Tom Cruise, and Sarah Silverman, weirdly.
Xander: I do have Spaghetti-os. Set 'em on top of the dryer and you're a fluff cycle away from lukewarm goodness. Riley: I, uh, had dryer-food for lunch.

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson. Except I watched Chicken Run with my nephew the other day and Gibson as a rooster is tolerable.
Kevin Costner would be another. I'm sure there are other but I don't watch a lot of movies

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Tom Cruise, with an exception made for Interview with the Vampire.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Gibson, surely. William Hurt, Michael Fassbender (which can be a problem for me because I love McAvoy, and he's often pictured with MF), Woody Allen and anyone who supports him, anyone who supports Roman Polanski. Known abusers a glimpse of whom turn my stomach and take me out of any fictional narrative.
Cruise for different reasons, and an emphatic negative reaction to Costner.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Adam Sandler used to be on mine, but I just watched The Meyerowitz Stories on Netflix and Sandler is really fucking great in it. He should quit writing/directing/producing his own "comedic" material and just let people he trusts with discerning tastes pick good roles for him. The dude can ACT.
Love him in Punch Drunk Love and not much else. Didn't know Meyerowitz was on Netflix! I will check it out.
Kevin Costner would be another.
Even Bull Durham?
Tom Cruise
I want to see Edge of Tomorrow though.
Jim Carrey.
Not even Eternal Sunshine? Or especially because of it?

re: Jim Carrey, I like The Mask, but really only for the dance scenes.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Jim Carrey.
Not even Eternal Sunshine? Or especially because of it?
I tolerated him in Eternal Sunshine, but my hatred was keeping me warm. I just can't stand his stupid face. Seriously. It's irrational as hell, but I hate his face and those stupid leers.
I want to see Edge of Tomorrow though.
It's SUPER good. It's basically the first 2 episodes of this season of The Good Place, but with killer aliens. And Tom Cruise as Eleanor Shellstrop. (Actually, that's pretty much EXACTLY what it's like. He really is Eleanor.)

Many of the actors mentioned are on my Do Not Watch list, but almost everyone has an exception movie or two. Movies I fell in love with in spite of said person. I think Mel Gibson and Woody Allen are my only full stop people.
I do surprise myself with the number of exceptions I allow Adam Sandler. Cause, face value, I'd say I'm not a fan. But there are at least a handful of his movies I'll happily watch.

I'm not a fan of Adam Sandler, but he's not a dealbreaker for me. I just don't seek out his movies because they seem to be (in general) really stupid overall, not just his role in them.
And I do love me some stupid movies. (See also: Dude, Where's My Car? and Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo. [Seriously, Deuce Bigalow has a surprising underlying sweetness. Go figure.])

I've never seen Bull Durham. I can't remember why I hadn't seen it and then I started to dislike Kevin Costner and so I didn't bother.
My only Costner exception is Silverado and he's barely in it.
Woody Allen movies were never my thing either but he's on the list.
