I’ve seen everything old Tom has been in and enjoyed them all, even the one with horses.
What about William Macey?

Cary Grant has been in some mediocre films, but no truly bad ones that I can think of.
Far too prolific to dodge that bullet. Jurrassic park 3, Psycho remake,
Ahhh, I’ve only seen the ones where he shined.
If your co-star is an orangutan, you are in a crappy movie.
Caligula - Which even the porn can’t save.
I was responding to a quote about Hanks, so I meant the Hanks one.
Good question, but no. I looked up the date for The Stranded. It aired in Nov 1991, and I moved in 1990 so wasn’t seeing that group of friends by the time that episode aired. Also I remember their saying that they’d gone to the film thinking it would be good because Meryl Streep was in it and couldn’t believe how bad it was.
So people were making fun of the dingo line before Elaine.

I guessed that may be the case, but the quote you gave included a reference to the Alec Guinness film Raise the Titanic, which did indeed suck. Guinness also made a film called The Card, which is tedious.
I’m someone who ranks Terry Kiser highly based on Weekend at Bernie’s, Weekend at Bernie’s II, and Friday the 13th Part VII
He was particularly great as Vic Hitler, the narcoleptic comic on Hill Street Blues.
Drew Barrymore? Maybe “The Wedding Singer” wasn’t the best movie ever made, and “Fifty First Dates” wasn’t the best either, but neither was what I’d call “bad.” They were entertaining and fun, which is what they were meant to be.[…]Yes she was in a couple of rom-coms with Adam Sandler, but she can act.
You missed Blended, which was crap.
My bad. Conflated him John Gielgud.
I think Helen Mirren deserves serious consideration.
The Arthur remake with Russel Brand was dire.

Well, if that’s her only lemon, I think she qualifies as “hardly ever”. LOL
Well, if that’s her only lemon
Others have mentioned Caligula, but no, those aren’t her only bad movies.Just of ones I’ve seen - White Nights was not good. Teaching Mrs. Tingle was not good. Raising Helen was formulaic pap, and The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu was a sad coda to Peter Sellers’ career.
I haven’t seen No Such Thing because it was panned, likewise Love Ranch. The Nutcracker and the 4 Realms was also a bomb I didn’t watch.
What about Gary Oldman? Maybe he’s only an example of an actor who always acts excellently even in bad movies (like the aforementioned Daniel Day-Lewis and Jack Lemmon), but though I don’t know all his films, the ones I’ve seen in him were all outstanding in some way.
OTOH, has she ever done a truly great one?
My friends and I were sitting around yesterday having a casual conversation about how the one thing all great actors have in common is that they have all starred in at least one classic piece of cinema. For my good friend Al Pacino it's obviously The...
The onion nails it again… And this was before the huge horror which was Mama Mia!
Actually no, it wasn’t. That was the year after…
Let’s not forget Mazes and Monsters. On second thought, let’s.
I can go into a Tom Cruise movie and be reasonably sure I’ll like it. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a “good movie” of course.

I can’t stand the guy, but Rain Man was pretty good.
