Due to some inspiration from the werewolf contest, I came up with another topic.
There are tons of bad movies with tons of bad actors, but who are good actors (and by that I mean not by reputation but their performance in the movie) that were just in bad movies?
Feel free to state the vice-versa too (Bad actors, good films)

For me, if the acting is good, then the movie probably is fairly good. If the acting is bad, then the movie is probably bad as well. So, I really can't think of any examples that fit your criteria. Although I guess you could argue that there have been a lot of low budget horror that had pretty subpar acting, but were still fun movies overall, so I guess I'll go with that.

I'll give it a watch when it comes to DVD. If for no other reason to see DeNiro and Pfeiffer. They always give quality performances no matter what the movie is.

And yeah, for some reason the idea of a star falling to earth as claire daines and being protected by flying pirates and chased by witches makes me want to punch someone in the teeth.  |

^Actually, I believe Cursed goes beyond "Bad" territory, hops the fence over "Horrible", and lands squarely in the middle of God-Awful Retina-Burning Mess.

^^^Yep, werewolves obviously arent Wes Craven's strong suit.............Besides I've always thought that Cursed was Hollywood's attempt to cash in on Ginger Snaps' American cult followiing.

Good actor: Bela Lugosi.
Bad movie: far too many to name. He always put his heart and soul into his role though. Even the $hitty ones.

Ok, stop the presses, I've got the ultimate example:
Good actor - Christopher Lee
BAD, BAD movie - 'The Howling II: Stirba Werewolf B*tch'
Why, Mr. Lee? Why?
