Perfectly Cast Movie Roles

[BurntOrangeOnly]

Phoebe Cates in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Red bikini, I'm just sayin'.........

 

[BMBMD]

William Bendix in "The Babe Ruthe Story"

 

[FAST FRED]

Kevin Spacey in "Horrible Bosses" especially, but also Jennifer Aniston, Jamie Foxx, Julie Bowen, Donald Sutherland, Bob Newhart and Colin Farrell

Of course, Jason Sudeikis, Jason Bateman and Charlie Day were perfectly cast too.

And complimentarily well-cast also.

I watched "Affliction" the other night,a Paul Schrader film,and Nick Nolte was perfect casting as a small town lawman whose life unravels into madness. An excellent film I highly recommend.

 

[TigerPride]

Both guys who played Rooster Cogburn.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

John Belushi as Bluto in "Animal House."

HHD

 

[lecturer]

john wayne as ghengis kahn and edward g. robinson as pontius pilate.

 

[Joe Fan]

 

[Crockett]

I really liked Angelica Houston as Morticia Addams and Christina Ricci as Wednesday.

 

[Bayerithe]

Didn't like either Hackman, nor Spacey as Lex Luthor. Michael Rosenbaum did a much better job as Luthor in Smallville.

 

[Alex_de_Large]

Saw Jack Nicholson mentioned, but not for Col. Nathan R. Jessep.

 

[HornHawk]

Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh in No Country For Old Men

Jimmy Stewart in It's a Wonderful Life

Kevin Spacey in American Beauty

 

[Bevo Incognito]

Shaw was great in "Jaws," but I thought Richard Dreyfuss was equally good as Matt Hooper. Totally believable.

 

[hornfanuk]

Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela in Invictus.

The producers must been like "It's Morgan Freeman, or we don't bother making the movie."

 

[DelRioHorn]

Edward Norton in American History X....unbelievable, he was robbed of the Oscar that year.

 

[Aces_Full]

Agreed on Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday in Tombstone. Stellar performance.

 

[TXSNOS]

Julianne Moore in Boogie Nights

Kathy Bates in Misery

 

[2feathers]

I've seen Gregory Peck mentioned a couple of times. I thought he was perfectly cast as:

Atticus Finch

 

[Y Sanchez]

Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday in Tombstone.

"You're a daisy if you do"

I think I win.

Meryl Streep in Sophie's Choice ---- one of the best acting performances I have ever seen.

Her German was perfect in that movie.
