I am going with John Philbin's performance in the 1987 movie "North Shore". Has anyone seen this??? It was on HBOFam last night and the entire movie was so cheesy-bad it was like watching a 1.5 hr train wreck. Every scene he is was in though made me feel extremely awkward. There was nothing even remotely "natural" about his performance...from his constant mouthbreathing and bizarre body movements and mannerisms, to his completely butchered "local" accent, to his dialogue (which isn't entirely his fault to be fair). This movie is so bad, it is highly entertaining and worth checking out. John Philbin steals the show though...





This guy may be a close second (from the same movie)...



What are some other ones???

The entire "Mission to Mars" movie.

We we full Mystery Science Theater watching that movie.

Was that the one with the crying alien in the end? If so...then yes, that was a huge waste of my time.

Tom Green in pretty much anything he's ever been in
Adam Sandler in Jack and Jill
Ben Affleck and JLO in Gigli

Keanu Reeves.

Yep. Hilariously bad. We were literally busting out laughing at the "My God, that's it" scene.

That'sIt

The kid almost ruined Gran Torino for me. Not the worst acting I've ever seen, but definitely the biggest disparity I've ever seen between level of acting and quality of movie I can think of.

You can pick from just about any Steven Seagal movie.... but "On Deadly Ground" does as good as any at showing just how bad an actor he is!

Perfect summary. It's weird to love a movie yet cringe at half the scenes.

I was so distracted by Gary Sinise's hair piece and eyebrows I couldn't tell you how good or bad that movie was.

I had some "surfer" friends from Corpus that LOVED North Shore.

You better shut your face, Chipotle.

The Room is a CLASSIC. Tommy Wiseau is a SAINT

How could I forget about this? Bless that kid's heart, but not sure how they could have cast him. His big sis was better, but not by much. The scene where he tries to onvince us he's angry/spazzing out when Walt locks him in the basement really is cringe worthy.

I love Prince of Thieves.

Easy on the eyes. Cringy on the teeth.

Was looking for this response before posting. Found it!

The CIA guy at the beginning of Dark Knight Rises made me wince(airplane scene). Nowhere close to the worst of all time, just bad acting.

Aidan Gillen is his name.

I watched After Earth the other day. Thought Will Smith's son's acting was piss poor.

He's phenomenal in Game of Thrones. But I don't remember TDKR enough to agree or disagree with you.
