Top 10 Bad Performances In Good Films

A list of actors whose poor performance was the sole weak link in an otherwise solid movie.
The Top Ten
1 Daryl Hannah - Wall Street Daryl Christine Hannah is an American film actress. She made her screen debut in Brian De Palma's supernatural horror film The Fury.

Wall Street is the only film to win an Oscar and a Razzie, the latter of which went to Hannah for Worst Supporting Actress.

2 Keanu Reeves - Much Ado About Nothing
3 Sofia Coppola - The Godfather Part III Sofia Carmina Coppola is an American screenwriter, director, producer, and former actress. She is the daughter of director, producer, and screenwriter Francis Ford Coppola, and made her film debut as an infant in her father's acclaimed crime drama film, The Godfather.
4 Shelley Duvall - The Shining Shelley Alexis Duvall is an American former actress, producer, writer and singer. Over the duration of her career, Duvall garnered critical acclaim for her portrayals of various eccentric characters. Duvall began her career appearing in various Robert Altman films in the 1970s.

This one performance alone prevented me from completely enjoying this movie.

5 Harvey Keitel - The Last Temptation of Christ
6 Katie Holmes - Batman Begins
7 Quentin Tarantino - From Dusk Till Dawn
8 Chris Tucker - The Fifth Element
9 Danny DeVito - Batman Returns Daniel Michael "Danny" DeVito Jr. is an American actor and filmmaker. He gained prominence for his portrayal of the taxi dispatcher Louie De Palma in the television series Taxi, which won him a Golden Globe and an Emmy.

No. He gave the best performance in the film.

10 January Jones - X-Men: First Class
The Contenders
11 Steven Seagal - Executive Decision Steven Frederic Seagal is an American actor, film producer, screenwriter, film director, martial artist, Aikido instructor, musician, reserve deputy sheriff and entrepreneur.
12 Cameron Diaz - Gangs of New York Cameron Michelle Diaz is an American actress, producer, author, and former fashion model. She rose to stardom with roles in The Mask, My Best Friend's Wedding, and There's Something About Mary, and is also known for voicing the character of Princess Fiona in the Shrek series.

I'd stop just short of calling it a 'bad' performance, but she's the one weak link in a very good film.

13 Russell Crowe - Les Miserables Russell Ira Crowe is an actor, film producer and musician. Although a New Zealand citizen, he has lived most of his life in Australia and identifies himself as an Australian.

He wasn't at his best, but he wasn't that bad

14 Mickey Rooney - Breakfast at Tiffany's
15 Keanu Reeves - Bram Stoker's Dracula Keanu Charles Reeves (born September 2, 1964) is a Canadian actor, director, producer, and musician. He gained fame for his starring role performances in several blockbuster films, including comedies from the Bill and Ted franchise.
16 Tim Roth - The Hateful Eight Timothy Simon Roth (born 14 May 1961) is an English actor and producer. He began acting on films and television series in the 1980s. He was among a group of prominent British actors of the era, the "Brit Pack".
