THE BIGGEST SELLOUT:
Laurence Olivier in Clash of the Titans (1981)

He’s been called the greatest thespian of all time, so who better to don Zeus’ toga in the camptastic Clash of the Titans? Olivier’s arch-Shakespearean take on the deity may win the prize, but he’s not alone: Brando was paid $3.7 million for Superman (that’s $16.2 million today). Not bad for 10 mumbly minutes.

RUNNERS-UP:
Marlon Brando in Superman (1978)


James Earl Jones in Conan the Barbarian (1982)


Frank Langella in Masters of the Universe (1987)


Robert De Niro in Stardust (2007)
