Olivier as Gen. Douglas MacArthur in Inchon. Olivier is not helped by the atrocious makeup, but his acting is so over-the-top and hammy, with an accent out of a Monty Python sketch, that he should rightfully earn all 10 spots on your list.

Great post, Cuba Gooding Jr. definitely has taken the biggest leap off the deep end. I loved him with TOm Cruise but everything else was like watching a train wreck.
This post is now nominated for a BoB award where the top prize is 1000 bucks so good luck and don’t watching any Cuba movies
