Actor or Actress.. List as many movies as you can and we can compare with other answers.
Someone was just telling me Sharon Stone when we were discussing the "Favorite Actor Who Was Never In A Great Movie" thread, and gave me this idea.

Guys like Tim Curry, Malcolm McDowell, or Udo Kier.

Well, considering the career after 97-98, i'd say Robert De Niro. With notable exceptions such as The Irishman

I'm confused, since the question in the title and the one in the O.P. are 2 different things.
Many bad movies? Leslie Nielsen. Never in a good movie? Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Well John Carradine was in some great movies but also a lot of not so great movies. I don't know the ratio.
He did some awful stuff like Dr Terror's Gallery of Horrors but did the best he could with it.
Anecdote: when making this movie they needed a sandwich prop for a scene so the set decorator grabbed some garbage from the day's catering and made a sandwich out of it. It was for a scene where Carradine requests something to eat.
So after the scene the prop man goes to reclaim the sandwich to throw in the trash and he sees Carradine eating it up!

Any actor/actress who has gone from doing good/great stuff to direct-to-DVD.

Nicolas Cage, the amount of garbage movies he has been in the last 10 years or so is hard to believe.

Tom Cruise is in many bad movies? He has one of the greatest filmographies of all time.

I was thinking of him just before I read this thread.
I guess he was blase` about it. I remember a show where he was talking to Vincent Price-they hadn't seen each other in over a decade and Carradine said "the last movie we did together, well it wasn't a horror picture but it was certainly a horror."

I actually think Burton, while clearly a great stage actor, was only as good as the movie he was in. When the material was strong he could be magnificent (his performance in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is one of the greatest by an actor I have ever seen, and I think he's almost as wonderful in Night of the Iguana and 1984). But when the film was not up to scratch, he could be awfully wooden... examples: The Robe and Equus.

Yeah, That is True.
Would Peter Cushing also qualify as well ?
