an underrated one I feel like is School Ties:

Brendan Fraser
Matt Damon
Chris O'Donnell
Cole Hauser
Ben Affleck
Anthony Rapp

It's not nearly as good as some of these above, but I always like it because it's before any of these guys were "stars"

You’re not going to give credit to the baby that gets thrown off into the ditch as they are running away from the village? That was an important role.

Watch the directors cut with RDJ commentary and those are the actors/producers they were portraying.

Not sure about McConaughey
