Bad Movies with great casts?

I thought remakes were better in Ring, Fly, Vanilla sky

though original was probably better in infernal affairs though. I'd have to watch it back to back to really know.

Can't really say that until you've actually seen it.

really bad movei great cast.

also i have to agree with the departed being fantastic movie.

Also Lee Marvin and Raymond Burr

Tim Burton movies:

Mars Attacks!
Batman Returns
Planet of the apes
Alice in wonderland

Hurry Sundown, The Chase, and Towering Inferno immediately leap to mind. Also:
Reflections in a Golden Eye – 1967
The Sergeant – 1968
Suddenly, Last Summer – 1959; The Hollywood Production Code made a mess of that film despite best efforts of Liz Taylor, Kate Hepburn, Montgomery Clift, and Mercedes McCambridge.

Yeah, the original Airport/Airplane disaster flick was mediocre yet passable, but the sequels were just gawd-awful, particularly the one where they turned a 707 into an underwater diving bell!

Yeah, the first part of the film with the psycho-killer brothers was much, much scarier than the vampires who were almost comic relief at that point.

I know I'm gonna get flayed for this, but...



I'm an acolyte of Robert Rodriguez as much as anybody, and I love Frank Miller's Sin City graphic novels. But let's face it, they just don't work on film. The whole damn thing is a trudge to get through, and nearly the entire cast struggles with the material because the characters might as well be cartoons. There are some moments of success in the film, where it feels like the source material really has come alive, but they are few. In my opinion, Sin City is nothing more than an elaborate, expensive, and insufferable fanfilm.

And come to think of it, the cast really isn't that good. There are some names, sure, but I didn't see Alexis Bledel and Michael Clarke Duncan turning any heads at the judge's table.

[Cue joke: "Well, Jessica Alba definitely turned some heads!" *snicker snicker*]

I feel exactly the same way about the Sin City movie as well..

That's exactly what I feared for Sin City, but I really liked it.

Loved Sin City, so I'm not with you on that one. Normally Bruce Willis ruins movies for me, but I liked Sin City a lot and the cast was fantastic.

To answer the question, for me it may have to be Royal Tenenbaums, a royal dissapointment, at least to me.

Whoa. Yeah. Definitely agree.

Not sure if it was already posted but my vote is for: The Men Who Stare at Goats. Clooney, Bridges, Spacey and McGregor. How could it be bad? Ugh

Edison: Kevin Spacey, Morgan Freeman, LL Cool J, Piper Perabo and Justin Timberlake.

Gawd, you got suckered in by that, too? Wasn't it just the pitts!

meet the falkers

The Passage.

Anthony Quinn
James Mason
Malcolm McDowell
Patricia Neal
Kay Lenz
Christopher Lee
Michael Lonsdale
and evidently Jim Broadbent was an uncredited German soldier.

Halloween II (2009)
