Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Tim Curry.
And before you tell me he was in some notoriously shit movies, no they weren't, Tim Curry was in those movies, so they're great movies.

Joe Cazale! Only five movies, but all five awarded nominees for Oscar Best Picture!
Gene Hackman had a pretty good run
All my life, I would always watch ANY movie that Gene Hackman was in. I never saw him give a bad performance.

THE Harold Zoid!
I'm not a huge fan of Tom Cruise and also never watched the MI franchise, but otherwise he knows how to pick good scripts... Last Samurai, Vanilla Sky, Tropic Thunder, Minority Report, Top Gun, Rain man, Edge of Tomorrow, The Firm. There are still a bunch I never saw so there may be some rotten tomatoes in the basket
Agree he had a very high hit rate, and personal life aside, I enjoy most of his movies.
But MI:2 and MI:3 are mediocre at best, and Knight and Day and Rock of Ages were massive flops (I haven't seen either, but i they look horrible). Cocktail earned him a razzie nomination.
Don't forget The Mummy remake, it was so bad they cancelled the Dark Universe because of it.
""Kurtzman called the experience “brutal” and described The Mummy as “probably the biggest failure” of his life.""

His Scientology bullshit creeps me out to the max, but i have to admit that i will watch any movie he makes, because they are always good, and sometimes great.
Do yourself a favor, and watch the MI series. They are nonsensical but really fun, with some of the best action sequences ever filmed, and he does the stunts himself. They also get better as the series comtinues.

Cory Chase
I haven’t seen more than 3 of his movies, but Heath Ledger seems to have been consistently great.
I was going to say Gary Oldman, but then I remembered that Tiptoes wasn't a fever dream.
michelle yeoh, she was the only part of STD that was watchable. she has her niche films though.

I was going to say "OJ Simpson", knowing he was in The Naked Gun. I figured he got the part because of his notority as a football player, and figured it was his only film.
Turns out he's been acting since at least the mid 70s. He's been in lile 15 movies. Which is kind of weird, knowing what he did later.
So, I guess I can't say O.J Simpson.....
He guest starred in an episode of a children's show "Adventures in Wonderland". The episode never aired because of the whole murder incident. So the episode was filmed so close to the time of the murder, it didn't make it to air. Did he know he was going to commit murder while he was acting in a children's show?
