Films you've only watched/would watch for the actors alone.

Why do you think most actors get the parts? Because they're good actors??? WISE UP! It's because people DO watch films because their fav actor is in it.
 
I don't know why, but I would prefer to watch him in a film than look at pictures of him. I guess it's because I genuinely enjoy films, and him being in them would be a bonus.
And he played a nasty character in Desperado, so I don't really care whether he's a heroic character or not.
 
Another vote for pretty much anything with Al Pacino in it. I don't think I would be so shallow as just to watch something because I fancy an actor in it, I just find him absolutely fascinating to watch.

Although I do also happen to fancy him.
 
I do think you have a point. If an actor I think is a good talent is acting in a film, then it's more likely that I'll end up watching it. It's not that I fancy the actor or such, it's just that I have enjoyed the acting by the actor in the past, so that even if they're in some mediocre film, they're likely to still add to it in their own way and give me an added interest.

Still, yeah, if you just watch a film simply due to fancying an actor, then that's pretty shallow on its own. However, to watch a film because an actor whose acting you've respected in the past is in it, then that's a different reason in my book.

Anything with Edward Norton, Al Pacino, Cary Grant, Helena Bonham Carter, Cate Blanchett, Lauren Bacall, Katherine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, Susan Sarandon, Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi and a few others will pique my interest in the film.
 
I tend to watch Sandra Bullock movies a lot cos I really like her and think her characters are fun but she can play dramatic too. Though I havent seen the Blind Side or the Razzie one yet. So far the only two I havent liked are Miss Congeniality 2 and Speed 2. Both ruined the first films for me.

I also watch Nightmare On Elm Street to see Johnny Depp younger. Also My Bloody Valentine 3d I watched mainly cos it was Jack from Dawsons and Dean from Supernatural. But I ended up really liking the film
 
me too, also John Cusack


on the flip side there are films I will avoid due to it having a certain actor/actress in it. keira knightly, angelina jolie and jude law.

(but if it looks like a really good film then i will cave)
