To quote GeneralE..."maybe someone should start another thread for "most perfectly cast" as well."

So I have...

I would have to say that the most perfectly cast I could think of off the top of my head would be...

1. Alan Rickman as any bad guy he's ever been...Sheriff of Nottingham and Hans Gruber...both of those roles ROCK!

2. Antonio Banderas in all of the El Mariachi movies and in The Mask of Zorro...whoa...it's getting hot in here.

3. Pierce Brosnan as 007...perfect role for him

4. James Earl Jones as the voice of Darth Vader...nothing else can be said about that.

5. Harrison Ford as Indy and as Han Solo...can't imagine ANYONE else in those roles.

I'll stop there to give others a chance...I could go on for days!!!! :o)

Okay, lets see.

3. Yul Brener: 10 Commandments & The King & I, etc...etc...etc...
4. Edward Norton: American History X: (guess why I thought of it,lol)
5. Val Kilmer: As Ice in Top Gun

Poor Keanu Reeves, no one seems to like him. I think the Bill & Ted movie has killed half of his career. I do think he was perfectly casted in the Matrix and the Devils Advocate. He is such a strange character, I think that is why I give him props where most people dont!

You should...it's dark, sometimes a bit difficult to follow, but it's very interesting. I personally like the cinematography and the lighting...quite cool.

Michael Keaton in Batman, he is without a doubt the best Batman ever, sorry to all you old folks who love Adam West

Jack Nicholson as The Joker, probably the best villain ever portrayed on film

Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man...wow

Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in Interview with a Vampire

Oh and all of the ghostbusters, classic movie wouldn't have been the same minus any of these guys

And I just have to say it, everyone who has ever had a role in the best show that has ever come out of television...Seinfeld...BRILIANT!!

the guy that did the voice of Templeton (I think), the Rat in the movie Charlotte's Web. (OK, ok, it was a cartoon, but he was perfect). At least I thought so when I was 6. :-)

That would be Paul...Paul...Paul...dang, I can't think of his name...but he was also on Bewitched and other TV shows back in the day...Paul...Paul...LYNDE! He was also a voice on Penelope Pitstop...consequently, my dad wanted to name me Penelope. Thank goodness he didn't!! LOL

Everyone in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. They were just as I imagined when I read it. Especially Gandalf (Ian McKellan) and Frodo (Elijah Wood).

Also Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith in the Matrix.
