Then...who are the five whose movies you try to avoid?
Five to watch
George Clooney
Matt Damon
Morgan Freeman
Jack Nicholson
Robert Duval
Five actresses
Sandra Bullock
Elisabeth Shue
Holly Hunter
Angelina Jolie
Helen hunt
Five actors I avoid

declaration that even a bad actor makes at least one good movie. I've never seen a Dane Cook movie.

My "avoid" list would look the same as yours.
Five to watch:
Al Pacino
Paul Newman
Tom Hanks
Robert De Niro
Kevin Spacey
Women
Sandra Bullock
Cate Blanchett
Judi Dench
Annette Bening
Julianne Moore
The Men's "to watch" list is difficult to narrow down to 5.

Women:
Agree on Sandra Bullock

Jessica Chastain
Amy Adams
To avoid:
Most everyone else.

Never really thought about this but here's my list

at least with about 5 minutes of thought given:
Five actors to watch:
Clooney
Damon
Nicholson
Matthew McConaughey
Cruise/Will Smith
Five actresses to watch:
Olivia Wilde
Jennifer Lawrence
Meryl Streep
Rachel McAdams
Zoe Saldana
Five actors I avoid:
Old Pacino
Old Duval
Old De Niro
Old Sandler
Old Eddie Murphy
Five actresses I avoid:
Old Julia Roberts
Angelina Jolie
Barbra Streisand
Jenny McCarthy
Kristen Stewart/Anne Hathaway
I laughed at reading Rick Moranis on your list because he hasn't been an "actor" in 20 or so years. (I believe he quit to raise his kids after his wife died)
He must have really rubbed you the wrong way in his movies for you to still hold a grudge after 20 years.

Will Farrel did a fine job in 'Stranger Than Fiction.'

It' might have been his bestest onlyest good work though the actresses in that were the real stars. I like some of his comedys and The Candidate was one of the best.
