10. Drew Barrymore - Donnie Darko
Drew Barrymore is the kind of actress who makes it hard for you to accept her as individual characters in general, so when she suddenly appears about 20 minutes into Richard Kelly's seminal sci-fi flick
Donnie Darko as a sardonic English teacher (and was the only star in the whole movie with any name recognition at this point in time), it just seems really, really weird to see her there. Granted, she helped get the movie made in the first place, but do we need to see her? I don't know whether it's because Barrymore only really has a singular "acting setting," one that is perhaps best-described as "playing Drew Barrymore again in this movie as well," or the fact that she's the only Hollywood superstar admist a cast of relatively unknown and obscure actors (nobody really knew the Gyllenhaals back in 2001, remember), but she's the only actor in the movie who doesn't like a natural addition to Kelly's world. Her scenes are the only ones that pull you right outta the story, in fact.
