Do people still love Russell Crowe, or did I miss the flip? Anyway, I can take him in L.A. Confidential, maybe just because I like the movie so much, but beyond that I'd rather watch the Russell Crowe episode of South Park four times back to back than sit through another film of his.
I could get by without Sir Ben Kingsley.

I would like to nominate Reese Witherspoon. Thoughts anyone!!!!
if ever you members check out the film bonnie & clyde. check out the very 1st bank scene Clyde tried to rob, I live about 10 miles from where they filmed that scene. there's a steakhouse place called ranchman's they have pics of the actors, etc. that corner where bonnie asked Clyde, what are you waitin for? it is a boot repair shop I am sure. the owners live there. gotta take pics of the place, I know! should have posted the pics years ago, but! I will, I got a new digital camera :)
the owners wont mind , I did ask to take pics of the place before, the lady owner worked at ranchman's steakhouse :)

I think the last thing I saw him in was A Beautiful Mind...I really don't care about him all that much...
I wouldn't miss Bruce Willis if he didn't make anymore movies...Steven Segal....John travolta...yup wouldn't miss them....
Renee Zelweger
Russell Crowe? I wouldn't miss him. But Mel Gibson is sure to get me to the theatre - the guy's just made too many good movies.
As usual I am one of the slowest members to answer
Without any special reasons I dont like the following:
Richared Gere,Huge Grant,Tom Cruise,George Clooney(mostly men as I see)
Sorry,mr.Silencio,but I always liked Keanu Reeves,to say more, I like him very much!
Sorry,smeds,I also like Gwyneth Paltrow.(If I am not mistaken you also didnt like her husband Chris Martin and "Cold Play"?)I love them both.
Easy, Julia Roberts and Whoopi Goldberg

2 actors that don't appeal to me at all: Mike Hunt comes off like he's really deep, & Hugh G. Rection thinks he's so big & hard!!! Nuh uh!!!!
Love Russell Crowe and Ben Kingsley!!! How could you not love Kingsley playing himself in The Sopranos? Or in Sexy Beast! Or Betrayal? Russell Crowe in Romper Stomper. Russell Crowe just being Russell Crowe in a Manhattan hotel. He's very very appealing for an A-list actor.

have ya heard of russell's band 30 odd foot of grunts? just wondering. didn't like the band.
I concur with Susan about Russel and Ben! IMHO, Kingsley could have ousted Sean Penn's Oscar victory (from Mystic River, although I thought he was better and a less Sean-like character in 21 Grams) with his performance in House of Sand and Fog. And in case you forgot, Gandhi. For Russell Crowe, my favorite perormance of his is (hands down) The Insider. He could have easily won for that but it was a heavy year because Spacey was nominated for American Beauty, Denzel for The Hurricane (his best performance, IMHO) and Richard Farnsworth for the The Straight Story and one more doozy but I forgot who. He was a "knockout" in Cinderella Man and yes, I'll say it, Gladiator

I have to agree with the nominations for Julia Roberts.
Matthew McConaughey makes my skin crawl, but maybe that's just me.
Keira Knightley...ugh. I do not get what people see in her.

Ah, House of Sand and Fog! I had forgotten that one, Smokey, but I too loved Ben Kingsley in that. He looks so much like a friend/neighbor of mine so I love him all the more for that.
Matthew McConnaughey (sp? too lazy to check) is a Golden Boy and I'm not ordinarily interested in the type from Troy Donahue to Robert Redfor or James Spader. I don't have many thoughts about him other than curiosity about how he managed to resurrect his receding hairline just when I thought he'd be as bald as Ben by the time he was 40. And now -- voila, a thick set of waves. Impressive! Wish someone had told Aidan Quinn about the secret of saving your hairline.

Toni Colette
Another celebrity loudmouth whose opinions float on the wind. Said she'd slit her wrists if John Howard won another election - and he did - and she failed to deliver!!! ARGHHH!!
I Love Toni! velvet goldmine & little miss sushine, muriel's wedding as well!!!!
Clearly the responses here are as much about people's personal feelings about the players as it is an estimation of their work (check the wording of the title). What a great job, to spend all day pretending to be someone else, AND to be revered and well paid for it! Okay, then, not MOST actors (like myself). Notice how thespians who are rather private people (like say Daniel Day Lewis & Jennifer Jason Leigh) don't show up on anyone's list.
Any man who is honoured with a knighthood and then insists on being called "SIR Ben" on set, rather than just "Ben", or even "Mr Kingsley" at a push, deserves to be thrown off a cliff. What a pretentious twat.
Am I sitting on the fence too much? 
My theory by A. Elk, brackets, Miss, brackets. This theory goes as follows and begins now. All brontosauruses are thin at one end, much much thicker in the middle, and then thin again at the far end. That is my theory, it is mine, and it belongs to me, and I own it, and what it is, too.
As I stated above: personal feelings about thesp vs. their work seems to be at work here. But yeah, I know what ya mean. I had to smack Mr. Jagger about a bit when he insisted 'pon being addressed as Sir Micks A Lot!!!Any man who is honoured with a knighthood and then insists on being called "SIR Ben" on set, rather than just "Ben", or even "Mr Kingsley" at a push, deserves to be thrown off a cliff.

Jude Law. Just can't understand how this guy gets so many good roles with such mediocre talent.

"As I stated above: personal feelings about thesp vs. their work seems to be at work here."
True that. Toni Collette does act well - it's more her loudmouth political views and general arrogance that annoys me about her.
Well, she'll likely never be arrogant enough to become a prominent politician, like say governor or even president (not to name any obvious offenders in our good ol' US & A). To be fair, I don't think the movie world missed Arnie or Ronnie much."As I stated above: personal feelings about thesp vs. their work seems to be at work here."
