10 Great Actors With Over 30 "Rotten" Movies On Rotten Tomatoes
5. Harvey Keitel
No. Of "Rotten" Movies: 36 Harvey Keitel has recently resorted to featuring in car insurance TV advertisements, reprising his role as iconic mob fixer Winston Wolfe from Pulp Fiction, which suggests that he may have fallen on hard times. A shame really, given his talents. Still, his filmography is kind of a mess - there's no way of making 36 "Rotten" movies look good, even if they do span across five decades. Then again, how many films can you name starring Keitel? He's best known for his roles in a number of Tarantino flicks, of course, and then there are a few minor classics, too (Mean Streets and Bad Lieutenant are near-great films). But this guy's filmography is clogged up with so much crap - movies you wouldn't poke with a 10 foot barge pole. It's also amazing to see how many of his roles are mere cameos; Keitel just popping up to say, "Hey, remember me?" for the sake of it. Perhaps we don't need to.
