I would go see any move, plot-unknown, if __________ was in it

Cafe Society
1

Jason Sudeikas
Jane Lynch
Ken Jeong

2

Formula One

3

Jennifer Lawrence.

4

Humphrey Bogart…I love zombie movies.

5

My sister. (That’s about the only way an actor/ess would get an automatic watch just by being present.)

6

Tom Hanks. He is good.

And Bogart. He was great.

7

Jeff Bridges.

8

Tim Curry.

9

Jame’s Bond
Denzel washington
Charlie Chaplin

10

Michael Keaton. He’s picky, not looking for validation, and not worried about what people will think, so any film he does is likely to be interesting.

11

Also Daniel Day-Lewis. But he is only doing one more film. :frowning:

12

So, we’re all in agreement, then? If Daniel Day-Lewis comes out of retirement to play an aging James Bond – with Jennifer Lawrence as the Bond girl, and Michael Keaton as the Bond villain – in a production featuring Tim Curry as M, and Denzel Washington as Q, and Tom Hanks as Felix Leiter, and Jeff Bridges as the eccentric genius who hasn’t yet realized that his holographic simulations of Bogie and Chaplin can be repurposed for in-real-life photoshopping of world leaders, then we’ll all buy tickets if Sudeikis and Jeong and Lynch are the bickering Formula-One-Is-Their-Cover-Identity henchmen who set the blackmail plot in motion by kidnapping Mr Shine’s sister?

13

Simon pegg and/Or Nick frost if, and only if directed by Edgar Wright.

14

I’m in! As long as there is no CGI!

15

Cary Grant? :frowning:

16

James Garner
Steve McQueen

17

Bette Davis.

18

Charlton Heston
Laurence Olivier
John Hurt

I can’t think of any actors for which this is true. That said, there are a few actors that have an excellent track record of both performing very well and being picky about choosing roles that are interesting and are in projects with other compelling talents. But I can’t think of any whose reputation in those regards is so good that I could make such a blanket statement. If Tilda Swindon is in Michael Bay’s Transformers 47 movie I’m still gonna pass. But her presence on the billing for anything else is still a positive factor.

Daniel Day Lewis might be the closest actor I can think of to this. There are some directors where I’m pretty close to making such a call (e.g. the Coen brothers or maybe a non-superhero Nolan movie), but even then I can’t make such an absolute statement.

I sense that you’re joking here, but I would watch the crap out of this movie.
