They used to show it every Saturday night at midnight at a theater near campus when I was in college.

She was pretty good in Bull Durham too.

But, it is typically the very very RW actors that I find difficult--not necessarily just Republicans, like Clint Eastwood or Bruce Willis, but those who have become sickening Trump sycophants (like Jon Voight )


Actresses who have gone full Trump admittedly bug me more and I'm not sure I will watch any of them.

The Year of Living Dangerously and Gallipoli are a couple of my all-time favorite movies, made in the early '80s. Since then he's gone completely nuts, and now seems to be an asshole as well as a lunatic. I haven't seen any of his movies since he did the Jesus one.

politics or amoral behavior.

Also, like to add Adam Sandler, loved him on SNL and enjoyed his first few movies. Now with at least a decade of awful movies under his belt. I'm embarrassed I laughed at any of his performance on SNL.

Got tired of her years ago. Seemed like every other movie trailer I saw was for a movie that she was in. I don't think that she's a bad actress but I don't think she's good or interesting enough of one to warrant her being cast in so many movies. These days I will pass on any movie I see her name on. Enough already.

...not for anything personal about him, though he was a little icky. I just find the whole schtick--the Tramp, and his so obviously striving for Profundity--a turn-off. Give me Keaton and Lloyd any day...

I can still watch his early movies. His later movies are crap, him trying to be Bergman, De Sica, Godard and more.

I dislike her mostly as a talk show panelist. There seems to be no consistency of any kind in her opinions. AKA off the wall.

It makes me wonder if she has ever formulated a world view.

Most of the ones with horrid polities tend to be terrible actors.

Added on edit Tim Allen - Scott Baio - Jon Voight

He is a perfect example.of that no expression acting that some seem to see as stoic.

I really don't mind watching someone who is a good actor even if they have views I find repulsive.

Mel Gibson for one.

The politics of Susan Sarandon grates on me of the past few years. But I still love her movies.

Interesting with her, I have met both her and a character she played in Dead Men Walking, Sister Helen Prejean.

I used to really dislike Shia LaBeouf for his pretentious bad acting, but he has improved remarkably the last couple of projects.

He is apparently a horrible person, but there you go.
