Name some actors whose inclusion in a film either draws/encourages you to watch a film or discourages/repels you?!

[Calmomiletea]

Just as I've put in the title!

Here are some of mine:

Draw: Ralph Fiennes, Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster

Repel: Nicholas Cage, Tom Cruise, Meryl streep, Tom Hanks.

Drawn to Isabelle Huppert, Paula Beer and Vincent Cassel.

Finally someone I totally agree with!

Draw, controversial ones first!
Olivia Coleman
Nicholas Cage (shut up I love him)
Keira Knightly
Ralph Fiennes
Gillian Anderson
Toni Collette

Repel, can't think of many but got sick of Pedro Pascal.

Draws - Tom Hanks, Leonardo de Caprio, Denzel Washington, Audrey Hepburn, Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, The Rock, Reese Witherspoon, Hugh Grant

Draw - Robert de Niro
Denzel Washington
Tommy Lee jones
Anthony Hopkins
Bette Davis
Al Pacino
Jodie Foster

Repel
Tom Cruise
Diane Keaton
Cate Blanchett
Will Smith

Draw: Sam Neil, Timothy Spall, Penelope Wilton, Harriet Walter, Reese Witherspoon, Cate Blanchett, Kate Winslet.

Repel: Adam Sandler, Ricky Gervais, Martin Freeman, Tom Cruise, Sacha Baron Cohen.

Draws: Toni Collette, Daniel day Lewis, Christian Bale
Repels: Ryan Reynolds (I have never ever understood the fuss about him) and Chris Pratt.

I would watch diarrhoea being smeared on a wall if Tom Hanks was in it! He's utter perfection.

Draw: Lesley Manville

Repel: Daniel Day Lewis

But totally loved Phantom Thread! And now add Vicky Krieps to the draw list.

Draw: James Mason, always.
Draw: Rachel Weisz.

Draw Jason Watkins. Timothy Spall Emily Blunt. Juliet Stevenson

Repel Nicole Kidman and her frozen face.

I think the only thing I've seen Pedro Pascal in is the new bad Gladiator. He wasn't very good and he isn't handsome. Obviously, I would never say such a thing in real life because everyone seems to love him.

Draw: Goldie Hawn, Gene Hackman, Alec Baldwin.

Am I getting old ? 🤔

Check out GA new film The Salt Path, she’s brilliant

Have you seen "Blow"? Great film based on true events and Johnny Depp is great in it.

Why does Tom Cruise repel so many? His acting or the Scientology?
Someone said his treatment of his wives.

It's all 3 for me.

Draw - Kristin Scott Thomas, Gillian Anderson, Cillian Murphy, Matthew Rhys, Toby Jones, Ruth Wilson, Toby Stephens.
Repel - Keira Knightly, Nicole Kidman, Eddie Redmayne, Johnny Depp, Emma Watson, Emma Stone.

Draw: Maggie Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis, Bill Pullman, Juliette Binoche, Robert Di Niro, Imelda Staunton

Repel: Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Kate Winslet, any singers who turn their hand to acting.

Repel
Keira Knightley, Timothee Chamolet

I LOVE him in interview with the vampire. and…. that’s it. 🤣 He’s just so samey and ego. But in that film he seemed to let loose

Lots of draws.
Anything with Mickey Rourke in repels me. Even from his early days before all of the surgery.

Johnny depp.

I'm very drawn to Jon Hamm. He should be in more

Poor Keira. I also came on just to say her. She is so terrible with that one constipated face. Sad

Also Adam Sandler (idiot, offensive), Sasha Baron Cohen (banal, often offensive). Eddie Redmayne (skin crawling awful)
