ITT: actors with very high good/bad film ratio
Is it worth watching movies based on a single actor, following every film he or she is in? Obviously even great actors have been is shitty or mediocre films, but there are quite a few actors who have still a pretty nice good/bad film ratio. Recently I watched some Christopher Walken movies and most of them were really good and none of them were too bad. Pic might be also relevant. (Also thinking about Gary Oldman, Willem Dafoe, Steve Buschemi...)
Have you ever tried this, watching every movie of a good actor? Who would you recommend for this method, which actors have a superb good/bad film ratio?
I did this with Jennifer Connelly but I can't bring myself to watch her cuck movie.
what do?

John Cazale
5/0 = infinite ratio
and Godfather 3 doesn't count
Don't call my name, Don't call my name, Alejandro
>>68615167
> Willem Dafoe
oh god please spare yourself
can't say anything bad about the others tho. I've watched heaps of movies based on one particular actor/[spolier]waifu[/spoiler] as well, it was rewarding most of the times

Philip Seymour Hoffman knows how to make any movie decent.

>her cuck movie
Which one is that?
I watch films based on who writes and directs them. Couldn't care less about the actors.
Jake Gyllenhaal is one of the actors I most love because of how proficient he is in choosing movie projects. Never seen a bad movie from him.

Not denying he's a great actor but
>Prince of Persia
>>68615607
Emily Blunt and Sarah Gadon are my new waifu actresses, good actresses too btw.
Daniel Day-Lewis, of course
>>68615879
Brothers(2009) is insultingly bad
>>68615961
Oh oops. Let's blame that on him being younger and wanting to at least star in one movie where he shared the spotlight with a hot actress he could fuck. Litterally every other film he's had to preview in had no female costar.
Sam Rockwell is usually good
Good Films:
>Seven Psychopaths
>Frost/Nixon
>Moon
>Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
>Galaxy Quest
>Lawn Dogs
Bad Films:
>Iron Man/2
>The Hitchhiker's Guide

Why does he look like average britbong junkie?
>>68615879
>Day After Tomorrow
I've watched every single Rose Byrne movie. It got pretty rough on more than a few occasions.

Never seen that. In all honesty, I've only been paying attention to him from 2010 onwards, and from those few years of stalking him, all I've noticed is doesn't chug out a movie each year at least, and takes time to select projects. Better than what other younger actors do when they reach fame, like Pratt that discarded all he had going for him by trying to star in too many projects at once.

Iron Man 2 was a bad movie overall, but he was still great in it.

>Litterally every other film he's had to preview in had no female costar.
>now you realize in Enemy he had sex scenes with based waifu Sarah Gadon and another hot blonde Mélanie Laurent
wtf, I hate Jake Gyllenhaal now
>>68616099

>>68615167

>>68615804

>>68615804
Hunger Games an eternal black mark.
>>68617459
he has been in many good films but those are good in spite of and not because of him
he is boring and mediocre, not a good actor by any means
he just plays Tom Cruise in all of his movies desu
>>68616157
he has a sense of style
>>68616203
yeah that's true
>>68617568
exception that proves the rule
>>68617430
Seen it all. Haven't watched any of her other tv stuff.
>>68615450
Also James Dean. All 3 of his movies are kino.
>>68615167
He only won best actor because commies love Che.
>>68616140
Rockwell is the most underrated motherfucker in Hollywood.
>>68616140
Even in a bad movie (I'd include the new poltergeist remake in the bad film list as well, which he was in), he's never bad in it, but usually, bretty good.
