James McAvoy for me. X-Men first Class, Split, Speak No Evil, even Victor Frankenstein. If MCavoy's name is attached to it, I'm probably going to see it. Charlize Theron is next. Mad Max: Fury road, Monster, and Kubo. Old guard... she acted her heart out, but it was okay in the end. (First post)
My mom's answer would be Walton Goggins, but I'd have to agree cause man that guy can change characters of a dime. From his crazy almost feral killer character from American Ultra, to his character from The Unicorn, to Vice Principals, to Fallout, the guy is damn near a chameleon.
These days, it's Alan Tudyk for me. For movies and tv shows.
He has been in some of the most bizarre and ridiculous concepts, but he still always makes them a delight to watch, even as a supporting character.
I haven't been disappointed yet, even if it's bound to happen eventually.
Tilda Swinton
Olivia Colman
Elizabeth Olsen.
Christoph Waltz
My teeth are also kinda janky, so this is probably one of my favorite videos by anyone ever. I love the "your teeth are air-cooled" line too.
David Duchovny
Willem Dafoe
Giovanni Ribisi
Dunno why
Jason Statham
James mcavoy is a good call. I’d add Gary Oldman, Cate Blanchett, Judy dench, Adam Scott, Nathan Lane, Tim Roth, Saoirse Ronan, Brendan Gleason, Sharon Horgan. Used to be Robert DeNiro, ed Norton, Tina Fey. Hopeful up and comers. Sydney Sweeney, Anna Kendrick, Anna Camp, Christin milioti
Felicity Jones and Rachel McAdams. Either of those two are in something and it's an immediate watch for me. Odds are in their favor it's going to be decent if they signed on for it, and their acting abilities are top notch for me
Jon Bernthal, of late. I first saw him in the Walking Dead where I kind of hated him, but then saw him in a couple other things (especially Punisher) and realized what a good actor he is. That's happened a few times actually, I really hated Brad Pitt in Se7en (that wasn't wrath, that was a fucking bad hair day), but then saw him in 12 Monkeys and was like 'Oh wait'.
Have you watched The Bear!? I "hated" Jon Bernthal until I saw him in The Bear, and he won me over through sheer goddamn chops. Man.
I'll be intrigued if any of these are in the cast.
But they've all been cast in plenty of films films I don't care about (e.g. Hopkins in Transformers and Thor, Murray in Garfield and Jungle Book) so it's not even remotely a guarantee.
Mia goth, she's in a bunch of a24 stuff and if she's in it you know shits about to be get weird. Which is my jam
Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron. Also just learned who she is but I'm definitly a Florence Pugh fan now.
Ed Norton is an automatic sign that even if the movie sucks, it'll be worth watching once just for his performance.
Tom Hanks, maybe. I used to say "he's never done a bad movie" but then I saw his WWII movie that aired on AppleTV
-I don't know if any actors are good enough to pull me in like that. There are however, a couple of major directors that guarantee I am going to the theatre. Guillermo Del Toro is probably the most likely one that comes to mind. Ridley Scott and James Cameron are likely to get me in the theatre as well.

Really? I fucking loved Greyhound. It's like they surgically removed every boring movie trope they could find to leave just the best bits.
Gene Hackman. DeNiro. Pacino. J.T. Walsh. James Cromwell. J.K Simmons. Many more I can't remember.
I would've never expected to say this 17 years ago (don't linger on that detail too long), but Robert Pattinson
Dude, seriously. For the longest time I only knew him as the vampire in Twilight (which I'd never even seen) and wrote him off immediately. Then I saw him in High Life and was like 'Oh wait a minute, this guy is pretty good actually'. I even liked him in Batman. I'm glad he's outgrowing his Twilight association.
If you've never watched The Rover, I would highly recommend it. Guy Pearce is excellent in it, but Pattinson's performance really hit home that he can truly act.
I did. I'll have to check, but I think I've seen a fair amount of his post-twilight films. Like Radcliffe, he generally picks interesting projects, if nothing else
Cosmopolis, Good Time, High Life, and ofc The Lighthouse being some of them
Edit: spelling
Yeah High Life was a mad film, but he was great again.
Ah, the stigma and hatred around newly released fantasy romcoms targeted to women. Also the reinvention of the vampire that most people would probably wish had stayed in an obscure YA novel rather than become cinematic history.
I was always team Wolf but I developed an interest in real vampire culture because of Twilight.
Did you ever watch Remember Me? Part of me wishes I hadn't. The unnecessary end hits like a wrecking ball
I liked Twilight 2, actually. Just happened to see it in the right moment that it worked for me. Never watched the rest of the series though
Scarlet was great in Jojo Rabbit.
I now realize I left out the amazing actresses from my list. Thank you.
There's are a few others. That don't come to mind right now.
None, good actors can't make bad films good.
Used to be Robin Williams for me.
