Actors Who Make Me Want to NOT See a Movie When I Find Out They're In It, Even If I Did Want to See It Before, and Often for No Good Reason:

*the caveat here is sort of the opposite of the last one--the favorites are not necessarily favorite roles that actor has played, but are more likely movies that I enjoyed in spite of these actors being in them

I find Cameron Diaz really annoying for some reason. I really don't know why; maybe it's that she seems kind of vapid.
Favorite: In Her Shoes, The Holiday, Knight and Day. Least: The Green Hornet.  Refused to see at least partially because she was in them: Bad Teacher, What Happens in Vegas, My Sister's Keeper.

I have long hated Kirsten Dunst, and though I feel a little bad saying that because I'm sure she's a lovely person, I just really cannot stand her. I have often said, and been told that I'm rude for doing so, that she just makes me want to punch her in the face. It is rude of me, I fully agree. And yet...

Favorite: Little Women, Mona Lisa Smile. Least: Spiderman 1-3. Refused: Wimbledon, Bring It On.

It pains my sister that I dislike Katherine Heigl so, but it is true. She always seems awkward to me, in the way she talks and carries herself. 

Least: 27 Dresses, Killers. Refused: Life as We Know It, The Ugly Truth, One for the Money (this movie combines two things I can't stand, so I think I can safely say that I'd as soon stab myself repeatedly with a toothpick as watch it).

Not a fan of Jeff Bridges. He's a good actor, but something about him just weirds me out. Maybe it's because he's too good at playing villains, I don't know.

Favorite: True Grit (his character, not the movie). Least: Iron Man (his character, not the movie). Refused: TRON: Legacy.

Every time we watch a movie with Aaron Eckhart, Mike is appalled at my totally arbitrary dislike of him. I don't know, maybe it's that ridiculous Crimson Chin jawline; maybe it's the way too boy-next-door nice-looking-ness. I never said this was a logical list.
Favorite: The Dark Knight, Thank You for Smoking. Refused: Battle Los Angeles, Rabbit Hole. 

Oy, Ashton Kutcher. I just can't take that guy seriously, and I don't find him funny, either. Blech. He's pretty, though, I'll give him that. Way too pretty.
Favorite: The Guardian. Least: Killers, My Boss's Daughter, Dude, Where's My Car? Refused: No Strings Attached, What Happens in Vegas, Guess Who.

With Philip Seymour Hoffman I think we have the same problem as with Jeff Bridges--he's just too good at being creepy. I actually haven't seen many of his movies, but I've been creeped out by his characters when I have.
Favorite: The Ides of March. Least: Doubt.

I think John C. Reilly's IMDb bio pretty much explains things. I was surprised to really like his character in The Hours, and actually I enjoyed Cedar Rapids and kind of liked him in spite of his character's obnoxiousness... But only kind of. 
Favorite: The Hours. Least: Cedar Rapids, Never Been Kissed. Refused: Step Brothers, Cyrus.


I'm not really a fan of the Seth Rogen/Jonah Hill style of humor. And I was not pleased that the second time I have ever seen my name come up in pop culture, it was associated with that group. Kind of unfortunate, you know?

Favorite: How to Train Your Dragon, Megamind, Horton Hears a Who! Least: The Green Hornet, The 40 Year Old Virgin. Refused: Knocked Up, Pineapple Express, Superbad, Get Him to the Greek.

I can knowingly attribute my dislike of Jonathan Rhys Meyers only to the fact that he looks like a jerk. (I mean come on, look at that picture.) However, I have seen Bend it Like Beckham and Mission: Impossible 3 but don't remember him in either movie, so maybe my subconscious is just holding onto something from one of them.
Favorite: Match Point (I love the movie, but don't like his character). Least: August Rush. Refused: The Tudors (oh, the magazine ads for this show creep me out).

I used to love Matthew McConaughey--several years ago, when I was in my chick flick/Delilah radio phase (yeah, I know, I was awesome). I still secretly sort of love How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, but maybe that's because I haven't watched it in years so I just have nice memories. :)
Favorite: The Wedding Planner, U-571. Least: Sahara, Failure to Launch. Refused: The Lincoln Lawyer, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, Fool's Gold.


I'm always turned off to a movie when I see that it stars country singers...


Tim McGraw--Friday Night Lights, Flicka, The Blind Side, Four Christmases
Toby Keith--Broken Bridges, Beer for My Horses
Taylor Swift--Valentine's Day
Billy Ray Cyrus--The Spy Next Door
Miley Cyrus--The Last Song
Trace Adkins--The Lincoln Lawyer
Dwight Yoakam and Tim McGraw--Dirty Girl


Or current/former child stars (see Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus above, Justin Bieber, Taylor Lautner, etc.)...


Anyway. This is by no means a complete list, but these are the first ones who came to my head. I'm sure more will come up in the comments!
