I know we've had this exact thread before, but here's a sneaky great cast from the 90's. A lot of 90's stars, plus a bunch of small roles for people who went on to have much bigger careers in the 00's...

Scream 2:
Neve Campbell
David Arquette
Courteney Cox
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Timothy Olyphant
Liev Shreiber
Laurie Metcalf
Jerry O'Connell
Joshua Jackson
Jamie Kennedy
Portia de Rossi
Jada Pinkett Smith
Omar Epps
Luke Wilson
Tori Spelling
Heather Graham

Angels in the Outfield is always my go-to for the surprisingly Star-studded cast category.

Danny Glover
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Matthew McConaughey
Tony Danza
Adrien Brody
Christopher Lloyd
Neal McDonough
Dermot Mulroney

It's funny this kinda came back. I had started the old thread, had watched Date Night the other day again, and was shocked at the cast for a mediocre movie. I was too lazy to find the old thread. But that had:

Tina Fey
Steve Carrell
Mark Wahlberg
James Franco
Ray Liotta
Mine Kunis
Taraji P Henson
Gal Gadot
Jimmy Simpson
Common
Leigh ton Meester
Kristen Wiig
Mark Ruffalo
Olivia Munn
Nick Kroll
Samantha Bee
Jason Jones
WilL.I.Am

Guess a lot of people owed someone favors.

I went back and found the original thread with some good ones.

You want to hear some interesting stuff about that movie read Rob Lowe's book.

I mentioned Silverado on that one, as well, with a few more names than I listed here.

That's pretty incredible and I've seen the movie but forgot most of those were in it.


I suppose we have to now add Oppenheimer to the list - hardly a sneaky cast but just the number of big names is impressive.

Cillian Murphy
Robert Downey Jr.
Emily Blunt
Matt Damon
Florence Pugh
Josh Hartnett
Gary Oldman
Josh Peck
Jason Clarke
Casey Affleck
Rami Malick
Alden Ehrenreich
Kenneth Branagh
Matthew Modine
Scott Grimes
Jack Quaid (The Boys, son of Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid)
Gustaf Skarsgrd (son of Stellan)

Outsiders is the standard on this type of thread. Those guys and gal were young and not known stars.

Some of the other movies feature people that had already had success.

Thanks for the clarification, I was confused.


Also why can't they do a Cannonball Run reboot already.
