Thread: The B-List Disease

Meg Ryan Jennifer Aniston Eddie Murphy (when was the last time he was in something good?) ... These are the only ones I can think of right now. Meg Ryan especially. "The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living." --Marcus Tullius Cicero

from A-B Watched Cuba Gooding Jr in a movie last week called linewatch (2008) . Formula Mex/USA border crime thriller with Gooding Jr as a cop. what else.

Cuba Gooding Jr is also the star of another straight to dvd movie called 'Hardwired', co-starring Val Kilmer.

Every single one of them does it sooner or later. Some climb back to the A-list, most don't. I really can't think of anybody who went out on the A-list unless, like Heath Ledger, they died.

Some of them are pretty close to this list, but most of them are already there. I add also some not so big names. Daryl Hannah Sharon Stone Whoopi Goldberg Heather Graham Monica Potter Mira Sorvino Leelee Sobieski Claire Forlani Brittany Murphy Ray Liotta Edward Burns Antonio Banderas James Caviezel Kip Pardue Stephen Dorff Matthew Modine Freddie Prinze Jr

There's Mickey Rourke who went from A to B to A. And it's that Wesley Snipes doing infomercials?

Mickey Rourke went from C to A+++ . A once in a lifetime performance, but he did it.

Yeah, he seems to be a hot commodity, which is cool because he was nine shades of awesome in the 80's. You could say Burt Reynolds for his "comeback" in Boogie Nights. Prior to that, he seemed tied down to generic action dreck. His would be more like A, B, A, B.

i wonder if you could callmickey rourke a-list. look at killshot, went straight to dvd. and the movies (apart from the wrestler) he has been in recently are mostly supporting roles. id love to see him stick with good character parts instead of becoming an action hero in crappy blockbusters.
