JamesStewartFan95 Posted January 25 I love movies that get everything right, and furthermore the great performances within those movies. I also love Faye Dunaway in Mommie Dearest and Alan Rickman in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. With that being said, what are your favourite good performances in bad films?

Sukhov Posted January 25 I don't think Mommie Dearest is a bad movie. It gets a bad rep but I liked it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NipkowDisc Posted January 26 Dan O'Bannon in Dark Star. "My real name is Bil Froog and I'm a field maintenance engineer. Pinback's suits do not fit me therefore I wish to return to earth!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ampersand Posted January 26 Nicolas Cage in Deadfall (1993). The movie is terrible from the start in every single way, but once Nicolas Cage gets into the picture, it becomes hilarious. It's the definition of Cage, his Cagiest performance in all of Cagedom, and he's the reason anybody remembers that a movie called Deadfall came out in the 90s. Absolute, hilarious insanity. Once he leaves, the movie isn't the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sepiatone Posted January 26 Good performances in bad films? There's probably a lot in my memory banks, but off the top.... Even though the critics gave it a lot of praise, I thought it stunk( as Mom Would say) "to high heaven". The movie to which I refer is... THE HOURS. Dreadfully boring tripe that was aptly named due to how long it seemed(but really wasn't). But the performances of NICHOLE KIDMAN, JULIANNA MOORE and MERYL STREEP were outstanding considering what they had to work with. Sepiatone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sepiatone The movie "Stand Up and Cheer" (1934) was considered a turkey but being so boring zzzz is why people woke up after seeing.... But if she wasn't in the film, need one of these to tell everyone the movie is over. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
