Brad Pitt is no DDL or Gary Oldman, but he's definitely not bad. He's better than his girlfriend, who is probably about average for Hollywood.

I rarely discriminate by actor- it tends to happen incidentally when I avoid certain types of movies. Rarely does anything with an ex-SNL appeal to me. On the flip side, Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks tend to be in good movies, which makes them look better.

If 'going to see' means go watch in the theater, all of them, I haven't been to the movie theater in quite a few years.

I'd have to say Nick Cage, but truthfully sometimes I'm in the mood for a laugh and I'll watch one of his movies strictly for that and they never disappoint in that aspect. If I'm not in the right mood for them though I get annoyed with him pretty quick. The one guy I can't stand anytime (or the movies he's in as a whole) is Sacha Baron Cohen.

In the 90s I couldn't stand DeCaprio, but oddly he's become one of my favorite current actors with some of the movies he's done in the past decade or so.

Anybody else think the op ruined this thread with his opening 2 picks ? Walken and Farrell are epic. I would go see a movie just to see those 2, especially if they were both in it.

Ferrell, a lot of people don't care for his humor...so I can understand that. Walken definitely makes no sense.

Not a one.
There are some people that I don't care for but if I want to see a movie then I usually am not going to nitpick the cast.

From those already mentioned -

Mel Gibson - probably comes closest to turning me off a movie.
Shia - He's okay.
Brad Pitt - Like him.
Angelina Jolie - Like her.
Will Ferrell - Love him.
Tom Cruise - He's annoying in a funny, sad kind of way but it's not that big of a deal.
Adam Sandler - I wouldn't bother watching him in the theater because his movies always suck unwashed donkey balls.
Sasha Cohen - Love him.
Jack Black - He's alright as a secondary character when they let him go nuts.
Nick Cage - I actually like him.

Rob Schneider, John Travolta, Tom Cruise (redeemed himself a bit in Tropic Thunder, though), Mel Gibson, Jack Black (as a lead; as a supporting actor he's ok, like in The Jackal), Shia LeBoof.

I HATE HATE HATE Julia Roberts. My friends and I used to talk in JR HIGH 15 years ago about how we can't stand her in movies. Oceans 12 I think where they had Julia Roberts playing Julia Roberts was the absolute pinnacle of terrible movie ideas and I can't believe the universe didn't collapse on itself at that moment.

Steven Seagal is hands down the worst actor/director in the history of man, I wouldn't touch any of his work with a 10 foot doo doo stick.

I'd probably pick a bad actor, like Brad Pitt. Not the epicness that is Christopher Walken.

nicolas cage...well...lets just say i loved kick ass because of what happened to his character.
