30. He's brilliant in it.
He's also won a Golden Globe and SAG award. And he's nominated for an Oscar.

With that said, I've seen previews for a seriously unfunny-looking movie where he plays a white guy and an overweight older woman. It's called Norbit or Norbert or something.

Or it's alternate title: "Julia Roberts stars in 'The Girls of Summer'"
I saw it pitched exactly like that on some TNT-esque station many years ago, but I wasn't buying it - I could smell a retitled "Satisfaction" a mile away.

11. Noooooo, not Canadian Bacon!
I like that movie.

And, it'll be a training film for the troops when * thinks Canada is getting WMD or the Bomb. It's not easy discerning the civilians from the combatants when they're all so damned nice!

14. Agreed..."Canadian Bacon" was a classic...
I especially love the scene where they get pulled over by the Mountie and ticketed because their anti-Canadian graffiti isn't in both English and French. :rofl:

After all, Candy is dead. It would be tough for him to work up a desire of any kind.

33. Al Pacino - Cruisin'
Cruisin' is the ultimate broadbrush. A mediocre plot, bad use of lighting and awash with the worst stereotypes regarding all characters involved, gay or straight.

50. two posthumously
Richard Burton - Exorcist II: The Heretic
Raul Julia - Street Fighter

Even worse they were the last movies they were in, so the obituaries focused on that the most. Let that be a lesson. Don't take any bad parts or it may be your last and what you'll be remembered for.

52. Sly Stallone's first pic was porn.
Your opinion of porn aside, some actors who have had bare beginnings often regret their choices later on, when the pictures come back to cash in on their new-founded fame. Personally, I could care less, it was his choice, but I'm certainly not looking for a copy of it on the shelf of my local Blockbuster Video.

This is the source I'm citing:
