How about Bonfire of the Vanities?
Blame it on director Sam Raimi and all those zooms to the clock. Nonetheless, I rather enjoyed it.Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe, Leonardo DeCapprio, Sharon Stone, Lance Henrickson, Gary Sinise, Pat Hingle in The Quick & The Dead. How can that many well known actors make such a bad movie?
Nicolas Cage is an example of a great actor who ruined his career by playing in bad movies.
A great actor with a LOUSY accountant who ruined his finances, forcing him to make bad movies.
Some good actors make a ton of bad movies and are able to continue to get good parts. Look at Michael Caine!Maybe the accountant is to blame--he is apparently suing his manager, too--but I do not think the accountant told him to buy a dinosaur skeleton for $150 million or whatever it was or to buy something like 30-50 cars or to get arrested for disturbing the peace and whatever other self-destructive things he has chosen to do! I think he is a great actor myself, but I think he has some personal issues. Lots of good actors seem to make bad movies, and it does seem like it is often in order to generate some quick money. But it does seem mighty myopic to me. There were probably times when I would have considered seeing a movie just because Cage was in it. Now his being it a movie is a red flag to me that the movie may be terrible!
He is a high school drop out. That might not have helped! He comes from a very successful family. Seems like they could have pointed him toward good accountants and lawyers, if that was the problem!
Good example. Also no great scandals associated with him. Working class background, yet he has managed his money well, as far as I can tell.Some good actors make a ton of bad movies and are able to continue to get good parts. Look at Michael Caine!
Jon Voight in Anaconda. Made JLo look good.
Yeah, necrothread....I remember reading about when someone asked Michael Caine about that bad Jaws movie he was in. He said something along the lines of..."Yes, I hear it's bad and I've never actually seen it, but I have seen the beautiful house that it bought my mother."Some good actors make a ton of bad movies and are able to continue to get good parts.

I did watch it, not the worst movie I've ever seen, but enough creepiness to what should have been cuteness.Anyone around here seen "Cats"?
Yeah, me neither, but I hear it had an all-star cast.
