The worst performance in a good movie has got to be Andie Macdowell in Four Weddings and a Funeral, surely? Truly excruciating acting, it's mind-boggling how the film-makers apparently didn't notice...

Shelly Duvall isn't very impressive in The Shining.

It has to be Quentin Tarantino in Pulp Fiction. Everyone is on the best form of their careers and then along comes QT. It is the same story in Reservoir Dogs and although Death Proof is awful already the scene with Tarantino and Eli Roth makes it even worse. Let’s hope he can resist casting himself in Django Unchained.

Quentin Tarantino's appearance as Jimmy in Pulp Fiction. The scene in which Jules and Vincent store the car at Jimmy's house is fantastically funny, with a fabulously suave cameo by Harvey Keitel. But, quite ironicallly I feel, I can't stand Tarantino's cringe inducing delivery of his OWN lines. Lets face it, in terms of starring in his own films, Quentin's no Martin Scorsese in Taxi Driver...
Movie's still a classic though.
