Casino - As a big fan of all things mafia I love this film. But I almost want to look away every time Sharron Stone is on the screen. It’s probably a credit to her acting skills that she was able to slightly repulse me.
Same goes for Helena Bohnam-Carter in Fight Club.
Strange because I don’t really dislike her (I do dislike Sharron Stone though)
I only saw **Braveheart **for the first time a couple of years ago because I absolutely cannot stand Mel Gibson.
It actually kind of pisses me off that it was such a good movie. I hate that he created something that I enjoyed. Fucker.
I hate that I liked the Mad Max movies… Because at the time I didn’t know I despised Mel Gibson.
Fucker.
Owen Wilson and Nicholas Cage irritate me to an irrational extreme. Especially the latter. I watched Adaptation because my best friend kept bugging me about it, and at the end I was told her very grudgingly that it was a good movie but that I still hated Cage. Too bad, because the movie itself I thought was great. I really can’t explain the reason for my depth of disdain for that man, but there it is.
Agreed. I hated Sharon Stone, I mean I can’t stand her, never could, in any movie.
But then again, what a superb casting and what an excellent performance by her. Really, she should have an Oscar for it. I don’t wanna see her in any movie ever–before or after Casino–but one must reluctantly admit that Sharon Stone in *Casino *is as good as it gets in Hollywood.
Kirsten Dunst.
Kirsten Dunst.
Kirsten Dunst.
Kirsten Dunst.
That is all.
Oh, that’s right – Woopie Goldberg.
Sean Penn has been in several movies that I wanted to see. My dislike of him overruled my desire to see those movies.
I’m looking forward to future technology where I can replace his face with someone else’s.
Joey Lauren Adams. I couldn’t bring myself to watch Chasing Amy because her voice in the previews alone drove me up a wall. I know it’s irrational and I’m sure she’s a great actress, but I loathe her voice.
Chris Tucker. The Fifth Element. I wish Besson would release a “Tucker-free” version of the movie. Then at least I could watch it again.
I’m with you on Sharon Stone. I’ve never seen what everyone else seemed to. She wasn’t a diva (not in the positive sense, anyway), and she wasn’t even that attractive. Helen Mirren could read her grocery list and be more attractive and sultry than Sharon Stone on her best day. Then again, I guess I’m not into the whole “ice princess” thing, so maybe I was just prejudiced.
For me, it’s always been Tom Hanks. He’s been in some good movies, but the man himself is just too vanilla and everyman for me. I just can’t help thinking that for Tom, it was either blockbuster films or manager of the tools section in Walmart.
I felt the same way about him, until I saw “I Am Sam,” and an interview with him on one of those news magazine shows where he actually came across as a thoughtful human. I was shocked. I still don’t like him, but I loathe him less now.
I won’t watch the old Tom Cruise movies that I used to like, because I can’t stop thinking about what a nutjob he is. Even “The Outsiders” is ruined for me, and I loved that movie as a teen.
I can barely watch movies that include:
Debra Winger
Scott Glenn
Stewart Granger
Eleanor Parker
Robin Williams
Matt Damon
Ryan Reynolds
Tom Hanks
There’s an actor whose name I can’t remember, as well as the movies he’s been in, but I do remember him playing a cop who kept a 20-something girl locked up in his basement. If anyone can name the movie and actor, I’ll be grateful for knowing what name to avoid in the credits. I can’t really describe exactly what it is about his acting that bugs me, but I’m sure many here know exactly what I’m talking about.

Not that he’s ever done a good movie, AFAIK, but I cannot stand David Johansen. I’d rather have my nutsack nailed to a roadbed made up of broken glass and rusty razor blades and then ran over by a steamroller than to watch anything with him in it. That he continues to exist on this world is evidence that the universe is controlled by a malevolent force so awful as to give HP Lovecraft nightmares.
After some digging around, I think the actor to whom I was refering is Dennis Hopper, and the movie would be The Keeper. (2004)
And after a little bit more reading of his filmography, it IS him, the guy whose acting I also couldn’t stand in Speed, as the ‘bad guy’ Howard Payne.

(Where’s the hanging smiley when you need it?)
I have to avoid, for the most part, Shirley Maclaine, Meryl Streep and Leonardo DiCaprio. I’ve really disliked Streep for sometime, maybe since Out of Africa. Ironically, I actually kind of liked Marvin’s Room despite it starring two of the above. DiCaprio was good in that. Streep was, as almost always, guilty of overacting. I cannot ever take suspend disbelief with her that she is playing a part. She’s always acting.
I don’t know if this counts, but I can’t stand Hugh Grant. I’ve haven’t seen a movie he was in since Four Weddings and a Funeral, and I thought that sucked.
Kevin Klein. First movie I saw him in was “Sophie’s Choice,” where he played a whackjob. Then another jerk in “A Fish Called Wanda.” No thanks. Can’t believe he’s married to Phoebe Cates…rat bastard!
Ditto here, saoirse. He’s box office poison to me. As a Brit I know I’m supposed to swoon all over the place at the very mention of his name, but I’ve never understood the appeal.
