In the movie Precious:

Mo’Nique. Wow. I always associated her with comedy and she chilled me to the bone as Previous’ mother.

In supporting roles- Mariah Carey and Lenny Kravitz. I like actor Lenny Kravitz better than I like singer Lenny Kravitz!

didn't she produce this movie? So she cast herself. She is wonderful though, so funny.

I don't know if Melissa produced it, but Julianne Moore was originally cast and dropped out.

NP. Julianne Moore? I like her a lot but Melissa McCarthy was ideal for that role. I read the book, too, and the voice of the author seems to fit so well with Melissa McCarthy playing her. That movie is an underrated little gem.

Morgan Freeman too! He’s called Red because the character was a red headed Irish guy. They really went off script so to speak and the movie would not be the same without the two of them.

Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Who’da thunk a skinny Brit could do that role so well?

Piers Brosnan and Renee Russo in a Thomas Crown Affair. Absolutely sexy and sublime. Favorite movie of all time.

Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny. Perfection.

Alicia Silverstone in Clueless. In fact, the entire casting of Clueless was in point. Brittany Murphy Paul Rudd Alfonso Ribera.

Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer in Top Gun. Cocky perfection

Cuba Gooding Jr. in Jerry Maguire.

Christopher Reeve as Superman. Tom Holland as Spider-Man. In fact the entire Marvel Universe is perfectly cast with the exception of Scarlett Johansson.

Nicole Kidman in The Others.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Mr. and Mrs Smith. Hot.

Tupac Shakur in Poetic Justice.

Kate Hudson in Almost Famous.

I love me some Elle Woods #2 in DC is underrated.

George Banks is so much like my dad. That movie is an all time fave.

And Ferris? Man, did I crush on MB after seeing that movie when I had chicken pox as a kid
