Danny Glover and Joe Pesci in a movie called "GONE FISHIN."

Had to have been the worst piece of shit ever filmed.

Stephen Lang as Thomas Jonathon Jackson in Gods And Generals. So over the top, it was almost like a characture or parody.

Hayden Christensen.

Starwars I, II, III

What a whiney faggot. His faggotry almost matches tops Luke's from IV.

Oh come on, Bill & Teds was great - his stoner acting was dead on... or was it because he was stoned all the time...?

The entire cast of subUrbia and mallrats. Terrible horrible movies. I want those hours of my life back.

Hey now...I was fine with most of that but you should NEVER speak badly of Mallrats, I mean really...that's fucking heresy!

I really think the worst I've ever seen was Travolta in Battlefield Earth. That is one of the few movies that I actually wanted to leave in. Luckily we were the only ones in the theater so me, my friend, and our dates just goofed around, talked, watched the girls do cartwheels in the front etc. for most of it.

That bald dude in mallrats was the suck. Jason lee, however, was great.

Oooh... I just thought of it...

Nicholas Cage and Eva Mendes in Ghost Rider!

Movie was the only one I have ever seriously considered walking out on. Granted... the actors/actresses never had much to work with considering the crappy script... but... it was... just... god awful.

Al Pacino in every role since he started screaming in Scent of a Woman.

I was going to go with the obvious Affleck, but I have a weird one. Meg Ryan and what's her name from Kindergarten Cop made Proof of Life suck, when there was absolutely no other reason for it to.

I agree,

I assume you meant John Malkovich.

And take it back anyway.

Besides being a Conservative, Mr. Malkovich is fine actor indeed.

No kidding. The "same" in every movie?

Go Youtube Teddy KGB in Rounders. He plays a Russian mob card shark.

Then watch the "Changeling" movie from this summer. He plays an evangelical who uses the pulpit to agitate against police abuses.

Then watch him as the "director" in Shadow of the Vampire.

Great actor.

Bill Shatner in "Star Trek The Motion Picture"..."Bones I NEED You!"

James T. Kirk: Bones, there's a thing out there.

Leonard McCoy: Why is any object we don't understand always called a thing?

James T. Kirk: Headed this way. I need you. Damn it, Bones, I need you. Badly!

The worst bit of overacting I've ever seen, so bad the theater audience laughed!

Honorable mention:

Mark Hamel in the first Star Wars was painful to watch, especially in contrast with Sir Alec Guinness and Peter Cushing.

Not too sure who is the top hollywood who anymore, but the entire cast of "Disaster Movie" was horrid. In fact, it was the worst movie I have ever watched. Pure garbage.
