He’s made a grand total of three films (and I found Young Einstein to be exceptionally silly, but fun anyway). So, I suppose he technically qualifies, but he has a very small body of work, compared to most of the others being discussed.
FWIW, in all three of the films in which he starred, he was also the writer, director, and producer. So, if they were bad, he certainly only had himself to blame.
Also, Roxanne, Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid, Pennies From Heaven, The Three Amigos, The Man With Two Brains, Bowfinger, Grand Canyon, All Of Me and Little Shop Of Horrors.
I actually think Tommy Lee Jones is an excellent actor and has been in a lot of good films. Cobb was one of the first that came to my mind, but it is only a 65%/58%.
He was outstanding in Captain America: The First Avenger with a 805/75% rating.
Charlie Chaplin? Charlie Chaplin? Charlie Chaplin of The Gold Rush, Modern Times, City Lights, and The Great Dictator? Recipient of not one, but two honorary Academy Awards for " versatility and genius in acting, writing, directing, and producing The Circus" and “the incalculable effect he has had in making motion pictures the art form of this century”.
OK- this thread has officially transitioned into what in the NBA is called “garbage time”.
The Hitcher. Granted, Rutger Hauer did most of the heavy lifting, but Howell was good as the young driver tormented by Hauer’s psychopathic killer.
Disagree. She was very good in Shakespeare In Love and Sliding Doors. Furthermore, she’s one of the few American actors whose English accent is good enough to fool Brits. I mean yeah, all her Goop stuff is ridiculous woo, but she’s a competent-to-good actor.
ETA: Ninja’d by @DrDeth. I’d forgotten she won an Oscar for Shakespeare In Love.
My nominee: Katharine Heigl. She’s made some “okay” movies, like Knocked Up, but has she ever made a really good one?
