But I didn't see any of the movies during the last few years before his death (e.g., Cool Runnings, Wagons East, Canadian Bacon).

July 10, 20223 yr Best- Laker series Worst- not sure, but still laughed- unless you count Gangs of NY. He still was good in that role. Edited July 10, 20223 yr by slorch

I really enjoyed his role in the Laker series but I know a lot of people hated the whole production because they made the organization a caricature of itself, especially his role.
July 10, 20223 yr Liked him in Boogie Nights, a few of his roles with Ferrell. Ackroyd was very good in Driving Miss Daisy. Ed Harris? Much like Duvall, another solid/great actor. Edited July 10, 20223 yr by Underdog

July 26, 20223 yr Tim Curry Best - Frank N. Furter in Rocky Horror Picture Show or Professor Snape in the Harry Potter movies Worst - Titanic, the 1996 non-James Cameron one, with George C. Scott Spoiler I know it was Tim Roth as Snape, just trying to trigger the HP fanboys Spoiler Okay Alan Rickman
July 26, 20223 yr Tim Roth - best - Ringo over Mr Orange worst - some bad guy in a Hulk movie. Very miscast altogether.
July 26, 20223 yr Author Val Kilmer Best - Real Genius, Tombstone Worst - Dr. Moreau BTW, did you know there was a Wyatt Earp's revenge? Anyone seen it?
July 27, 20223 yr Val Kilmer Best - Real Genius, Tombstone Worst - Dr. Moreau BTW, did you know there was a Wyatt Earp's revenge? Anyone seen it? I thought he did pretty good as Jim Morrison

July 27, 20223 yr I don't know that I've seen that one. I may need to rectify that. He's played so many great roles over the years. I still have a soft spot for Splash. And wasn't John Candy great?

But Stripes, Uncle Buck, Great Outdoors,Splash, etc are all hilarious and he's great in them. But he was the best in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Tom Hanks is great too but that movie where he's the boat captain wasn't so hot.

July 28, 20223 yr Dan Aykroyd: Best: Driving Miss Daisy (although I loved him in Spies Like Us "It's a dikfer") Worst: Caddyshack II
July 29, 20223 yr I definitely enjoyed AHX. It’s easily a better overall movie. I thought and still think he did an incredible job in Primal Fear.No love for Death to Smoochy?

Johnny LaRue, Grogan, Harry the Guy with a Snake on His Face, Dr Tongue, Gil Fisher, Pavarotti, the list is endless.

July 29, 20223 yr I don't know that he was bad in Reign of Fire, I just think it's another case of the movie being poorly received, and his performance suffered from that perception.

And some nice Laura Dern vignettes to boot. Also, use of the term "Epizootics" to describe any debilitating illness. See also @ 3:09 below: "Girl strikes like a cobra!"

July 30, 20223 yr George Clooney? Best Burn After Reading Worst Leatherheads I’d write some more but I’m coming down with a case of Lactose Reflux I prefer Out of Sight. Even J Lo is good in it.
July 30, 20223 yr Ditto on Out of Sight. Add Elmore Leonard characters and storyline to any pitch and pure alchemy is the product.
July 30, 20223 yr A couple of real actors: Steve Buscemi and William H. Macy. BUSCEMI Best: Fargo Worst: __________? Meh: __________? Cool turns: Sopranos; Boardwalk Empire; Con Air; Reservour Dogs Gems: Ghost World; the Ghost of Stalin MACY Fargo; Name? Mystery Men; The Cooler; State and Main; several I’m leaving out.
