I think the only Tom Cruise movie I can watch and still enjoy is
Risky Business.
And with Mel Gibson (who I didn't list, but who I also don't watch anymore), I can still watch
Chicken Run
and
Signs
(which I have a strange fondness for, and he's very un-Mel Gibson in it).
I don't know why Costner never bothered me. I never followed much about his personal life, and after
Waterworld
and
The Postman,
I felt sort of sorry for him. I still love
Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, The Untouchables,
and
A Perfect World.
I think Chicken Run is the only Gibson thing I can abide - I don't have to look at his face, so it is all good. And I used to adore him, so it really sucks.
Chicken Run
is also the only thing I can really watch/listen to Gibson in anymore.
I'm not sure if I can watch Johnny Depp in anything anymore. I want to be able to watch those movies - the first three PotC, Edward Scissorhands, Sweeney Todd. But I don't know, and I haven't tried yet.
I can still watch Johnny Depp's early stuff. It seems disconnected from him now? I don't know.
I used to love
Braveheart.
But between Gibson and the many ways it's been parodied, I don't think I could anymore.
Chocolat!
I'm going to try watching again soon--it's one of my Halloween season movies, and I've not been able to watch it for a while. But I'ma concentrate on Dench and Binoche, Molina and Moss, Stormare, Olin, Caron, and the gorgeous amazing architecture and try and dissociate role from player.
Jennifer Jason Leigh, who is always playing her characters broken soul, no matter who the character is and whether it makes any actual sense to do so.

I'm still able to watch Tim Burton's early work with Depp, and I pretend their recent work is being made by other people with eerily similar names.
I don't know if I have any strict Do Not Watch people. I have aversions but I'm not really consistent with them.
I really liked Stallone in Oscar.
On a completely different note - I kinda want to see Happy Death Day. Groundhog Day + slasher movie just seems like a good idea.
Stephen Thompson on Pop Culture Happy Hour liked it!
It does look fun. In the gruesome way.
Today was so killer at the bakery, I'm queuing up schlocky horror and putting my feet up for the rest of the night.
