Their career worst performance

Sharon Stone - Basic Instinct 2.

Its one of the films so bad, it makes you wonder was the entire crew on shrooms during production. How can they produce such a bomb.

Diane Keaton - Because I Said So

Fiona Shaw - The Black Dahlia (a hammy mess)

Katharine Hepburn - Dragon Seed

I forgot to sign R3

John Travolta - Gotti

Audrey Hepburn - Green Mansions

Lucille Ball -- Mame

Julia Roberts - Mary Reilly

Ginger Rogers in "Black Widow"

Miss Ava Gardner in Earthquake.

Meryl Streep -- "Momma Mia!"

Donald Trump as “President”

Okay, r12 wins!

Nicolas Cage in The Wicker Man.

Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

John Travolta in Battlefield Earth (sci-fi clam propaganda).

John Travolta as Himself in Orientation: A Scientology Information Film.

Oh, really, r9. Who cares about her performance when her wardrobe was so divine?

Two more for Brando: Teahouse of the August Moon, in yellowface for fuck's sake, and Reflections in a Golden Eye.

Halle Berry - Catwoman

Kathleen Turner - Baby Geniuses

Antonio Bandares - Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever

r18, good choices!

Meryl Streep in Still of the Night. She even agrees. She tries, but she's miscast as a femme fatale. Who the fuck thought that would work?

Sharon Stone - Diabolique

Jess Lange in King Kong

John Travolta as Robert Shapiro in The People vs. OJ. It was an incredibly odd performance.

Saoirse Ronan in Little Women

Ryan O'Neal in Tough Guys Don't Dance, written and directed by Norman Mailer.

John Travolta - Battlefield Earth

Sylvester Stallone - Rhinestone

Lily Tomlin - Moment by Moment

r24, I thought she was good in that. It's hard to find a movie where she was really bad, but I didn't think she was as strong in Mary Queen of Scots as she was in her other movies

Madeline Kahn, Gilda Radner, and Bob Newhart - First Family

Richard Gere and Jodie Foster - Sommersby

I just could never understand why they didn't have sexual heat in this movie???

Brad Pitt - War Machine

Paul Newman - When Time Ran Out

Johnny Depp - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

A lot of Johnny Depp's self-consciously "quirky" performances are hard to take

Blythe Danner in "Brighton Beach Memoirs."

Paul Newman admitted that his worst performance was early on in his career, the film was entitled "The Silver Chalice."

Another vote for "Lucy/Mame."

Diana Ross in The Wiz. Her hair and costume made her look frumpy and aged her a lot. Too old and whiny. Such a dour performance for what should have been a fun film.

Joanne Woodward, THE FUGITIVE KIND. Southern belles always make the worst southerners onscreen.

Paula Abdul - Vibeology at the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards

Demo Moore - Scarlet Letter

Linda Hamilton - King Kong Lives

Nicole Kidman - Bewitched

Tom Cruise- The Mummy. I actually got up and walked out and asked for my money back.

I hate "Still of the Night" or Stab as it was originally called. (should have let Kate Jackson have it.)

Olympia Dukakis - Steel Magnolias

R39 sacrilege.

r36, thanks for reminding me of that TERRIBLE version of The Scarlet Letter

R38 I had my worst performance in a movie called STAB too!

At least you survived the shoot!

Brad Pitt in Inglourious Basterds.

His community theater Tennessee accent was HILARIOUS.

[quote] thanks for reminding me of that TERRIBLE version of The Scarlet Letter

The only good part in the film was Gary Oldman's nude swimming scene, which my sophomore year English class all got to see in class.

Al Pacino - Jack and Jill

Well, R27, just try getting a load of Saoirse in The Host and then come back here to report...

Britney Spears at the 2007 VMAs.

Tilda Swinton in Julia. Her American accent was painful.

Holly Hunter was incredibly annoying in Copycat. That had to have been her worst performance.

[quote] Their career worst performance

Kevin Spacey as a heterosexual.

Mariah Carey---Glitter for movies and New Year's Eve 2016 for music

Jessica Lange -- "Hush"

What a ham.

Meryl Streep as Julia Child. Like a two hour SNL skit.

Yes r3...

r32 - Oh honey, Blythe's career is full of worsts....

r23, I actually enjoyed that performance by him. He was compelling as fuck. I'm not that familiar with the real Shapiro, however.

R53, a template for Constance Langdon, Sister Jude and Fiona Goode.

Leonardo DiCaprio in anything where he has to appear rugged

Mickey Rooney’s bucktooth Japanese neighbor in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”

What were they thinking?

R59, I think The Departed was particularly bad

I used to say, "anything where Leonardo DiCaprio plays an adult."

He always seemed like a kid playing dress up.

But he was much better in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. Maybe all the age and booze have made him more realistic.

Pauly Shore...hmmm still thinking.

ScarJo kinda sucked in The Prestige

Cate Blanchett was weirdly flat in Lord of the Rings

Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in Batman Rises. The first time I found Catwoman totally unsexy. Totally miscast.

R66, it’s a shame they didn’t make that movie ten years earlier. Angelina Jolie would’ve been terrific as that incarnation of Catwoman.

Yeah, AnnE seems more like Batgirl.

[quote]Demo Moore - Scarlet Letter

Please, let’s make this the new Lens.

R66, Hathaway, surprisingly, was credible in the scenes that required her to be a tough, scrappy street criminal going face to face with other criminals, but you're right about her lack of sexiness. Every time she lowered her head, looked up coquettishly and tried to talk in a seductive, sexy voice, a violent shudder went through me. It was AWFUL, just the cringiest thing I've ever seen. She is NOT sexy. It reminds me of that movie THIS IS WAR where we're expected to believe that Chris Pine and Tom Hardy would "go to war" over who gets [italic]Reese Witherspoon(!?!)[/italic] of all people. For the entire movie they have Reese wearing the sluttiest clothes the costume designer could find to convince us she desirable -- mini-skirts all the way up to her crotch. IT DOESN'T WORK. Reese is not sexy and neither is Hathaway.

Bette Davis - Wicked Stepmother

I've once posted this before, but years ago I saw Mickey Rooney in The Wizard of Oz at the theater at Madison Square Garden - he played the wizard - and he was so awful, I felt embarrassed for him.

It looked like he was suffering from a hangover (not an impossibility since it was an early performance).

In movies - Laurence Olivier in The Betsy and Richard Burton in Exorcist II

[quote]It reminds me of that movie THIS IS WAR where we're expected to believe that Chris Pine and Tom Hardy would "go to war" over who gets Reese Witherspoon(!?!) of all people.

Reese didn't stand a chance. The problem with that movie is that Chris and Tom always seem liked they'd much rather fuck each other.

r72, I agree

Ryan Gosling in the new Blade Runner. Such a long and boring movie. Actually was a big fan of the original.

Cate Blanchett in The Aviator. Beyond awful.

I thought Cate Blanchett was worse in The Talented Mr. Ripley.

I kept waiting for her to tell Ripley about the time she squashed a ping pong ball and it was just ghastly.

R66 and R69 Ew. I'm so glad I didn't see it. It does seem painful to watch AnnE trying to be sexy. She is as sexless and thirsty as Jennifer Garner.

I thought Blanchett was great in The Talented Mr. Ripley

Whitney Houston’s film debut. I love her and always will, but she was so wildly uneven in that movie. Still love to watch it because she’s so beautiful in it.

So many to choose from by Vadge but Swept Away was her worst role/performance.

Natalie Portman has done some garbage. But this last year. Lucy in the sky. The horrible wig and accent. The movie was just terrible. What was so funny about it was they were saying she would probably get an Oscar nom for it. Until they actually saw it at the Toronto film festival. It wasn't brought up again.

R77 Cate Blanchett was pretty awful in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Although to her credit, that whole thing was a train wreck.

Cate Blanchett is one of our most overrated actresses. She lacks a great deal of likability.

R84, She may not be likeable but she is a dam good actress. Have you never seen Blue Jasmine. Brilliant. Get some better taste buttercup.

No one shits on Olivier or De Niro for not being likable......why do only females have to be likable?

I shit on Olivier's hammy bisexual ass all the time. And I am so disappointed in DeNiro's awful string of films over the past two decades. Now he's made YET ANOTHER mobster movie with Scorsese. How original - NOT.

I did enjoy Blanchett in BLUE JASMINE very much. But it was the story that was stronger than anything. I just liked seeing her character get her comeuppance.

YAWN, R86. Save it for your HuffPo column.

R88, save it for your Fox News show, Mr. Incel

TIE! Al Pacino- Scent of A Woman Al Pacino- The Irishman

I saw Blythe in Follies, I don't think she was Horrible .

La Liz in BOOM !!

Pacino and Sean Penn both attended the same Catholic school; Our Lady of Male Thespian Histrionics.

Our Lady of Male Thespian Histrionics is very selective, even more so than the Copacabana School of Dramatic Art
