Clooney was in the American so definitely not. Tom Hardy was in some gay film about two spies dating the same girl. Clive Owen was in Killer Elite.

Christian Bale is a shout, although was in shaft, what do we think of that?

My vote goes to Robert Redford

Edit: scratch that, the horse whisperer.

Quantum of Solace?

Hardly a fair one as the scriptwriters were on strike during filming so they made bits of it up as they went along.

Steve McQueen Mr Cool surely hasn’t been in any duffers has he?

John Cazale:

Godfather 1 & 2, The Conversation, The Deerhunter & Dog Day Afternoon.

Not a bad CV really.
And that was it. 🙂

Good case for James Dean too.

Hmm, checking Johnny’s IMDB, his – shit: quality ratio is overloaded in the shit dept. Apologies

Apology accepted. 🙂

The prosecution moves to strike Gary Oldman based upon “The Fifth Element”

That’s a quality film. 😕

No way.

Looks like Rusty Spanner has it with John Cazale. Can’t argue with the quality of his movies.

great film and Gary is superb in it.

Will Smith

Oh, forgot Peter Sellers too.

After Earth rules Will Smith out.

Gary Oldman’s a good one. The ratio is mostly quality, however: Sid & Nancy, Lost in Space, Harry Potter… I suspect he was actually good in those bad films though.

Audrey Tautou

and Wild Wild West and I am Legend.

Anyone said James Caan?

Sorry Dez – Micky Blue Eyes. 🙁

James Caan? Not for Mickey Blue Eyes amongst others.

Edit: Or even worse That’s My Boy.

If you mean ‘Being There’, it’s a great film. 🙂

Did you read the OP?
Yeah, but 3 pages ago! 😀

Clive Owen
You can’t count him because he can’t act!

Paddy Considine.

Soon to be in ‘Child 44’ – can’t wait.

Romeo and Juliet might have been a crap film but it was a good music video (and besides, most of the problems it had came from the source material, the only way to make a good romeo and juliet is to throw it all away and make west side story)

Denzel Washington…. Fact.

Di Caprio has done the very hard thing of having a baby face & being a teen pin up but actually breaking away from those sort of films.

Just thought of Joseph Gordon-Levitt – but I’m sure someone will correct me!
EDIT – just checked IMDB – GI Joe – rise of cobra, but on the bright side I don’t remember who else was in it…

Spencer Tracey – had a few good’ns

If you mean ‘Being There’, it’s a great film.

Absolutely and I believe it was the film Sellers was most proud of.

Mark Strong

Up until the end of 2013 I would have said Saoirse Ronan however I did have the great misfortune to see the Host yesterday which was utter sh!te.

Bruce Dern

Humphrey Bogart

Ingrid Bergman

Gary Oldman : don’t diss the Fifth Elelment…bonkers French SciFi 🙂

Judi Dench ( er…..damn! just rememberd the Chronicles of Riddick…)

Javier Bardem

Bill Murray.

Judi Dench ( er…..damn! just rememberd the Chronicles of Riddick…)

and a truckload of awful Bond films.

Can’t think of a bad Woody Harrelson film…

David Prowse – Darth Vadar and the Green Cross Code Man
Whats not to like in his only 2 roles?

John mills

Ooh!

Ooh!

Dustin Hoffman!

THREAD CLOSED.

A friend of mine was bequeathed his Rolls-Royce when he died. Now kept in a garage with a de-humidifier, to stop it rusting: not the best period for Rollers, apparently. Nice car, though.

Woody Harrelson

He was in 2012….

I reckon Arnie’s good to bad film ratio is far better than say Pacino or De Niro. Also Bill Paxton has a half decent ratio also.
