    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.

      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! :) )

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

        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.

          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?

          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."

                  Well Dave got it right, he can really pick some crap scripts. Especially when he lets his religion dictate the choice.

                      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.

                            Keanu is the worst. I thought Point Break was so cool as a kid, but then you watch it as an adult and you realize why it was such a great role for Keanu. Because he was playing a detective under cover. So in it a way it was supposed to appear as if he was acting...

                                  Cage is good more often than bad. Reeves the other way. Travolta is improving. DiCaprio and Cruise I would say get more work than they should. P.S. And Costner. P.P.S. Swayze
