One of my favourite actors is Alan Rickman.

Worst - There are just so many! Diesel Van, for example or that other bloke who was in The Fast and the Furious with him.
 
Best Male - Kevin Spacey
Best Female - Kate Winslet

Worst Male - Keanu Reeves ( you would get splinters during a romance scene! )
Worst Female - Jennifer Lopez

Now I have a dilemma Nicholas Cage can sometimes be fantastic but other times he just makes me wonder how he got on screen at all!
 
Oh my God where does a girl start. Without thinking too hard about it and going back generations some of my best actors would be:
De Nero
Pacino
Brando
Connery
Douglas (in movies like The Game)
Jodie Foster is one of the few women I think is truly a great actress no one has been able to have that on screen chemistry with Hanibel/ Hopkins since.
Over Rated / Awful include
Tom Hanks not a bad actor as such but he is always playing either the same type of character or he plays it the same way as the last one.
De Caprio, hate him so much
Entire FrienRAB cast.
Tom Cruise for the same reasons as Tom Hanks
Carey (except for the Eternal Sunshine movie, quite good there)
Val Kilmer
Julia Roberts, one question why was she ever the top paid actress in Hollywood? Not worth it at all.
Kevin Costner
Then you can go from the subline to the totally insane and usual suspects of Van Damme, Stallone, Arnie etc etc.
 
Worst acotr has to be......Sorry to say this and i know i am her biggest fan but it has to be Madonna!

She is the queen of pop and has contirbuted alot to modern day society.............But when it comes down to acting.....Please stop madge ..........PLEASE:eek:

Though Evita was fantastic lol.......but she was singing all the way through it lol
 
Arnie has been in some pretty good films, notably Terminator and T2.

Stallone was in Copland which is outstanding.

I have to agree with you about Jean Claude van Damme though. Everything he's been in is total bobbins.
 
You've missed the entire joke. Starship Troopers is basically a piss take. Not all entertaining films have to be "good/well made films"

Starship Troopers never takes itself seriously. The worse films are the cheesy ones that try to be serious. Note: all Steven Seagal films!
 
Sorry haven't been here for a while:o

Just saw your list though Kevo and while i agree with most of your selection, i have to disagree on Brando.

Whilst i conceed that in recent years his over inflated ego has ruined his reputation, you cannot take away his performance in "On The Waterfront" one of the most powerful films ever made.
 
I dont understand why so many people have put Adam Sandler as the worst! He's great! Not the best but still GREAT!
The best..
CHRISTIAN SLATER (i just love him so much, hes brilliant)
River Phoenix (was so good and came to an untimely end.. :( waste of a great actor that could have been one of the 'greats'..
James Dean - do i need to say any more?
Corey Haim - WAS on of the best young actors ever..
Corey Feldman - Almost as good as Haim..
Kiefer Sutherland - Great in the 80s and even better now!
John Cusack - Brilliant actor.. with a great range of acting abilitys..
Johnny Depp - One of the best, a bit too over exposed though..
Christopher Walken - So cool! and such a brilliant actor!
Ed Norton - American History X? Wow! Fight Club? Hell Yeah!
Brittany Murphy - can play a range of characters! very talented.
Winona Ryder - great actress, good range and good movie choices! (and so belongs with Johnny Depp!)
Patricia Arquette - funny, cool.. dramatic. she is really good!

Worst Actors:
Vin Diesel! i cannot stand him! i think hes terrible! i cant even see why some people WOULD like him!
 
I am shocked :eek: that Juliette Lewis has not yet been mentioned as one of the worst actresses EVER !! Every character she plays is exactly the same. A dumb b*tch !!

Best

Al Pacino (numero uno)
Robert De Niro
Gabriel Byrne
Sean Connery (althouth not so good with the accents)
Robert Carlyle
Christopher Walken

Worst

Juliette Lewis
Nicholas Cage (can't stand him - ever seen Wild at Heart??)
All the macho guys (swartzenegger, Stallone, Seagal)
Russell Crowe (very overated)
The majority of the young Harry Potter cast

These are the ones I can think of for now !
 
Gabriel Byrne

is so cool.. though i've only seen him in Stigmata (which is one of my fav movies ever!) and Ghost Ship which was a terribly done film that COULD have been good
