During the film awards season, we are always subjected to an endless stream of superlatives directed at actors, films and filmmakers. Everyone you hear about is "extraordinary," "amazing," "incredible," or a "genius." Actors "transcend." Directors are "visionary." Writers are "timeless." Each year those words mean less as they are attributed to this year's crop of less than great work. That's not to say that there aren't great films being made, but there certainly are not enough to fill all the ...

    Good list, but it's missing one: Keira Knightley in just about every film she's ever been in. How she became such a huge star is beyond me. It's just further proof that Hollywood goes on looks alone, and no substance or talent.

    Knightley has the emotional range of a clothes shop mannequin! I think R2-D2 can express emotion better than this sickly thin overrated hag, and he's a robot! None of Keira's roles or performances have impressed me. In every movie, she has the same frozen scowl on her face and is basically running around screaming or pouting with her mouth hanging open.

    I haven't liked her from the start when she unfairly and undeservedly got more publicity than Parminder Nagra for Bend it Like Beckham. Nagra was the better actress, and clearly, the wrong girl came out the star from that movie.

    How could you not have a single Keanu Reeves performance? He has sucked atrociously in everything except Bill and Ted.

    The one where he played The Buddha would be my pick for worst casting decision in the history of mankind.

    I don’t know which is worse, this list or the fact that you actually watch these films.
    When you see a Shit on the street do you intentionally step into it to feel how squishy or hard it is? Do you need to smell it over to know that it stinks?

    Same idea with these films. The people that produced them should all be put on your “People that deserve a beating” list.

    Nevermind Val Kilmer's mysterious loss of talent since The Doors. Someone should have re-directed Elizabeth's retarded laugh right off the casting couch. She plays a triple PhD in the flick, has a Yale degree in real life. Why couldn' t she stifle the dorky gaffaws? Maybe Val's performance was bad too, I can't remember because I was cringing every time she was in a scene.

    Rick Fox didn't even star in "He Got Game", your number 4 worst acting performance. The shitty acting was done by Ray Allen. I believe we should give credit were credit is due.

    Every single rapper that's ever been given any role,lead or supporting. Scowling,smoldering,pouting,sneering,being "street" and alleged charisma,and popularityfrom hit "songs" and albums (Totally undeserved) is anything but true acting.

Just writing his name makes me want to shove an ice pick through my head. I HATE him. I just fucking hate him. How are is films financed? I just don't understand. Someone please help me understand. I'm having a panic attack, and don't know if I can continue... I'm getting visuals of the pathetic ponytail thing going on. I need to be viciously beat for writing his name. Forgive me.

    Am I the only one who saw this wretched THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE movie? It starred an embaressed Peter Fonda (must have lost a bet!), a beeming, smiling, Alec Baldwin (I was embaressed for both of us!) and a long-past being cute Mara MRS DEOUBTFIRE Wilson.

    An oldie but still a goodie, can't believe Lisa Minnelli didn't make the list as Arthur's (Dudley Moore's) love interest. Are you fucking kidding me??? Who in their right mind would find this bitch attractive, even if your're drunk all the time?? In real life even her weirdo "husband" couldn't take her act and he is gay. Someone, somewhere owed her a bunch of money or a HUGE favor to hand her this lead role which she is absolutely horrible in.

    A performance that definitely should have made the list was Hulk Hogan in "No Holds Barred". I'm embarassed to say I actually suffered through this film in the theater. Also I want to correct the person that said Rick Fox didn't star in "He Got Game". Yes Ray Allen was the lead but Rick Fox starred as his host on a recruiting trip.

    Hello I swear Leoarndo De Crap eo was so bad in Titanic. he looked like he was 12, who cares that he could put on a tux, he still looked bad. and he thinks he is so eco-cool.
    I will never get those 3.5 hours of my life back. Good thing he is at the bottom of the ocean.

    Not to underplay the fact that this shit-and-rotting-melon sundae of a film was (and still is) the worst thing I ever payed to see in a theater, but Oldman's twitchy, over-the-top performance as some sort of Cajun weapons dealer is enough to make his characterization of Sid Vicious peel off the celluloid and beat the snot, shit, sweat, piss and every other excretion out of him. He's so in love with his ice-cream coating hairdo, GOOFY wardrobe, limp and all the other ephemera of the character, that he forgot to actually ACT.
    To borrow from Ebert's review of "North" , I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it.
    And Oldman just made me hate it more.

    Not to trash a classic coming of age movie BUT something needs to be said for the young kid who played the main role...he was horrible. STOP TOUCHING YOUR NOSE. The hardcore will know what I mean.

    never saw that flick - but i have to disagree with your stance that andre the giant's stint as an actor in the princess bride tarnished the silver screen. unless he is in another movie i am unaware of (high probability). he is hilarious in the PB.

    You forgot to mention "Out Cold" from 2001. Movie, in my opinion, is actully quite funny, and there are some excellent shots of Victoria Silvstedt.
    However, Caroline Dhavernas is a horrible actress. She plays a foreign love interest-and plays it horribly. throughout the movie her accent changes-its hilarious. She must have about 6 accents, nearly an accent for every scene whe is in. But what can you expect, shes canadian.

    His Irish accent sounds like the leprechaun on the Luck Charms Box.

    Kostner in: Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (a mulleted Robin of Locksley with a mid-west accent, and the peronality of a doorstop) Tin Cup (Don Johnson actually outshines his acting in this waste of celluloid), Dances with Wolves( I've seen cigar-store Indians put on less wooden performances), Wyatt Earp (him, and this 6 hour pile of boring get owned by the far superior [and shorter] Tombstone starring Kurt Russell. That's right. Out-acted by Kurt Russell) and his finest role ever, the dead body in The Big Chill. In which (exept for a shot where his hand is in frame for a moment), he is completely cut from the film. Good call by the director if you ask me. I'm not sure you could count on Kostner to emote enough to play a corpse convincingly.

    Dude, you completely blew this list. First of all, The World is Not Enough was the THIRD Brosnan Bond, not the second you duchebag. Second, Harrison Ford was in two Jack Ryan movies, not three (Clear and Present Danger, Patriot Games). Learn your shit before you try and be funny. Your laziness to check facts completely ruined what would have been an otherwise hilarious list.

    I kept on waiting for Katie Holmes' preformance, or lack there of, in Batman Begins. Needless to say I was dissapointed with that, but other than that one thing, near perfection.

    Okay, FIrst of all Dogma is one of the funniest movies of all time and chris rock helped a lot with that. Secondly, I totally agree with the Denise Richards thing in the Wrold is not Enough but it was the third Pierce Brosnan James Bond film (Goldeneye, Tommorow Never Dies, The World is not Enough, Die another Day). Third, What about Halle Berry in Catwoman good god that was terrible. And Shaq should be put in there for his stupid super-weapon movie Steel. And Arnold Schwarzenegger in Eraser was terrible. There's a part in there when he tries to be sincer while sitting at the fire place. Just imagining that should make someone vomit.

    You obviously haven't seen the movie "Cobra" The movie is the worst piece of shit ever to be landed on film. It's like watching an hour and a half of outtakes. He cracks some of the worst one-liners imaginable and wears sunglasses throughout the entire flick. Funniest movie ever made that wasn't supposed to be funny.
