    Default Which actors make you watch or avoid a movie

    A spin off to the worst movies thread.

    Which actors will make you watch a movie even if you don't know anything about the movie. Myself, if Morgan Freeman is in it I will usually give it a go as he usually only appears in pretty good movies. Others include Chris Rock, Anthony Hopkins, Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington, George Clooney.

    Which actors will make you avoid watching a movie coz they piss you off and you just could not bear to watch it? Mine are Adam Sandler, Jim Carey, Ben Stiller, Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruize.

    Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.

    Edward Norton. I watched "The Painted Veil" for Ed Norton. (It was not the most interesting movie...) I also give special consideration to Gerard Butler and Robert Redford.

    I would NEVER put a penny into anything w/ Dane Cook. End of effin' story.

    I watch the Real World for Trisha. If Redford is in a movie I know it will probably be good since he chooses all his own stuff and doesn't need the money.

    Ditto Owen wilson, love Ben Stiller and Tom Hanks. I will usually watch for a storyline rather than a specific actor though. Natalie Portman is amazing and I think Lindsay Lohan is a really good actress.

    Is wanting to watch Jessica Alba in pretty much anything too cliche? Jennifer Connolly or her husband Paul Bettany (? I didn't look up the spelling). Matthew Lillard makes interesting stuff. Anything with Vincent Dinofrio is usually an entertaining trainwreck.

    Avoid? -> Paris Hilton (which is usually made easy by the fact that she's a shit actor in shit movies)

    Watch? Milla Jovovich, Bruce Willis, John Travolta, Nicholas Cage, Christopher Walken, Jackie Chan, Morgan Freeman, Jim Carrey (comedy movies), Angelina Jolie, Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving, Laurence Fishburne, Adam Sandler.... probably many more, just tired of typing them all.

    I will NOT watch anything with Tara Reid (sp) in it. OMG that voice....ahhhh. Maybe if she never talked.

    I do like to watch Jen Aniston lately (The Break Up) in movies...good actress imo.
