Movies we love, with stars we hate

I know that most people don't agree with me, but I'm not a fan of Tom Cruise. In fact, I find him rather annoying most of the time, but I just finished watching Edge of Tomorrow, and I loved it. I wasn't really planning to watch it but it sounded like a really good premise, it's been getting great reviews, and hubby wanted to see it, so everything just seemed to be pushing me to see it.

But it made me curious about this. Most people have some actors who they hate, and they try to avoid any movies with those actors, but sometimes you just end up seeing them anyway.

Have you ever seen a movie that you loved with an actor that you hate?

Singin in the Rain...great film but I don't care for Debbie Reynolds.
Usually she strikes me as condescending in her films, with a looking down her noise attitude.

But there is no actor I 'hate' just some that I don't care for on screen.

Two that jump to mind: The Departed (Marky Mark, Matt Damon, Alec Baldwin) and Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl (Orlando Bloom).

I quite liked that movie, haven't thought about it in a long time.

I mentioned this in another thread, but Peggy Sue Got Married with Nicholas Cage.

Also, Stranger than Fiction with Will Farrel (also Megamind, but he seems to be more consistant with his voice-over work, so this, to me, is less surprising).

The only actor off the top of my head that i actually dislike is Ryan Reynolds, and there's not one movie that i like with him in it.

Assuming you've seen Blue Valentine... how could you not love that? That movie tore me up man. He was also the best part of (an admittedly flawed) Place Beyond the Pines. He was the perfect figure for Drive. What don't you like about him?

Mark Walhberg in The Lone Survivor

Good Will Hunting would be perfect without Ben Affleck...

You are getting Ryan Reynolds confused with Ryan Gosling. Gosling was in Crazy Stupid Love, Murder by Numbers, Blue Valentine and Place Beyond the Pines. Reynolds was in Buried, Just Friends, The Proposal, Green Lantern, Safe House, and The Amityville Horror.

Love them both, but I love Ryan Reynolds more. Probably just because he's better looking

I love The Talented Mr. Ripley despite the presence of Gwyneth Paltrow, who I can't stand.

Not a fan of Russell Crowe but he's done some good movies, including The Insider, Gladiator, American Gangster.

I love Donnie Darko even though Drew Barrymore is a significant presence in the film

I can't figure out the Multi-Quote feature, so I'll do it the hard way:


"I love The Talented Mr. Ripley despite the presence of Gwyneth Paltrow, who I can't stand."

I like Gwyneth Paltrow



"Not a fan of Russell Crowe but he's done some good movies..."

Russell 'Mr Mumbles' Crowe, I don't like him either.



"I love Donnie Darko even though Drew Barrymore is a significant presence in the film"

I like Drew, I liked Donnie Darko...but she wasn't a good choice for that film.
