    Is it Keanu "The Day my Life Stood Still" Reeves or do you think Nicholas "Lord of Snore" Cage is the worst actor? Possibly you think someone else? Maybe Michael "My Dad was Good" Douglas?

    Keanu Reeves is a bad actor who, for unknown reasons, gets to occasionally make good films (The Matrix). Nicholas Cage is a good actor who, for unknown reasons, occasionally decides to make bad films. There's a subtle difference there. Of the two, I'd rather watch Cage in a bad movie than Reeves in a good one.

      Cage - Face/Off with one of my faves John Travolta, ConAir Reeves - Matrix Cage plays a bad guy or someone troubled pretty well so he gets my saving vote. Keanu loses - "Goodbye ... Mr Anderson"

      My new favourite phrase - "misdirected leisure activity"

        Frankly The Matrix wasn't about acting.

          Cage did Con Air so he gets a pass from me for that. Reeves, of course, did Bill and Ted as well as the Matrix so he gets a pass from me for those. I'm going to have to go with a controversial one here and say DiCaprio - he really gets on my n ipple ends.

                Van Damme played the Predator in two scenes before he was fired. Both scenes involved him being invisible and that is why I thought it his best film. (I was hoping someone would ask! :) )

                    No it wasn't. For its genre, I thought it was a pretty good movie, all the same.

                      John Travolta - Battlefield Earth has got to be the worst film ever. Who remembers Zardoz starring Shaun Connery, if you saw that you would consider him in the same class as JT.

                            For extra man points, you should have pointed out that he was the predator in the fight scene with Arnie at the end.

                              OK - I take it back - the worst actors are (in no particular order) Schwarzenneger (Terminator notwithstanding), Jean Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal. This reminds me of one of my favourite jokes: "Karate - the art of studying for several years, toning your body and then making the worst ever films."

                                        Oh sh*t, what an image. Try writing something for all three. Mud wrestling for the old and wrinklies.

                                          Is it Keanu "The Day my Life Stood Still" Reeves or do you think Nicholas "Lord of Snore" Cage is the worst actor? Possibly you think someone else? Maybe Michael "My Dad was Good" Douglas?

                                          How about most of the garbage made by the Saturday Night Live people when they tried to stretch a one joke 5 min skit into a 90 min movie. I'd give some titles but they aren't that memorable.
