1. Suspect Zero-unwatchable....

It's also Aaron Eckhardt's worse film too. Ya gotta wonder what they were thinking!

2. I LOVE Sneakers...

I wanna see Sexy Beast -- he's supposed to be great in it.

3. Gandhi totally sucked.

Some kung fu master he was, he never kicked anybody's ass. And I was totally expecting him to kick some after he was shot that first time, but he never even got back up! That machine gun scene was cool though.

4. Sexy Beast.

Hated it. He was so annoying and hammy I lost respect for him as an actor. Also, I was expecting so much from it and it just bored and frustrated me.

7. I couldn't remember the title but you've just reminded me.

I agree totally. Stupid role, stupid movie, bad acting.

9. Doh! If I'd known, that one would have been on the poll

If it has Bill Paxton, it's at least 80% likely to be a stinker.

12. Bill Paxton's most memorable movie line...

Edited on Thu Jun-08-06 02:17 PM by QuestionAll

from True Lies:

(in his role as used car salesman, taking ah-nold on a test-drive of a classic corvette, and unknowingly describing ah-nold's character's wife)

"...and a pair of titties that make you wanna sit up and beg for buttermilk! Ass like a 10-year old boy!..."

...um...just what the hell is "ass like a 10-year old boy" supposed to mean? and who the hell would write that into a non-gay-porno film???

13. As I recall,

There was some weirdo extreme ultraviolent and pedophilic imagery in Commando, another of Arnold's memorable offerings prior to his distinguished life in politics.

And wasn't there something similar in Last Action Hero? I haven't seen that in ages, and I have no desire to view it again, so I'll have to rely on someone else's memory...

6. He's made a bad movie? I was unaware of this....

Actually Suspect Zero was a bit odd/bad.

11. You can usually count on him for a good performance, but

I don't know who picks his scripts for him. I hope he gets paid a bundle to appear in some of these.

8. Schindler's List

Species and Bloodrayne were WAY better than that piece of garbage
