Agreed 100%. Can't stand the guy, but the movie is brilliant and it's the only part I've ever seen him in that he seemed "right" for.

I hate Claire Danes more than any other actor or actress in the history of the universe because of the crap she said about the motherland. Because of her I've not seen any of her movies since the Rainmaker, which I liked.

I'd probably like Igby Goes Down too, but I'll never find out.

You reminded me to tell you something: Per a conversation we had, I believe you were under the impression that Danes was in Identity and I kind of agreed since she's one of those faceless actresses for me. In fact it's not Claire Danes, but Clea Duvall in the movie.

Now you can take that one off your s--t list (not that it's very important to see . . . )

As to the question, the only actor I can come up with right now that I hate is Drew Barrymore. And the only movie that she's in that I enjoy is Donnie Darko (despite her).

All you have to do is google "Claire Danes Philippines."

I do find it funny that the govt actually [BANNED] her from stepping foot there ever again. Harsh, but still funny.

I can't stand Jim Carrey, but I liked the Truman Show. I guess his acting/personality in that just wasn't bad enough to totally ruin the movie for me. Still, I'm not going out to buy the DVD.

She says something rude in a magazine and the government bans all her films from playing in the Philipines.

And yet some people say that America is intollerant.

Yeah. Government has never really been that country's strong point. One could probably make a killing selling Terminator 3 to their black market.

Matt Damon.
I like Good Will Hunting. Though mostly it's because of Robin Williams and the smart screenplay.

I think the star you love to hate has to be the lead actor/actress or have a large supporting role in the movie you like otherwise you can rationalize that others carried the movie into the like column.

Nick Cage - For me, he ruins most movies that he stars in. But I liked FaceOff, the Rock, and Con Air in spite of his sorry mug.

Russell Crowe - I dislike him but liked LA Confidential.

I don't like Travolta. Something about the guy. But I liked the movies FaceOff and Broken Arrow. I sorta liked SwordFish.

Dennis Quaid ... l liked the movie Frequency.

Jean Claude Van Damme
can't stand him. but I'm watching timecop right now as it is a decent movie
would have been better with a different lead actor though
and liking a movie doesn't mean liking all the actors and their acting in it

I never base my decision to see a movie on the actors.

not true... its entirely possible for an actor is perform different/better in various roles for whatever reasons. If actors were cyborgs and each/every performance was determined by some sort of set perameters, then yeah it'd be impossible to pick out certain movies and say you like/dislike them.

At any rate, my #1 vote goes to keanu reeves. I cant stand him in anything but the Matrix/Reloaded. The best comparison i can think of for good/bad reeves is when u compare Matrix 1 vs Speed. In the later he always tries to look like a tough guy and comes off like a total dork/wimp. different story in the matrix.
