Best Cast, Worst Movie

[samjjones]

My nomination: 1941

[Yeti]

Oceans 11.

[Cancuk]

mars attacks

[Dave G.]

"Paint Your Wagon" - Clint Eastwood, Lee Marvin. Pretty kickass front guys there, but the storyline... well, was beyond stupid. Clint Eastwood singing? Come on dudes.

[MrWookie47]

Unbreakable.

Sin City

[BradleyT]

Be cool

[offTopic]

I see this movie is currently at 7.2/10 or thereabouts on imdb, but I didn't like it very much, so: The Negotiator.

Also, a loooong time ago, my sister was raving about how funny this movie was that she'd just seen, so a bunch of us went to see it. The move was I Love You To Death, and we emerged from the theater vowing to never listen to my sister about a movie again.

[steelcmg]

castaway!!!! Best person for the movie but i hate that dam movie

[swede123]

That's the one that came to mind for me as well.

Only saw it for the cast, figured even Stone couldn't eff up Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, Powers Boothe, Jennifer Lopez, Claire Danes, Joaquin Phoenix, Jon Voight, Billy Bob Thornton, Julie Hagerty and Liv Tyler.

The movies are both terrible and Tom Cruise is OK sometimes but he had good supporting actors that I like usually.

And I just went and checked and Magnolia didn't have as many big names as I thought it did...

Vanilla Sky:
Penelope Cruz
Cameron Diaz
Kurt Russell (kinda)

Magnolia:
Julianne Moore
William H. Macy

Uhh, wtf? First of all the movie is very entertaining. Second of all nobody in the cast is an incredible actor/actress (albeit big celebrities), I don't know what more you were expecting.

Woody Allen had two movies in the late 90s that had tons of names, but were very meh IMO. Let me think of more.

Other than Kurt Russell, who is usually underrated IMO, these are some lightweight names.

Con Air had a lot of people, I think. But I enjoy that movie. Perhaps Batman Forever?

EDIT: Casino. Not a horrible movie but not amazing.

I thought he meant the original one... if he was talking about the new one then I disagree with both of you. Great cast, good movie. Not only is it a great cast, the characters were all well cast.

[istewart]

You wouldn't be disagreeing with me. I think the cast is good too. But in the sense that it's not an acting spectacle, it's just a good movie.

[TheMainEvent]

Perhaps Batman Forever?

[/ QUOTE ]

Very good choice

Edit: I thought you meant Batman &amp; Robin which was a much worse film, and only a slightly worse cast.

[wayabvpar]

Ocean's Twelve was the first one to pop into my mind. All the same cast as the 'original', but none of the fun or interest.

Yeah in retrospect the casts weren't as good as I remembered them being at the time, when the movies occurred to me.

Movies still bad though.

I thought it was OK. Thought the bit with Mickey Rourke was the best, and the opener w/ Michael Madsen and Bruce Willis was the worst. Really liked Mickey Rourke in it.

Oh, don't forget the inclusion of Catherine Zeta Jones, Bruce Willis and Julia Roberts (playing herself in a 20-minute self-hornblowing scene).

All thate extra "star power" than Oceans 11, and about 28% as entertaining.

I know there are a lot of people here who seem to like this movie, but I found it absolutely vomit inducing. Slower than traffic out of New Orleans on Sunday, and the "shocker" ending where the villain reveals that his mission in his life is to get defeated by the hero? Yuck. Most retarded villain ever. Also, Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis aren't exactly small time actors.

Anyway, I haven't seen Sin City, so I can't comment on that. I'm tempted to change my vote for Gigli, though. I'm not sure if that movie's increased suckiness in the numerator makes up for JLo's lesser reputation in the denomiator.

I like Copland (this movie is just misunderstood - people expect some shoot-em-up and that's not the kind of movie it is), and Hero. Never saw Sleepers and Bonfire.

I don't understand the South Park thing, tho. How can you like the cast and not the movie? Isn't the cast the same as from the show? If you like the cast don't you like the show? If you like the show how do you not like the movie? Am I thinking about this waaaaaaaayyyy too much?

Well, it came out a while ago...I rented it on video when it was first out, we thought it was going to be great. Came on two videos, and we just couldn't bring ourselves to throw the second one in. We watched the first, ended up returning the film w/o watching the second, rented it again sometime later, and did the same thing.

Maybe I should give it another try.

Why does everything Michael Mann makes have to be so damn long, though?

Every character's an unlikeable idiot, Stone's camerawork is schizophrenic, and the plot is thinner than Claire Danes in the movie. The thing that really got me was the direction, tho. In a scene where Nolte and Penn are driving in a car and talking, Stone continually focuses on one of Nolte's hands. For no real reason, just because it's a shot no one else uses and he's dying to show people how clever he is. The whole movie plays like some retarted film school dork saying, "Hey, look at me!!!!"

But that's....just one man's opinion.

I'm sorry, that's really all I'm going to say. I've said more about Oliver Stone's flicks on this site in the last few days than he's said in them.

Just a "hah hah biatch, I'm the villian, TWIST!" So instead of what could have been an awesome scene, he walks out, and the subtitle says he calls the cops on him and they arrest him?

Worst. Movie. Ever.

Most. Played. Out. Response. Ever.

Anyhow... The Thin Red Line is excellent. Very different approach compared to Saving Private Ryan, but an excellent war movie nonetheless. (BTW, I loved most of SPR as well).

Also to the poster who dissed The Royal Tenenbaums... well, I don't know what to say. Wes Anderson is one of the most creative writer/directors going at the moment... and this may have been his best.

Sky Captain was great to look at but I was bored to tears once the novelty wore off.

The Island of Dr. Moreau (Kilmer, Brando) - wonderfully awful.

Oceans Twelve

Much of Robert Altman's stuff (Dr. T and the Women, Cookie's Fortune - vs. his good stuff like Gosford Park, Mash and Nashville)

Although most rate it highly, Mystic River was a big miss for me. Sean Penn's acting was way, WAY over the top - cringeworthy stuff.(He was much better in 21 Grams).

Questions like this are always tricky because taste in movies is so subjective. Sin City, Unbreakable, Life Aquatic, U-Turn, Magnolia, Vanilla Sky, Italian Job, Heat, The South Park Movie, J&amp;SBSB, The Score.

I enjoyed all of these to varying degrees.

Irregardlessly.
