Look, I love me some Jason Statham being overly British and kicking ass for upward two hours while barely making a face, so I'm going to say Jason Statham.
Have you seen the beekeeper? Terrible film.
I’m constantly astounded that people seem to unironically enjoy that movie. I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade so I stay away from discussions about it, but I saw it in theaters (because I also love Jason Statham) and immediately regretted it. It felt like it was written as a joke, but then tried to take itself seriously, and failed at both. I feel like I’m getting pranked by people saying they like that movie.

I mean... It depends what you consider a bad film.
IMO, Raul Julia hasn't been in a single bad movie. And, yes, I have seen Overdrawn at the Memory Bank.
Leonardo DiCaprio?
Churning out good movies since he was a kid.
Is there a really bad movie with him?
The Beach is notoriously bad
The Beach was just too weird for the Titanic fans. It was right in the wheelhouse for Danny Boyle fans at the time.
Of course the book was better, but I really enjoyed the movie for what it was.
Titanic was a hit, but in retrospect, horribly overrated and IMHO absolutely cliche, disrespectful, sacrilegious garbage.
I'm sorry but... Most of them? Especially since it's his performance that has become poor. He is playing himself more and more. A similar thing happened to Johnny Depp. Look at both of them in What's Eating Gilbert Grape and then at stuff like Great Gatsby, Wolf of Wall Street, Shutter's Island, Django / Willy Wonka, Pirates of the Carribean, Shadows, Transcendence. The acting and characters are so similar and they don't give an effort anymore (or try to, and absolutely overdo it).
(Sorry I somehow incorporated a Johnny Depp rant in a critic of DiCaprio, their story of decline is just too similar to me. And Gilbert Grape is an amazing movie.)

James Dean. Credited in only 3 films (appeared in a few more as an extra):
- East of Eden
- Rebel Without a Cause
- Giant
All 3 are above average on IMDb (> 7).
Tom Hanks.
I've never seen a bad Tom Hanks movie.
He is in this abomination of a book adaptation for Incredibly loud and extremely close.
I actually kinda liked it and btw it was nominated for best picture
Elvis. Sully. There's two right off the top of my head.
Fuck the film Sully for dragging the NTSB through the mud for fake drama. Absolute fucking hack writing that disrespects heroes of safety.

Helge Schneider maybe?
He doesn't even like most of his own movies. Dude has no taste it seems.
michelle yeoh, she was the only part of STD that was watchable. she has her niche films though.
lol EEAAO is not for everyone
I'm not a huge fan of Tom Cruise and also never watched the MI franchise, but otherwise he knows how to pick good scripts... Last Samurai, Vanilla Sky, Tropic Thunder, Minority Report, Top Gun, Rain man, Edge of Tomorrow, The Firm. There are still a bunch I never saw so there may be some rotten tomatoes in the basket
He DOES have some bad movies, but not many. I really don't like the guy either, but I like a lot of his movies. You forgot Oblivion and Jerry Maguire for instance.
Agree he had a very high hit rate, and personal life aside, I enjoy most of his movies.
But MI:2 and MI:3 are mediocre at best, and Knight and Day and Rock of Ages were massive flops (I haven't seen either, but i they look horrible). Cocktail earned him a razzie nomination.
Eyes Wide Shut. What a piece of crap.
Don't forget The Mummy remake, it was so bad they cancelled the Dark Universe because of it.
""Kurtzman called the experience “brutal” and described The Mummy as “probably the biggest failure” of his life.""
Ah, I've even seen that one! Good call
Knight and Day is 100% forgettable straight to streaming crap.
But Rock of Ages was as good as it could’ve been

I like pretty much anything Fred Ward was in. Remo Williams will never die
Miami Blues was such a treat.

Is there a bad Tom Hanks movie? I think maybe Joe Vs The Volcano comes closest, but I still enjoyed it.
i am honestly struggling to think of a good movie that man is in, mediocre and pandering are the two words i would use to describe.
The burbs. Great movie!
Saving Private Ryan is at least "very good" if not one of the greatest war movies of all time.
And The Burbs is classic 80s screwball comedy simmered to perfection (even if it isn't a 'high art ' genre)
Plus Saving Private Ryan directly allowed him to make Band of Brothers which is easily one of the best wat shows of all time.
The Man With One Red Shoe is much worse than Joe Versus the Volcano. And if made for TV movies count, you have to throw in Mazes and Monsters. Oh and Bonfire of the Vanities was a famous flop. And Volunteers was pretty bad. People forget how bad some of his early stuff was.
Hell, both Forrest Gump and Castaway were tremendously overrated. Also the unwatchable Cloud Atlas and the stupid Dan Brown movies.
Tbh I struggle to come up with an actual good and not just mediocre movie that Tom Hanks was in.
Adding to the trash list: Incredibly loud and extremely close. They massacred the book.
