Perfect Casting

Post examples of what you believe to be perfect casting.

Have fun and elaborate!

i thought that gettysburg was about as perfect a casting as you could get although you dont really know it until they show the comparisons of the actors and the people they played at the end of the film

To have the perfect cast you need the perfect story/script, perfect director for that story, and obviously perfect actors for that story. To have all 3 of those things in one movie is next to impossibile but the movies that I think come close to that are The Godfather, Goodfellas, American Pyscho, Pulp Fiction, Batman Begins, and Transpoiting, I'm sure I'm leaving out plenty of movies, but those are the ones that just came off the top of my head.

A Perfect Cast would make a Movie Fail.

American Beauty and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.

The perfect cast . . .

The dude is hard to top

I think Fargo, Fight club and american beauty had nearly perfect casts too

How could I forget Fargo? That was classic casting.

Shaun of the Dead.

Don't think I really have to explain there.

Fight Club, Predator, Rocky, Full Metal Jacket (Gunny 😉 )

Across the universe 🙂

Kilmer: The Doors.

Honestly... perfect casting in no way requires perfect directing story, etc. A movie can have wonderfully casted actors but a weak director.

Just... no.

My own addition: Everyone in the Lord of the Rings trilogy was pretty much perfectly cast.

American Beauty, Oceans 11 spring to mind
