when I was in high school one of the dudes I used to hang out with said talladega nights was his favorite movie because apparently he was really depressed and it was the only thing that made him happy
Love the list! Enjoyed the whole video. Common thread appears to be the dumbing down of society. Low brow humor and mailed in performances. Great list!!
Steven Segal should be much higher up on your list Guy! Keanu Reeves may have a limited range, but when he was John Wick and Neo I can not think of anyone better to play those parts. Segal should have never been a Big Screen actor, he sneaked into the action-film line-up during the late 1980's when Arnold, Sylvester, and JCVD films were the big box office hits.
An obvious one, but I can't watch any movies with Brie Larson. Terrible decision having her as Captain Marvel. Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow is great! I also liked him in Fantastic Beasts as Grindelwold before they removed him.
LOL! 18:34 I have to agree with you on Al Pacino being a part of Jack & Jill. Sadler must have paid him like a King to be in that film as himself, but it is so insulting to his fans.
I mostly agree with your picks and reasons for them, but may I suggest two movies with Johnny Depp? The Libertine, and the yet to be released Jeanne du Barry; the latter I am looking forward to watching.
For what little it's worth, Scream Queens did give us an easily meme-able instance of an entitled twit in a Starbucks line courtesy of Emma Roberts, so if you watch up to that point (which I did before drifting away immediately because there was nothing else there) you'll recoup a small amount of value...
Al Pacino was good in Scent of a Woman....loved his speech in the school!! Early Tom Cruise are better than him now...ones like Rain Man and A few Good Men. Julia Roberts was good in Steel Magnolias and August Osage County........I do agree with the rest of your list though....especially Megan Fox and Cameron Diaz, but I’d like to add Jennifer Anniston. I can only take so many closeups in movies and she gets twice as many as I can take.!!
The irritated feeling you feel with Owen Wilson is literally me watching the James Bond movies before 2002 and then watching any of them since, seeing Daniel "I will not make another Bond, oh you'll pay me millions for zero emotion? I'm in" Craig in the newest ones = me feeling sick to my stomach of how far the franchise fell
I agree with your list but i would have also added Jack Black because i only liked him in school of rock and Kung Fu Panda, and Matthew McConaghey for the same reason you dislike Owen Wilson
Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Kevin Hart, Jack Black. If I see those names in a trailer or on a poster I probably won't be watching it. Do you have any directors that would turn you away from a movie?
I don't think Owen Wilson at number 1 was a big shock but he's done some good movies with Wes Anderson like "The Royal Tenenbaums". John C Reilly is an amazing dramatic actor that's casted way too much for comedic parts these days. Thank Will Farrell for that. As for Gwenyth Paltrow, I think she's much better in smaller arthouse films. She can come off as privileged and pretentious but she did win an Oscar for best actress, back in 1999. She was great in "Hard Eight (Sydney)" with John C Reilly back in 1996.
It's so easy to tell there's something wrong with Tom Cruise. Right on the money, you were there. (Although, watching him is fascinating. I'm a fan. Though you could call my appreciation of him ironic.)
Tortured Entertainment Guy, I just saw this video. My girlfriend would agree with your top 2 whole heartedly! I personally would have had Tom Cruise Mapother at 2, and Adam Sandler at 1. I would never watch a movie with those dudes in it, ever.
Shakespeare In Love is a great movie and Paltrow is a big reason for that, a fact the Academy recognized. Also, you must have hated Magnolia. It had Cruise and Reilly, and both turned in fantastic performances. Cruise also was great in Interview With A Vampire and Eyes Wide Shut while I loved Reilly in Gangs of New York. I don't think I've ever disagreed more with one of your lists. Shame.
I know this will be a very unpopular opinion, but ANY movie involving ANY wrestler will be unwatchable. Hogan, Cena, Rock, Piper, etc...all of them TRASH!!!
The Entertainment Guy huh, I mean my taste for comedy movies isn't exactly above bottom of the barrel I guess because I liked get hard too.. What kind of comedies do you like?
actors or actress i can't stand: I refuse to watch any movies if they are in it 1: Steve Martin 2: Leslie Nielsen 3: Tom Cruise 4: Nicholas Cage 5: Megan Fox 6: keanu Reeves 7: Johnny Depp 8: Adam Sandler 9: Cameron DIaz 10: Owen Wilson 11: any Baldwin ( minus Alec ) 12: David Spade ( never thought he was funny ) 13: Brad Pitt ( minus Snatch, Fight club and Inglorious Basterds ) 14: Christian Bale 15 Russell Crowe 16 Jim Carey 17: Will Smith 18 Bruce Willis ( last movie i really enjoyed from him is Unbreakable, one of my all time favorite movie, since, he fucking sucks! ) 19: The Rock 20 Vin Diesel.
The problem is you’re basing a lot of it off of more recent films, which everyone knows Hollywood has only managed to do one thing consistently and that is create horrible movies. For the most part, your list is good because most of them have NEVER made a good film. The other’s, where you’re wrong is watching recent movies: Owen Wilson: Wedding Crashers and You, Me & Dupree will probably be his best works, so no need to watch anything else before or after those. Cameron Diaz: Her best work was Very Bad Things & There’s Something About Mary, those won’t be topped - especially in today’s world. Adam Sandler: Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy, Big Daddy, Mr. Deed’s, Blended are his best work, anything else isn’t worth watching. Billy Madison was alright. David Spade: Tommy Boy and Black Sheep were his best. Joe Dirt is his most recent movie that is watchable but not great. He was better on TV shows after Black Sheep & Tommy Boy. 8 Simple Rules (for example). Saturday Night Live has always sucked. Lindsay Lohan: Her only good movie was The Parent Trap. The rest of your list NEVER made a good movie between all of them, Will Smith should’ve been on the list as well as he’s never made anything good either.
Jennifer’s body is so good your doing yourself a great disservice by not watching it. You mentioned how you like cheesy earlier in the movie. If a cheesy horror sounds good to you then check it out.
