    Another Twilight clone. Yawn.

    DirectorsAlbert HughesAllen HughesStarsDenzel WashingtonMila KunisRay Stevenson
    It wasn't a BAD movie (actually, it becomes quite awesome when they run into Michael Gabon's character), but I still think Gary was saddly underused on it.
  • Jim Carrey in A Christmas Carol (2009)

    3. A Christmas Carol

    DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsJim CarreyGary OldmanColin Firth
    Sadly, this movie has been done a zillion times before, and this version was a waste of time.

    DirectorDavid S. GoyerStarsOdette AnnableGary OldmanCam Gigandet
    I hated this movie so much, it was boring, not scary at all and stupid. Oldman's WORST performance and an altogether disgrace to humanity. Good poster though.
  • Patricia Arquette, Matthew McConaughey, Gary Oldman, and Kate Beckinsale in Tiptoes (2002)

    5. Tiptoes

    The story of a peculiar love triangle involving two brothers.
    DirectorMatthew BrightStarsGary OldmanPeter DinklageKate Beckinsale
    Uh, another awful movie, an incredibly stupid one too. But Oldman's performance is so good that you sometimes forget that everything is so retarded.
  • Anthony Hopkins in Hannibal (2001)

    6. Hannibal

    20012h 11mR57Metascore

    DirectorRidley ScottStarsAnthony HopkinsJulianne MooreGary Oldman
    Didn't know Mason Verger was Oldman till long time had passed since I first saw this. Not a bad performance, but a terrible movie nonetheless.
  • Gary Oldman, Mimi Rogers, Lacey Chabert, William Hurt, Heather Graham, Matt LeBlanc, and Jack Johnson in Lost in Space (1998)

    The Robinson family was going into space to fight for a chance for humanity. Now they are fighting to live long enough to find a way home.
    DirectorStephen HopkinsStarsGary OldmanWilliam HurtMatt LeBlanc
    I just wanted to punch Joey's face over and over again. Ok, maybe the twist wasn't predictable, but only because it ended up being so retarded that guessing it would mean you had a severely head injury.
  • Harrison Ford in Air Force One (1997)

    8. Air Force One

    19972h 4mR62Metascore
    6.5 (219K)

    DirectorWolfgang PetersenStarsHarrison FordGary OldmanGlenn Close
    Nice movie, I specially liked Glenn Close' VP character and Gary did fine. But it was like the epitome of cliche action flicks.
  • Demi Moore and Gary Oldman in The Scarlet Letter (1995)

    9. The Scarlet Letter

    5.3 (17K)
    An affair between a young woman and a pastor has disastrous consequences.
    DirectorRoland JofféStarsDemi MooreGary OldmanRobert Duvall
    This film was soul-crushing. Not only was it a disgrace to Gary Oldman and Robert Duvall, but also to a wonderful source material.
