Post your list of Good Casts-Crap Movie--- What are your IMDB #1 Ranks??


How many movies out there are total crap but have a decent stable of actors and a decent story?

This is a GREAT example of that! Heather (Hot as usual) Graham, Jerry O'Connel (tool haircut), John Corbett, Lara (Why is my head so big for my body) Flynn Boyle, and the AMAZING and gorgeous Katie Finnegan! Such a talented group of actors in such a STUPID Movie!!

I rated it a one and while other movies overall are jsut as bad, I rarely feel a 1 is fair except that this movie should have been better.

B-Movies are supposed to suck...that is why they should NEVER get a 1. Roamtic Comedies are formulaic but so long as the rid eis fun, they dont get 1 either. Teen Romp Fests, Splatter Horror films, etc. same rules. You can't apply this theory to quirkie, odd movies that are just not your cup of tea. If they are made to cater to an off group and do, then, they do not deserve the Rank of 1

No, the dreaded Rank of 1 should be reserved for movies that are HORRIBLE but had opportunities NOT to be!

I will post this on other boards that make me feel this way too.

Con-Air belongs on here too. Awesome Cast (Nicolas Cage, Steve Buscemi, John Cusak, Monica Potter, the list goes on...so how was this NOT AMAZING??)

SO NOW List your IMDB #1's that fall into this category!!

What!? Con Air was and still is great. If you enjoy it for what it is: A Popcorn Flick, and you turn your brain off it's a lot of fun.

You know what newdaddy-1, I went on the Con Air board after I posted this and it caused me to watch it again. And to be honest, If you realize that it is what it is, i agree. It is a FUN movie. My point was if I had been given that production budget, with that AWESOME CAST ( I Forgot Kick ASS- John Malcovich_!), what a GREAT Moive that could be made.

Oh and deasair, cmon, lighten up...if you think this one and knocked up were sick you are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too sheletered as a movie goer.

These are my thoughts, they are free, but at least they are my own.

Cursed (2005) - great cast:
Christina Ricci
Judy Greer
Joshua Jackson
Milo Ventimiglia
Michael Rosenbaum
Portia de Rossi
Mya
okay you can forget Shannon Elizabeth and Jesse Eisenberg but the rest of the cast was awesome. Plus: Wes Craven directed and Kevin Williamson wrote the script. The movie flopped anyway and is barely watchable. I still can't believe it. A waste of talent, money and time.

Good to see you came around on Con Air. One of the few films from the 90s that, whenever Encore airs it (which seems to be every other month), I can't turn off until Sweet Home Alabama starts playing. You excuse Cage's whispery, squinty, joke-of-an-accent performance and it's mindless fun at its best.

As far as your question, I can't think of anything off the top. These direct-to-video-ish messes like this film seem to be more common these days. Well, maybe Sphere (1998): Dustin Hoffman, Sharon Stone, Samuel Jackson, Queen Latifah, Liev Schrieber. Directed by Barry Levinson(!!!!). One of the worst experiences for me.
