Also known affectionately as Ham and Cheese.

There are quite a few bad films out there. However, some of them contain performances so hilariously over the top that you can't help but find it memorable, if only because of how much scenery is chewed. So I want to ask you guys this; what were some of your favorite overacted performances in a mediocre film? Bonus points if it came from a well-respected actor. And do post a video showing the performance in question as well.

For me, one of my favorites is Eddie Redmayne in Jupiter Ascending. The only memorable character in the whole fricken movie.

Guaranteed to be the best "James Dean as an ambiguously European guy" impression you'll ever see.

The Oscar, anyone?
