What are some other terrible movies with amazing casts?
I can think of one right off the top of my head:
Outbreak
Dustin Hoffman
Rene Russo
Morgan Freeman
Kevin Spacey
Cuba Gooding Jr.
Donald Sutherland
Patrick Dempsey

A lot of people whould agree on "Man of Steel" with Oscar nominated names like:
-Amy Adams
-Michael Shannon
-Russell Crowe
-Kevin Costner
-Laurence Fishburne
-Diane Lane
All The King's Men (2006)
Ironically featuring another over-the-top performance by Sean Penn as well as:
Kate Winslet
Jude Law
Anthony Hopkins
Patricia Clarkson
James Gandolfini
Mark Ruffalo
Hang on tightly, let go lightly
Holy cow, you are right about that one. Sean Penn was so egregious in ATKM that it played like a parody. Now, Huey Long could be argued to be a pardoy of himself, but Penn wasn't even close to getting it right.
shareHow about this Jaws-ripoff crapfest: Tentacles (1977)
Henry Fonda
John Huston
Bo Hopkins
Shelly Winters
Claude Akins
It's really the first two on this list that raise a brow. Fonda and Huston must've been in the twilight of desperation. Of course, there are plenty of disaster flicks from the 70s with big-name casts that probably are equally worthy.
For a more recent example, check out the cast of the awful Movie 43: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1333125/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
A WIN, sir.

Ocean's 11... Ocean's 12... Ocean's 13...
11 wasn't that bad, though. At least the director made a conscious effort to be tongue-in-cheek. I think they tried to be serious with Gangster Squad, but when it was unintentionally funny and corny they pretended it was meant to be that way. Like Pee Wee: "I meant to do that."

shareKiss Of Death (1997)
Nicholas Cage
Samuel L Jackson
Ving Rhames
Helen Hunt
Michael Rappaport
And the "star" of the movie and main reason that it sucked, Mr red-headed douche himself:
David Caruso.
Hey, I don't know why we are talking about this here. This movie isn't even that bad. But here's one:
Contagion (2011)
Marion Cotillard
Kate Winslet
Jude Law
Bryan Cranston
Gwyneth Paltrow
Matt Damon
among others I missed or didn't recognize.
Most disaster movies are terrible but that one's surprisingly bad. It helped me fall asleep on the plane though, so at least there's that.
