I'm sure that you've heard of the movie rating site Rotten Tomatoes?
The Rotten Tomatoes website, created in 1999, aggregates reviews from hundreds of newspapers and websites across the country, converts each review into a thumbs-up ("fresh") or thumbs-down ("rotten") rating, and then combines those assessments into a single "Tomatometer" rating that gives the percentage of positive reviews. The site even aggregates archived reviews from films that were released in the 1990s and before. Whether you're looking at contemporary cinema or the classics, the Tomatometer can serve as shorthand for a film's critical reception, if not its box office success.
After analyzing the reviews for the movies the following actors appeared in they rated them as the worst 39 of the past 25 years. Don't ask me why they picked 39 as the number - surely another 11 could have been found . . . To prove that even bad actors can have brilliant movies there are about 13 Oscar winners in the list.
