Which actor guarantees you buying a ticket or blind buying a DVD
 

Is there any one actor or actress that if you see them in a trailer, on a movie poster or a DVD boxcover, it almost guarantees you'll see the movie or buy the DVD?

I find I can pretty much watch Giovanni Ribisi in anything...he can often be the one good thing in a bad movie.

Another is Benicio Del Toro. Dax Shepard has been in some pretty shitty movies, but if I see his mug on a dvd cover, I'll probably still at least rent the DVD

edward norton

I go by directors mostly, but you have a point with Giovanni Ribisi he is usually pretty good.

Ed Norton? He's been in some questionable films as of late.

I'm not necessarily talking about favorite actors, but that one guy/gal that just seems to been good in bad movies, outstanding in good movies and just highly watchable in movies that wouldn't work without them...

Will Ferrel:thumbsup

I am in for any Adam Sandler movie.

Will Ferrell also will get me to see the movie. Even that piece of shit Bewitched.

William H Macey or Ed Harris. If you have either of these two in a movie then I feel am on solid ground buying/watching it

Yeah, two more guys who can usually guarantee me an interesting watch, especially Macy...he can play in most anything. I've liked in roles as diverse as Fargo, Mystery Men and Magnolia.

Ed norton I would go with

Yes. Macy is a great actor and is usually in very good movies.

Nikki Benz

Tom Hanks and Arnold Schwarzenegger are the only two.

Yup, or even if he's in a crap movie, he finds a way to shine through...

Marky Mark always gets my butt into the theatre.

Denzel Washington

I'd go by the director of the film... except if it's a new Woody Allen movie :Oh crap.

Robert DiNero or Al Pacino

Al Pacino for sure.

In a bygone era, I'd have said Robert Redford or Paul Newman.

Lately I'd hafta' say Ben Kingsley, Tom Hanks or Denzel Washington.

Probably Anthony Hopkins, too.

I'll watch anything that's been directed by Robert Rodriquez or Quentin Tarantino. OK, so I got burned on Spy Kids, but just about everything else those two have been involved in has been great.

As for actors, I can't think of anyone that will equal a guaranteed theater visit.

Johnny Depp for me.

I'd also have to go with Justin Long...

Joaquin Phoenix, John Malkovich, Al Pacino, Christian Bale

:thumbsup :thumbsup

He was great in 8mm and Gladiator.

yeah, great actor
I dug him in "Walk The Line" and "Parenthood" (back when he went by Leaf Phoenix) too

none.

I have actors and directors that would make more more inclined to pay - but none that would guarantee my patronage.

This guy does alright:

(he doesn't do many films for some reason)

Also concerning Edward Norton: Usually he is pretty good, but this was a waste of everyones time. :2 cents:

And he's going to be in the incredible hulk? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Norton wtf?

Or this wiki nonsense?

Joaquin Phoenix, and Ann Hathaway

Scarlett Johansson - haven´t seen anything bad with her

Liam Neeson, Johnny Depp, Kevin Spacey, Christian Bale, Al Pacino, Seymour Philip Hoffman
Sigourney Weaver, Cate Blanchett somewhat..

Brad Pitt with the exception of "The Mexican't"
