Hating

There is a bunch of actors, who, by starring in the movie, ruin the movie completely.

By "starring" here I mean "playing somewhat significant part". Cameos usually don't hurt much — with a few exceptions.

By "ruin the movie" I mean "make the movie unbearable for me to watch". As my opinion is clearly superior to everyone else's, that is all that counts.

Here's the list, which I'll probably amend later:

Konstantin Khabenskiy
Johnny Depp
Bill Murray
Robin Williams
Adam Sandler
Jim Carrey
Steve Martin

Only Khabenskiy ruins everything he touches.

Amazingly, not a single female actor have made this list. I don't know what that means — either my tolerance to actresses is much bigger, or it's easier for the shitty male actor to become a big star than for a female one.

> Have you seen Dead Man?

No.

> How about Groundhog Day

Yes, actively dislike it.

> Lost in Translation?

Partly, couldn't finish it.

> Eternal Shining of a Spotless Mind?

No.

> Birds Cage?

Again — started, found it to be absolute shit, turned off.

Well. Maybe something special with your perception.

What movies do you like?

There are lots of them. If you want the whole list, I'm afraid, it won't fit into the comment.

It's hard to say which movie is your favorite — there are many close contenders. Perhaps it's "Moonstruck", with Cher. Or, maybe, "Secondhand Lions", with Michael Caine and Robert Duvall. Or "King's speech" with Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush.

I would really recommend "Inception" by Nolan, "Avengers" by Whedon, "Easy Virtue" by Elliott, "Oscar" by Landis (NOT the Molinaro's original), "True Lies" by Cameron, "12 Angry Men" by Lumet, "Next Three Days" by Haggis, "Without a Clue" by Eberhardt, everything from "Hussar Ballad" to "Forgotten Tune for the Flute" by Ryazanov, "Peter's Friends" by Branagh, "Mamma Mia!" by Lloyd... and that's not even a tenth of them.
