Good cast, horrible movie

[EricNoah]

A comment about Ben Kingsley in another thread reminded me of a movie that sounds like it should have been a winner (based on the cast list) but stunk to high heaven. A sci fi movie starring Mark Hamill and featuring F. Murray Abraham and (you guessed it) Ben Kingsley. I am speaking of course about ... Slipstream!

Whever I think of "impressive cast/sucky movie" situations, I think of Slipstream (blerg). How 'bout you -- what horrible movies have lured you in with a stellar cast list?

Nothing But Trouble

Dan Akroyd
John Candy
Chevy Chase

It's like a Who's Who of 80's comedy. . . and it's one of the worst films I've ever witnessed. I still have scars.

 

[Hand of Evil]

IN THE NAME OF THE KING: A DUNGEON SIEGE TALE
Actors:
Jason Statham
John Rhys-Davies
Ray Liotta
Leelee Sobieski
Ron Perlman
Claire Forlani
Matthew Lillard
Burt Reynolds

Sure it was a Uwe Boll movie but look at that cast!

I liked Slipstream, a lot!

I'm unable to predict the future accurately, but I'll try:

The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)
Jennifer Connelly
Jon Hamm
John Cleese
Kathy Bates

Oh, and Keanu Reeves.

 

[Brown Jenkin]

Ishtar (1987)
Warren Beatty
Dustin Hoffman

You'd think with all those Academy Awards between the main actors this would have been good, but no.

 

[Brown Jenkin]

Scarlet Letter (1995)
Demi Moore
Gary Oldman
Robert Duvall

Worst movie of all time. DO NOT WATCH. BE WARNED. You will not get your 2 hours or your brain cells back.

 

[S. Baldrick]

Nothing But Trouble

Dan Akroyd
John Candy
Chevy Chase

It's like a Who's Who of 80's comedy. . . and it's one of the worst films I've ever witnessed. I still have scars.

I still have nightmares about that movie.

 

[Silver Moon]

Superman III
Christoper Reeve
Richard Pryor
Robert Vaughn

After two great films they give us....this?

 

[Mark]

The Conqueror (1956)

John Wayne ... Temujin, later Genghis Khan
Susan Hayward ... Bortai
Agnes Moorehead ... Hunlun
John Hoyt ... Shaman
William Conrad ... Kasar
Lee Van Cleef ... Chepei

Its not that bad once you acept it for what it is, a Richard Pyror comedy.
