Harry Potter cast was great.
Anthony Hopkins-Ledgends of the Fall
Jim Carey-Ace Ventura
Zach Galafanakis(sp?)-Hangover
Guy who played Shooter McGavin in Happy Gilmore
Everyone in the Expendables
Robert DeNiro & Joe Pesci-Casino & Goodfellas
Bradley Cooper, Vince Vaughn, & Owen WIlson-Wedding Crashers
Vince Vaughn in almost everything he's in IMHO.
All I can think of at the moment.

Michael Madsen and Steve Buscemi in Reservoir Dogs.

Actually, there were several actors perfectly cast in that movie.

I may have missed it in one of the previous posts, but I can't believe no one has said Robert Shaw as Quient, in Jaws.

Also, George C. Scott as Patton. It's been said Scott was better at being Patton than Patton was.

Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lector IMO


He wasn't even the directors 3rd choice for the role. He wanted Sean Connery, Jeremy Irons, and then Nicholson...they all turned it down due to the darkness of the character. Hopkins was perfect in that movie though.

Director also went after Meg Ryan, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Melanie Griffith for the Clarice role.

I thought pretty much everyone in that movie was cast perfectly.

Christopher McDonald. He plays a good a-hole.

No way. Dude had terrible basketball skills. I used to cringe when watching Scott Howard, not the wolf, play basketball.
