I wonder how much people's list would change if the question was worded as such:

"I would be willing to pay full theater ticket prices to see anything ----- ---- is in."

My pick: Clint Howard.

Christian Bale
Steve Buscemi
John Candy
Russell Crowe
Matt Damon
Rodney Dangerfield
Robert De Niro
Chris Farley
Paul Giamatti
Tom Hanks
Ethan Hawke
Phillip Seymour Hoffman
Scarlett Johansson
Laura Linney
Bill Murray
Edward Norton
Clive Owen
Al Pacino
Paul Reubens
Adam Sandler
Will Smith
David Spade
Uma Thurman
Mark Wahlberg
Denzel Washington
Rachel Weisz
Bruce Willis

I would like to include Jim Carrey in that list, but seeing as how the thread says "ANYTHING" I don't think I can, as I refuse to see "The Grinch" and "Horton Hears A Who." Anything related to Dr. Seuss that did not have his direct involvement and/or approval is unacceptable to me.

I'm definitely not as easy here as most, I mean I F'n love Bruce Willis but even if I was paid to, I would never watch The Whole Ten Yards.

Off the top of the head these are the people (living) I think I watch anything they do. . . .


Sean Connery
Russel Crowe
Clive Owen
Panom Yeerum
Liam Neeson
Tilda Swinton (made me sit through that piece of shit Narnia movie)
Cate Blanchett
Christian Bale
Eva Green (I could watch her poop on screen for 3 hours)
Viggo Mortensen
Natalie Portman
David Duchovny
Ethan Hawke (IMO the single most underrated talent in Hollywood)
Val Kilmer
Mathew Lillard (just want to see if anyone is actually reading this)

I don't have a single person. If a movie looks good I will go see it or well I used to. With movie tickets creeping more and more into DVD prices I only go if I think I will really, really enjoy the movie more so than if I watched it at home. Like for example I plan on seeing Hellboy 2 tomorrow.

The thing about Denzel though is this, and it never fails: I see a trailer for a movie he's going to be in, and I'm like, "Oh, that looks good, I want to see that." Then I never do. The last movie of his I saw in the theatre was John Q., although the trend started with Training Day and The Hurricane (I did eventually see the former). I'm pretty sure I've wanted to see every single movie he's been in since when I see the trailer, but for some reason, I just never do. I thought it would change last year with American Gangster, but it still didn't. Go figure.

I hear ya. I mentioned him because I really like him as an actor - he's been in some pretty shitty movies though so as far as his films go, you're not missing out (I barely made it through Deja-Vu).

I don't think there's any actor where I would see absolutely anything they were in. There are a lot of actors I really admire and enjoy watching, but probably all of them have made something that just didn't interest me at all.

In the 70's & 80's it was Al Pacino for me.
Today it's like if he's in the movie must suck.
