Tom Hanks has been in lots of films that were very good, just not as good as so many people think - Apollo 13, Saving Private Ryan, that one where Leonardo Dicaprio plays a brilliant forger, to name three that come to mind.

Will Ferrell is good in the one where he hears Emma Thompson narrating his life. That's a good film overall. Too bad I can't recall the title.

Catch Me If You Can

edit: is the Leonardo di Caprio one. The Emma Thompson one is Stranger Than Fiction.

Which was kind of fun, in spite of the dire Hanks.

I wish to nominate Jim Carrey.

I can't stand Saving Private Ryan after the opening sequence. Spielberg at his most nauseating (AI apart).

I think the opening sequence just makes the following hour of sickly jingoistic crap even worse.

The most romantic dialogue I've ever heard in a movie involved Nicolas Cage, in Valley Girl, and he was a decent romantic lead in It Could Happen to You. 8MM, though--I felt like I needed to wash my brain out afterward.
