2. Robert De Niro
No. Of "Rotten" Movies: 43 When somebody asks you - off the top of your head - to name a great actor, chances are that the words "Robert De Niro" scroll through your mind before you finally declare your answer to be, of course, Owen Wilson. Just kidding (maybe). The point, though, is that Robert De Niro is often thought to be one of the best actors ever with an unrivalled filmography consisting of some of the best and most acclaimed pictures ever made. And yet... 43 "Rotten" films, people. 43. One more time, in letters, in case you didn't register with you: forty-three. For most actors, that's an entire career. For De Niro, that makes up just half of his canon. What has happened here? How did the star of Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas wind up with 42 "Rotten" movies in and amongst his filmography? Blame the last 15 years: he made 30 of those suckers in that period alone. Time to retire, Bobby.
