Does this movie have the single greatest Casting of all time?


Watching this movie right now, and the older it gets, the more incredible the cast is in retrospect. The weakest actor of the lot is probably C. Thomas Howell, and he's the lead! This is just amazing watching this.

Lol I couldn't agree more about C Thomas Howell. Funny he was very weak in his younger years, and now as an adult he's actually pretty damn good.

But yes this movie is def in the running for best cast

Another film that should be in the running for best casting is Commando. Arnold was superb as always and the villains were very powerful from Bennett to that deposed dictator. And of course Alyssa Milano as the daughter

I recently rewatched this terrific movie and I agree, the cast is impressive, but I’d like to nominate The Great Escape and The Magnificent Seven as having great casts as well

I disagree. He was perfectly cast as Ponyboy.
