I loved Brando as Jor El. The Wild One is extraordinarily dated, but worth seeing.
Greatest actor ever, but... coulda hadda better career. His highs were higher than anyone's (Streetcar, On the Waterfront, Godfather, Last Tango, Apocalypse, Julius Caesar), but the lows were pretty bad.
Edit:
OH! Orson Welles in Transformers. Yikes. Actually, it has a 7.1 rating on IMDB.

These two did a made-for-tv movie
Probably the only mistake she ever made

One of my favorite actresses has me stumped. Was she ever in a bad movie?
Maybe
As I recall "Stromboli" was panned pretty roughly too.
But let's face it - Bergman at her worst was better than many at their best. And to her credit, it was the movies that were panned, not her performance in them.
She'll always be Elsa or Joan of Arc to me.

i was reminded of this on the radio today.......
My favorite Ingrid roles are Under Capricorn and The Inn of the Sixth Happiness. She's so gritty in them--I could almost smell her in Under Capricorn, but that's Hitchcock. Puts her right up there with Bette Davis, who IMHO is the best actor ever, even if I'm not a fan of hers. Ingrid's #2.
Already panned James Stewart, Olivia de Havilland, and several other favorites. Gene Hackman is too easy (Superman's already been mentioned.) But Cary Grant also stumps me.
Ray was on a roll there. Frogs!

Yes, as American Reporter Steve Martin.
In both the original

And in the 1984 remake

Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine are BOTH still alive! There's still time to get them in a Transformers movie!
Paul Newman in The Silver Chalice. His first big film. He took out an ad in the paper to apologize for it. Recovered pretty nicely, I think.

This dreadful movie also had a distinguished English actor--someone who's been in a ton of bad movies, has only ever won a BAFTA TV Award, spent time as a POW in a Nazi prison camp, and also portrayed a prisoner in one of the greatest WWII movies. IMHO, he's among the most underrated star actors of all time.
Please, NO! They both did some horror at the end of their movie career, but those were actually very good movies. Let them retain their grace and dignity.
