True Romance
Would this have been a better movie without Christian Slater as the lead? Would it have been better with maybe say, Nick Cage?

Slater was fine. I had no issues with his performance in that film at all. His scene with Oldman was nails and the final scene convincing the movie producer how he got that much coke was really good.

I think Cage would have been a bit too much but perhaps I'm thinking more of him now than Raising Arizona Cage, which would have been closer to the timeline.

Sick cast. Love the movie.
----------------------------------------------------------
America's destiny is not of our own choosing. We did not seek nor did we provoke an assault on our freedom and our way of life. We did not expect nor did we invite a confrontation with evil. Yet the true measure of a people's strength is how they rise to master that moment when it does arrive.

Another of his films might qualify even more as a sneaky good cast (as well as Baby Driver but that's a rather well known one):

Scott Pilgrim vs the World

Michael Cera
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Kieran Culkin
Chris Evans
Anna Kendrick
Aubrey Plaza
Jason Schwartzman
Brie Larson
Brandon Routh
Mae Whitman
Ellen Wong
Thomas Janes
Clifton Colins Jr
Bill Hader

Considering a lot of these actors weren't very well known when the film was made (2010) that's really freakin' impressive.

Not sure how sleepy, but The Quick and the Dead is pretty ridiculous for what kind of movie it was. Four megastars (Crowe and Leo before they peaked) and a lot of recognizable actors.

Gene Hackman
Russell Crowe
Sharon Stone
Leonardo DiCaprio

Tobin Bell
Lance Henrickson
Keith David
Pat Hingle

What's sneaky about this? They were all already famous actors / musicians cast in a movie by a super famous director.

Because I was watching a little bit at lunch today, I will say, It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

Dick Tracy was filled with an A list cast. Beatty even had a thing with Madonna. I know it's more of a classic to kids from the 90s. But I still love that movie.
Quincey P. Morris

I hadn't thought about that movie in years. I just scrolled through the cast and it's nuts. Several big stars and a whole host of people who've been in a ton of stuff.
