Maybe there's a sucky movie that I haven't seen, but from those I've seen I liked.

So, am I correct in thinking Kevin Spacey wasn't in a bad movie?

"The Ref" was mediocre, and while "Iron Will" was a Disney movie, it wasn't too bad. Looking at your list, I'd have to say no.

I just saw See no Evil, Hear no Evil the other day on comedy central and Spacey had a huge growth on his upper cheek area. It was gross, he must have had it operated on or something. And... I don't think that movie is too great, but it's probably not bad either.

He directed Albino Alligator but I don't think he made an appearance. Though not great, it wouldn't qualify as a bad movie anyway.

So Kpax was good? I never saw it but thought it sucked because it was in the cheap theaters quickly.

Kevin Spacey is an excellent movie. I still marvel at American Beauty.

Kevin and "Jack" are my favorite actors.

I don't see the appeal of American Beauty. Personally I think it sucked.

But as for Spacey, he is truly amazing. After American Beauty he made The Big Kahuna, a 10 times better movie in my expert opinion ;)

Swimming with Sharks was really enjoyable in my opinion. I've only ever seen it on HBO, but I did like it.

Gasp!!! The horror that is posted in these forums... good heavens! That movie is a modern masterpiece... watch it again. It's should be on everyone's top 5 or top 10 list. The movie is amazing.

I'll have to agree...

Some guy who likes a young girl and his daughter likes a weird kid whose dad is gay?

Wow, sounds like a soap opera. :confused:

Same here. I thought that had to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

But other then that I like him and think he is a good actor

I really liked American Beauty. The whole idea of the movie was the irony of suburban life. I thought it made some good points. It also had Kevin Spacey in it, so +100 points for greatness :)

I agree somewhat. I don't see the overall appeal but I don't think it sucked. It was a mediocre introspection into the craziness that hides amongst suburban life, with shades of David Lynch thrown in, but it wasn't a bad movie.

On the whole though, most Spacey movies are worth the price of admission.
