Marisa was fantastic in My Cousin Vinny.

As was Joe Pesci

What I always thought strange was the 2 of them…as a couple.

But they were so damn good as those characters, I let it go

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.



Agree with your list. One minor correction, it was Donald Faison in Clueless.

I was flat out floored by Jim Carrey in both The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Same for Adam Sandler in Punch Drunk Love -- agree with PP.
