Good Cast, Bad Movie

I got "Twisted" from Netflix (they said I'd like it, lying bastards). But with a cast of Ashley Judd, Samuel L. Jackson, Andy Garcia and David Straithairn (and directed by Phil Kaufman who did the Right Stuff) there is no way it should have been as bad as it was.
What other films have had a great cast, but stunk up the joint?

 

All I Want -- Mandy Moore, Franke Potente and Elijah Wood. Absolute dreck.

 

The Great White Hype. One of the absolute biggest travishamockeries ever, starring Samuel L. Jackson, Jeff Goldblum, Jon Lovitz and a cast of thousands... directed by Ron Shelton. Oy.

 

Ghostbusters II

 

1941 -- (and while I love the movie, all in all, it is pretty bad) Directed by Spielberg, score by John Williams. But it bombed like, well, Pearl Harbor.

"The Missouri Breaks." Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, awful movie.

 

Dune.

The David Lynch version. Not an "all-star" cast, but for those who read the book, absolutely perfect casting and production design . . . in the service of a horrendous script. A missed opportunity.

Also thought considering its credentials as far as cast and director, Saving Private Ryan had no business being boring for about 2/3rds of its running time.

And . . . . The Departed seemed like a movie that didn't gain much with having a name in every single role.

 

Look at almost every movie Andy Garcia has been in. He generally works with really good people, and his movies always seem to suck with a couple of exceptions (Ocean's 11 and The Untouchables).

Another one that was unbelievably bad was Nothing But Trouble. Dan Aykroyd's directorial debut featuring him, John Candy, Chevy Chase and Demi Moore. Even if it wasn't great, you'd think there must have been a funny scene or two in the scriot somewhere for them to do that film. No, there wasn't.

 

Agreed. But it wasn't one of Williams' better film scores. Not even close.

 

That new film about RFK.

 

Didn't Ishtar retire this trophy back in the '80s?

 

Mars Attacks
