Conversation in the pub earlier, which actors have appeared in the most good films and/or the least shit ones.

I suspect it may be Harrison Ford.

We are just watching The Terminal, with yet another good turn by Tom Hanks. He's got to be up there.

Edit - apart from You've Got Mail, or Sleepless in Seattle.

This does not make him a good actor.

I was going to say Harry Dean Stanton

I used to believe that If Harry dean Stanton is in a film you can be sure it's at least worth a watch . However I've just checked IMDB and he's in loads of shit

Harrison Ford is in raiders 4 and cowboys vs aliens

Elias Koteas.

Not a big name but has been in quite a few films and never, in my opinion, a bad one.

Michael Caine.

Now I think he's great but he's been in more shit films than I've had hot dinners. And he always plays the same part.

I'd agree with Christian Bale. What about Guy Pierce?

Jeff Bridges? Marlon Brando? Kevin Spacey?

I'd also probably agree with Brad Pitt.

Guy Pierce did The Time Machine which was pure effluent.

+1 for Christian Bale (I quite like Reign of Fire.

Clive Owen, even though he plays/is a dick in some of his films, the film's still good.

Benjamen Button. World War Z. Meet Joe Black.

Three films that lots of other people like.

Harrison Ford played Jack Ryan in those utter bilge Patriot Games films, but I guess its balanced out by being in Apocalypse Now And Blade Runner

I'd say Christopher Walken
Fred Ward
Benicio Del Toro
Johnny Depp has a pretty good record to balance Pirates of the bollocks.

Cary Grant.

Does he? Pretty much his whole career seems to be have been dedicated to helping Tim Burton make the same slightly tedious film over and over again.

How about Michael Caine although some might say muppets Christmas Carol rules him out. Also John Goodman and John Candy heavyweights in more ways than one always enjoyed their film rolls.

Deep Impact. The Bonfire of the Vanities. Olympus Has Fallen.

Edit: Having said that, he is probably about as consistent as you can get these days, and one of my favourite actors.
