I agree with pretty much all of the ones listed as well. 
Here's a couple more:

Malcolm McDowell - Gangster No. 1
I just caught this again recently and was reminded of how ridiculous it was to cast Malcolm McDowell for the older version of the main character.  There has to be about a full 12" difference in height between him and Paul Bettany who plays the character at a younger age.  It doesn't help that every other actor in the movie plays both the young AND the old versions of their characters.  It completely ruins the movie for me, I lose interest as soon as McDowell makes his appearance.

Robin Williams - One Hour Photo
Robin williams should stick to stand-up comedy I think, he's usually quite terrible in dramatic roles.  His painful to watch performance ruined any chance this movie may have had.

I'd say Jake Lloyd in Star Wars Episode 1, the Phantom Menace.    Of all the kid actors out there, they picked this one??

LauraGigs:
I probably don't even have to mention this . . . 

but the kid who was cast as Bobby Twist!  I mean it wasn't his fault, but jeez.  (Or maybe the dialect coach was out sick on the boy's training day...)

I didn't see one-hour photo but I thought Robin Williams was very good in Goodwill Hunting and What Dreams May Come.
