10 Disastrous Movies That Actors And Directors Still Haven't Recovered From

10. Eddie Murphy - Norbit

Eddie Murphy might finally be on the comeback trail following his tour-de-force performance in the phenomenal Dolemite Is My Name, but he's still got a long way to go to recapture his former standing in the industry.

No stranger to either terrible movies or box office bombs, the actor had suffered his fair share over the years, but it was Norbit that marked his rapid decline into obscurity. The movie was so awful that many believed that it torpedoed his chance of winning an Oscar for his supporting role in Dreamgirls, which had been released just weeks earlier.

For some reason Norbit may have been a hit, and his voice role in Shrek kept him in the public consciousness, but his next three star vehicles Meet Dave, Imagine That and A Thousand Words all tanked at the box office and were savaged by critics, reducing him to just two big screen appearances in the last eight years.
