​@@adamcole4623 That's because he got better - his performances in those older movies were still shocking.

Can't believe Stanley Tucci isn't on this list. He's been in some right shockers but is always a delight! If he's in it, I'll watch it.

Bad acting in a great movie? Keanu Reeves as Jonathan Harker in Francis Ford Coppola's brilliant interpretation of 'Dracula'.

Possibly the worst acting I've ever seen. It was like watching a spoon.

Ian McDairmid is mostly consistently good in the awful Star Wars prequels. Yes, he's chewing the scenery, yes...he's basically camping it up as a Hammer Horror villain and yes his "Power...UNLIMITED POWAH!!!!" scene is just painful, but he's very watchable and delivers a better performance than any of the rest of the cast.

I personally have only sat through the original trilogy, which I absolutely hated. But Ian McDairmid’s few precious moments onscreen in episode six almost made the whole thing worthwhile.

And the story behind him taking that role brings a tear to even this cruel bastard. I can't watch that without remembering it's his goodbye performance to his children. The only Gomez Adams there will ever be for me.

Watch Leaving Las Vegas and tell me Cage is a bad actor.

Really agree with Dr.Kermode on Godfather III.

Agreed. Tarantino in Django Unchained. Horrible performance! Loved the film.

I would love a list of Kermode's favorite commentary tracks.

Keanu Reeves in Dangerous Liaisons (or anything for that matter).

I Like "The Godfather, Part III" As Well. Underrated.

Pete Postlethwaite is an amazing actor.

Warwick Davis in Leprechaun 4: In Space... come on... :)

Worst performance in a good movie, Keanu Reeves in Kenneth Branagh's "Much Ado About Nothing."

I've watched Alien: Covenant more times than I should just for Fassbenders performance.

He's another who's lost most of the decade to movies and franchises which don't deserve him.

Worst performances in great movies: Keanu Reeves in both Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Point Break. Love Keanu...but he is beyond awful in both of those films.

"Wimbeldon" with Bettany is a quite good film for it's genre. The best actor in bad films is Peter Cushing, who always gave it all in serious interpretations in silly films, like all the weird dracula films, many starring cristopher lee

Brad Dourif has been in A LOT of crappy films and yet unfailingly gives great performances.

Best performance in a bad movie; Mark Strong in Revolver Worst performance in a good movie; Mark Hamill in A new hope and Diane Keaton in Godfather 1......Although they both redeem themselves in the following movies.

Julian Sands probably deserves a lifetime achievement award for good acting in bad movies. It's practically all he does. I can't agree with the Tron sequel, by the way - I enjoyed it a lot.

You mean bad acting in good movies?

Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's if someones not already mentioned it.

2:18 I never realised it before but Paul Bettany looks a hell of a lot like Robert Webb. There's a comedy sketch in there somewhere. Perhaps an episode of Peep Show involving a long lost brother or twin?

I don't think Love Actually is a bad movie at all, I love it and have seen it more than once. Troy is far from terrible either, liked it a lot more the 2nd time I saw it!

@DarkProf1 Couldn't agree more. 'The Matrix' and 'Much Ado about Nothing' represent the ultimate polar opposites of casting decisions. What was Kenneth Branagh thinking giving Keanu Reeves a role requiring acting?

3.41-3.46 Maybe it's because he co-wrote the script.

Breaking The Waves is incredible.

Sean Connery's cameo in Highlander 2, best performance in a rubbish film.

There are far far too many bad performances in so many great films but one that comes screaming to the fore for me is Andie MacDowell's excruciating performance in Robert Altman's Shortcuts. Anyone remember her confrontation with Lyle Lovett's chef? "You, you....basturrd" I always have to fast forward through that bit. How on Earth did she get that part?

Although I loved Ryan O'Neal's understated performance in Walter Hill's "The Driver", I thought he was bland & hopelessly miscast in "Barry Lyndon", my favourite Stanley Kubrick film. I'm genuinely shocked Malcolm McDowell wasn't cast as the lead. Sure he's best known for shocking roles in films like "A Clockwork Orange" and "Caligula, but watch McDowell's comparatively reserved performance as HG Wells in Nicholas Meyer's "Time After Time" for a hint of what might have been.

Gary Oldman is amazing in every film. Even in the Robocop remake he was amazing

Mike Myers in Inglorious Basterds - almost turned the film into a farce.

@TankMacnamara81 Hold the bus a minute!! While I agree with nearly all your choices there I have to ask if you're taking the piss with the inclusion of Margot Kidder as one of the worst? She was fuckin deadly as Lois Lane and I doubt any other actress will ever bring the ballsyness to that character again.

Matthew “Mahogany”

I love tron legacy, yet I find Michael sheen totally over the top, is it a great movie? No, is it visually stunning? Absolutely, and the soundtrack is fantastic Its just a shame the plot is lame

@bodieofci5 Totally agree with ye but I could totally forgive her because of the "must you?" retort in Bronco Billy. Two words in a so so comedy that still kill me everytime I see it

How about Sofia Copula in GODFATHER 3?

Raul Julia, Street Fighter The Movie

Best performance in bad films: How about Michael Gough in Batman Forever and Batman & Robin?

Raul Julia in Street Fighter. Brilliant performance.

That's the largest hi hat I've ever seen

Best performance in a bad movie: Daniel Day-Lewis in My Left Foot Worst performance in a good movie: Quentin Tarantino in Django Unchained

best performer bad movie: Daniel Day Lewis - gangs of new york, the man carries the film which only really has his performance and the set/costume design going for it. or jim carrey in the Grinch, again his performance is the only good thing about the film cant think of a bad performance in a good movie which stands out atm

Jim Caviezel in The Thin Red Line and Matthew Modine in Full Metal Jacket!

The godfather 3 is a good movie it’s just seen as a bad movie because it’s always compared to 2 of the best movies ever

@skinwalkerxxx I completely agree with the first part. But still, I like his films somehow very much. I think you can feel a sort of love for moviemaking.

I was absolutely blown away by Cage in Adaption

Love actually, Bill Nighty gave it some great edge with his occasional acid insults as the rock star

I know it's not the most popular film but Tron: Legacy is hardly a clunker.

@GreenyyMan Spelt is a type of grain crop similar to wheat...

Julian Sands?! Noo!! How dare you say that! I loved him in Tale of a Vampire. One of my all-time fave movies! And yes, Laura Dern is wonderful. I thought worst performance in a great film: Anthony Hopkins in Bram Stoker's Dracula and Tom Cruise in Interview with a Vampire. I started yelling at the TV both times.

@bswiders agree with you on the driver

I like Mark's coat.

Has to be Gwyneth Paltrow in Shakespeare In Love! Fortunately the movie is THAT good that even her unwavering awfulness won't stop me watching it again and again.

@HotDogMarchant Yes, I hate that kid! The terminator was one of Hollywood's most terrifying creations and in the sequel he's teaching Arnie 'cool' language and high 5s. Infuriating.

@KotowTV I totally agree. Infact I'll go the opposite of what was said in this video and say the the WORST thing about it was Michael Sheen's preposterous hamming..

Gary Oldman in The Darkest Hour. It’s as if every ounce of energy that went into making the movie was sucked up by Gary Oldman, and as result he put in a fantastic performance, but everything else seemed a bit limp.

John Heard in CHUD and Frank Langella in Masters of the Universe.

Not a real stinker of a movie, just OK, but Paul Giamattis performance in Ironclad(2011) is amazing.

@QuatermassMan And what makes it even worse is that movie around that steaming pile of middle fingers to the audience is the talent surrounding him: Director Blake Edwards, writers Truman Capote and George Axelrod, and Audrey, my love. But Mickey as Mr. Yunioshi is a blemish you can't ignore.

"Matthew Mahogany" XD NICE pick with Walken in _Communion_ Hahaha! YE GODZ!! XD

i quite liked Paul Bettany in Priest, underrated movie imo.

No Eva Green? Astonishing actress in a few bad projects.

Looking for the folow up vlog about bad acting in good films. Did it ever happen?

To me the mark of a great actor is transforming trashy into something meaningful through the sheer power of performance. I cite Henry Fonda in “The Swarm”. Not only is it a stinker of a film, but Fonda is only in it for about 5 minutes and really doesn’t have much to work with. In his hands the statement “This feels bad” as he’s dying becomes compelling viewing and he gives 100% total commitment to a piece of Irwin Allen schlock.

@Flurbdurb Watched it a couple of weeks ago and couldn't agree more. It's comforting to know you're not the only one .-)

Edward Furlong (John Connor) in Terminator 2, mostly for his voice. I know it's not a great reason to dislike a performance, but I've never been able to get over how annoying it is.

I must say, I adore Joe Pesci, but I thought he was quite poor in JFK (one of my favourite films). I saw the film after reading several books on the assassination and therefore, went in expecting a more quiet, somber portrayal of David Ferrie. However, I thought that Pesci brought too much of his “DeVitoness” to the role. Rather than the “sad clown” reputation of which the real Ferrie was known for.

@MrBronwaugh don't you mean Lambert Wilson? I don't think Ralphie was in that one, though he has been in a fair number of stinkers

Sam J. Jones in "Flash Gordon." It's a damn shame Kurt Russell turned down the role.

@Nopperabou Because a film is about more than just the actors?

Daniel Radcliffe in all the Harry Potter films,and I do mean all the films.

Bjork in Dancer in the Dark (she was either terrible or brilliant, I can't decide)

Sophia Coppola - The Godfather Part 3

@michey1978 I agree too. The problem the film has is twofold; 1) We didn't really need it IMO and 2) It followed two Best Picture winners

The pub table with the ridiculous lamp on it in Kerrmode Uncut

Thats such a silly thing to say about Inland considering that movies is stylistically so similar like fire walk with me and season 2 lynch directed twin peaks episodes

Riki Takeuchi in Battle Royale II: Requiem

Yep. Seen it. Exactly the same Bill Nighy, with added shouting at one point.

love actually is one of my favorite romantic comedies

Of course!

I think you should add Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz in Bourne Legacy.

I love Inland Empire and Breaking the waves

@woolfy1982 What do you have against Edward Norton?

Walken has also been an AWFUL actor in awful movies - when he's giving his A-Game he's hard to touch, but he's done a LOT of check-cashing parts over the last few decades.

Katie Holmes in Batman Begins

i actually thought order of the phoenix was the worst one. haven't read the books and as a result, had no idea what was going on

Godfather 3 is not the stinker everyone makes it out to be, just to much expectation due to the first two films.

I realise that but has a video been made? I did my homework

Worst actress in the best movie: katie holmes in batman begins

@RedlegsBluelegs That movie was two people in a cabin going crazy. Like I think having a kick-ass cabin would not be capable of rescuring the movie.
