I was sitting here, ******** around, as ussual and lo and behold what appears on my TV but the openening credits of Ishtar. It got me to thinking, you know, Dustin Hoffman's a prety good actor, how'd he end up making this pile of ********
Surely there has to be a quintessential example of this phenomeneon, and perhaps it is indeed, Ishtar. Somehow I think there's something better, allthough I can't put my metaphorical finger on it.
Help a brother out.

Heh, I'd mention that movie Denzel was in but I completely forget what the name of it was. Something about him being framed for burning down his house? Yech! And last night we saw on HBO this movie on the TV guide called STRIP SEARCH (all caps) that was made in 2004 and starred Glenn Close? ?!?!
George Clooney in Solaris comes to mind. I'ld rather sit through an Ishtar all weekend marathon than have to watch that peice of crap again.

Ugh... Battlefield Earth... John Travolta... Not his best work, come on, he could have done MUCH better. =/ Maybe not the "quintessential" example, but certainly a front runner.

How about Best Directors and Worst Movies?
Sam Raimi....Spiderman
Spielberg....AI

Clooney and Travolta are mediocre actors though. Hoffman has an Oscar for god's sake. Middling actors makes lots of bad films.
Half a Legosi in Plan Nine From Outer Space would be the case stufy for that (allthouhg you argue it's such a bad film that it's a classic)
No, I'm thinking more along the lines of if Brando had been in You Got Served.

I'd have to go with For Love of the Game as the worst Raimi movie.
Also, speilberg dircted Allways, much as I hate him for butchering Kubrik's vision of AI.

This is the best answer! Not only is ishtar a definate candidate fot the worst movie of all time, Dustin Hoffman is probably in the top 10 all time for actors. This will be hard to beat, I think I will go look aroung the net a bit for something that compares.
Well Marlon Brando was in Island of Dr. Moreau right? tsk tsk
I will cry my eyes out and quit watching the Oscars when John Travolta wins Best Actor. Even though I loved him in Primary Colors... that's probably his only good movie imo.
Anyone see Ben Kingsley in Death and the Maiden? Jon Voight in Anaconda? And even though I crack up watching Road to Wellville, let's not forget that Anthony Hopkins was in it.

does it have to be actors I remember groaning the first time I saw Sally Fields on nick at night in The Flying Nun. I know doesnt meet the exact specs of what you asked for but I am sure that if you included TV you could find somemore turdbombs that famous actors were in.
Those movies are crap, I agree, but I don't think they compare to Ishtar. If you watch it again, when you finish, you will swear it's 4 hours long. At least in most of those other movies something actually happens. Anthony Hopkins in Hannibal was pretty crappy too, but Ishtar is in another level of crap.
Come on, Death and the Maiden wasn't that bad.

I actually haven't had the pleasure of seeing Ishtar, so you'll have to excuse my non-understanding of this level of crap you speak of. :)
Tom Hanks has been in some pretty ***** movies. Mazes and Monsters for instance.

I guess Death and the Maiden wasn't too bad, but I can't forgive him in Species. I know, probably yet another "not as bad as Ishtar" but I cannot STAND that movie.
It's almost worth seeing so you will know what 0 out of 5 is all about.
Ishtar--This is another of the "Honest, we're serious" films that flopped majorly. Despite a $45 million price tag, and the talent of two very fine actors in Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty, the film, quite simply, stank. How this was achieved is beyond the normal realm of comprehension. The story is unbelievable, the jokes poor, the script lousy, and the direction the worst kind of hamming. This kind of film makes one wonder about great actors' motives.

Jack Nicholson in "Wolf" or "The Pledge," perhaps?
They probably aren't as bad as Ishtar, but Jack's definitely a top-5 all time.

So do good actors, ever seen Alec Guiness's film credits?
A Director looses alot more points in my eyes for a bad film, I blame it on them since they have more control than the actor.
Solaris, just pissed me off. Excellent SciFi story, great book, and completely ****** as a movie.

I don't know if Gary Sinise is the best actor ever, but I enjoy him and I think that Imposter was one of the worst movies I ever had to sit through. I did it for him, but nothing could save that movie.

I kinda liked Imposter. But I think it's cause I like Phillip K. **** stories so I'm biased. As for Gary Sinise, he's going to be in CSI: New York. +_+
I also like Philip K. ****, one of the reasons I watched the stupid movie in the first place. I haven't read the story though, so I don't know if the story just stunk or if the movie was a bad adaptation. I enjoyed Do Androids Dream... a great deal but I've never been a huge fan of Blade Runner. I liked it, but not as much as some folks.

Actually I've never read any of the ones adapted into movies either. I can't remember which volume of his I have but it's got an illustration of the brown shoe that comes alive on the cover. (I'd go look but it's packed in a box somewhere) It wasn't THE best but still entertaining. Maybe I should just fess up and say that like his shtuff cause I used to watch Total Recall like once a day with my brother and cousins.

Aha! That's quite possibly worse than Ishtar.

Michael Cain in Jaws 3 (or was it 4?).
When asked about why he had been in so many bad films considering his acting worth, Michael Cain replied:
"I have a very high standard of living and it requires a very low standard of movie to maintain it"
