Have a look at Michael Caine's filmography. It's loaded down with shit. I think that the fact he's been in so much crap has really hurt his reputation, and denied him the respect he really needs. Luckily for him, The Cider House Rules did help out, but I think it's damage he'll never quite get over.
You forgot The Quiet American. Thats the one that got him an Academy Award nomination, wasn't it?
I read an interview where he said bascially that actings just a job and he doesnt give a damn what people think. Good for him.
I'm convinced they all did those movies just so they could run around living out thier 10-year old kid fantasies. I mean, every one of those actors is successful anyhow. They did it for kicks (and to drive the Batmobile).
while I most certainly agree with your other choices, I'm going to have to disagree with this one. I wouldn't necessarily say Winslet was "slumming" it when she did this movie. Maybe this flick isn't "cool" like Eternal Sunshine (which I loved), but it's not mind-bogglingly atrocious.

Right, starring in the top-grossing movie of all time is hardly slumming it.
