    Perfect casting:
    Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly
    Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown
    Bill Murray in everything he's done.

    Not so much:
    Tom Hanks' hair in the Da Vinci Code

    except: Bill Murray in Razor's Edge. Horrible casting choice. Also: Bill Murray in Charlie's Angels. Also: Bill Murray in the Ghostbusters reboot.

    Cast perfectly: Rowan Atkinson as Blackadder. Nolan North as Nathan Drake. Ellen McLain as GLADOS. Alex Kingston as River Song. John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness.

    Miscast: Andy Serkis as Snoke. The role didn't complement his skill with mo-cap, limiting him to sitting in a chair, and his vocal performance was just bland.

    I've never heard of Razor's Edge so I'll take your word for it.

    I want to say Bill was outstanding in Caddyshack; a Cubs hat and appearing in people's Wedding photos.

    Bill Murray in Rushmore. His best performance in one of the greatest films of the last 20 years.

    I still think the character was too vague to be her iconic role.

    He head-butted McG during filming didn't he? I'd say that makes for a great casting.

    Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear.

    Billy Crystal, the studio's first choice, who turned it down, just would not have had the same impact.

    Also horribly miscast: Maggie Gyllenhall as Rachel Dawes in Dark Knight. I couldn't get past her atrocious posture.
    Trivia: Hugh Grant was originally cast in the role, but got dropped because of a certain scandal...
    Other HP casting trivia: Helen McCrory was originally cast as Bellatrix LeStrange, but dropped out because of a pregnancy, but was brought back as her sister, Narcissa Malfoy. Great final casting in both instances. (the LeStrange sisters, not Brannaughroy)

    Other great casting: Christopher Judge as Teal'c
    Other horrible casting: Elodie Yung as Elektra

    I thought Grant dropped out due to scheduling. Divine Brown was about seven years earlier. He would have been better, but my ideal casting would have been another Hugh, Laurie.

    I think Sly could actually have pulled off Dread very well with the right script/director and indeed some parts of that film are actually pretty good(the stuff with Von Sydow mostly) only to be overwhelmed by terrible clinched nonsense.
