Greencard.

But granted, these were American made movies.

ACK!

I agree, Greencard sucked. The other I haven't seen.

I saw plenty of good (French) ones, and surely his name on the billboard will draw me to the cinema.

I'm just not sure how good an actor Bruce Lee's corpse would be. Probably still better than Denise Richards, though.

I read an article about some people who tries to create a 3D model of actors like Bruce Lee and John Wayne, so they some day could be in a new movie... and I believe it'll be possible to create their voices also... so who knows, one day he might star in another movie

Like the Beer commercial that had John Wayne in it. Was it a Coors light commercial? I cannot remember which brand.

I can totally imagine all the great new flicks with Bruce Lee kicking some poor extra's ass.

...interesting.. no chick actors. Hmmmmm. Not sure why

For some reason most women only do a few movies that aren't girls-movies, which makes their chances of doing some boring (seen from a guy perspective) movie much higher


Sandra Bullock is one of those women that has a high chance of making a good movie (compared to other women), but she have been in many not-so-good movies too

And Kelly Hu is amazing, but her full potential is never used in the movies she's in

as for actresses, let me think...

I'd go with older actresses. Meryl Streep maybe? She's a great actress, but sometimes she stars in boring movies.

Edit: oh, I forgot Takeshi Kitano, which I love. However, his movies shine probably because of his direction more than of his acting.

Takeshi Kitano is my hero, both his acting and directing!

Well, I don't think there really are any actors that guarantee a good movie. But there certainly are those who at least make me want to find out. Let's see...

Clint Eastwood
Johnny Depp
Bruce Willis
Forest Whitaker
Morgan Freeman
Bill Murray
Harvey Keitel
Jim Carrey
Adam Sandler
... and then probably a whole bunch I forgot.

... Yep, no women either. I'm not sure why.
But conversely, are there really that many big female movie stars who really carry a movie, other than romantic comedies? (or, um, sort of what Adagio said)

Oh, and for all those mentioning Christopher Walken. Are you sure?

[Ben Kenobi]

Alec Guiness

[Asher]

Oh, and for all those mentioning Christopher Walken. Are you sure?

His scenes are awesome in the movie. It's also the only good thing in the movie.

[Mercator]

Well, I'll have to take your word for it. I don't doubt he IS good. But it's obvious we all have different opinions on what we mean with "Movie stars you trust to make good movies".

[Asher]

He admits to rarely turning down movie offers, no matter how bad they are.

Yet, any scene he's in is awesome for whatever reason -- no matter how bad the movie is. Thus, he's on the list.

I can't understand what some people consider a "good movie"

Forest Whitaker? Please say that's a joke.
