Re: Great performances in bad films and vice versa!

I wouldn't consider all of these movies bad, but I don't really feel that they deserve these performances:

John P. Ryan in 'It's Alive'
Clancy Brown in 'Pet Sematary II'
Carol Burnett and Tim Curry in 'Annie'
Sam Rockwell in 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind'
Brittany Murphy in 'Riding in Cars with Boys'
Janet McTeer in 'Tumbleweeds'
Leonardo DiCaprio in 'Revolutionary Road' and 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape?'
Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Daines in 'Romeo + Juliet'
Don Cheadle in 'Manic'
Christina Ricci in 'Black Snake Moan'
Nick Stahl in 'The Man Without a Face'
Gene Wilder in 'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory'
Richard Gere in 'An Officer and a Gentleman'
Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams in 'Blue Valentine'
Most of the cast of 'Ransom'

As for bad performances in good movies:

Everyone killed in 'Halloween' (1978)
Thora Birch in 'American Beauty'

Also, I might be alone here, but I've always considered 'Hocus Pocus' a genuinely good movie, made cheesy by some of the performances.
