All Star Cast

[victorbrunswick]

I love films and TV shows that feature big name stars and familiar faces back when they were still unknown. Here's a few that immediately come to mind:

Apocalypse Now (1979): R. Lee Ermey (Full Metal Jacket), Lawrence Fishbourne, Harrison Ford
Back to the Future (1985): Corey Feldman, Billy Zane (The Phantom, Titanic)
Red Dawn (1981): Jennifer Gray (Dirty Dancing), Charlie Sheen, Patrick Swayze, Lea Thompson (Back to the Future)
Fast Times at Ridgmont High (1982): Nicholas Cage, Sean Penn, Judge Reinhold (Beverly Hills Cop), Forrest Whittaker (The Last King of Scotland)
The Outsiders (1983): Tom Cruise, Emilio Estevez, Diane Lane, Rob Lowe, Ralph Macchio (The Karate Kid), Patrick Swayze,
Platoon (1987): Johnny Depp
The Untouchables (1987): Andy Garcia
Top Gun (1987): Anthony Edwards (TV's ER), Val Kilmer and Meg Ryan
Thelma and Louise (1991): Brad Pitt
Titanic (1997): Ioan Gruffudd (The Fantastic Four)

What are some of your favorites?

Billy Zane was one of Biff's gang, the one in a black jacket & often chewing on a match. IMDB lists the character as Match.

In BTTF Corey Feldman was the little brother wearing the Davy Crockett hat when Lorraine (Lea Thompson) introduces Marty to her family.

Excalabur has a "hey it's..." moment every few minutes.

Flash Gordon is amost the same, especially for Dr Who fans.

Corey Feldman was NOT in BTTF but WAS in Gremlins! If you think he was Lorraines younger brother or the kid with the go-kart, that wasn't him!

I like Samuel L Jackson in the Eddie Murphy Film Coming to America!
