This just popped into my head this morning and I totally agree.

Yes and no. Some movies are great but anyone could have been in some of the roles and it still would have been great.

I don’t think anyone is arguing that Kate winslet was perfectly cast in titanic even though the movie was a blockbuster that won a million awards. Leo, however , was perfectly cast as was Kate winslets fiancé.

The Devil Wears Prada is almost perfectly cast- Adrian Grenier is terrible as thr chef. But otherwise? It’s just fantastic.

Agree. He was perfection in Entourage but he was totally forgettable and lacked any character development in devil wears Prada. They should have just deleted the role.

You beat me to this

But I didn't love Liv Tyler initially but i think it worked because her role was expanded from the book.

Steel Magnolias

Sister Act

Moonstruck

Hidden Figures

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

I mean F. Murray Abraham.

Amadeus: Tom Hulce was magnificent as was Salieri. A perfect film.

The Godfather

Lord of the Rings
