    DiCaprio in "Gangs Of New York"

    Tracy Morgan - everything he's ever been in except "30 Rock"

    Orlando Bloom - "Troy" and "Kingdom Of Heaven"

    I thought Orlando Bloom was the perfect choice for the little bitch boy in Troy

    Yeah I thought it was good casting on behalf the movie, but definitely a bad role for Bloom to take. He'll have a hard time being looked at in any other light then as the whiny brother in Troy.

    Warren Beatty in Bugsy. He tried hard but the movie needed someone more handsome and charismatic.

    considering his character in 'the matrix' was supposed to have mastered all kung fu, keanu looked really shit doing it.

    I thought Keanu was perfectly cast in The Day The Earth Stood Still. An emotionless alien from another planet played to a tee.

    What was that movie where he played a politician that began rapping and fell in love w/ Halle Berry?

    It was so bad that I try to block it out, but even if it was a decent concept, he was the absolute wrong choice for that as well.

    Come think of it, there aren't very many Warren Beatty movies that I've liked.

    I can't believe they weren't able to find a better guy to play Dick Tracy. Of course, they also cast Madonna, so maybe they weren't even trying.

    Bingo! Only way they could have casted it better would be if they casted Andre Dirrell.

    Doesn't he write, direct and produce pretty much every movie he's in (from the 70's on, anyway)? If so... then there you go.

    Plus, pretty sure he was fucking MaDonna at the time. Usually the criteria for who plays the female lead... at least until he and Annette Bening became serious.

    Limitless I am pretty sure that Bradley Cooper could take a pill that unlocked 100% of his brain and he'd still only be of average intelligence.

    You're NUTS. They couldn't have made a better choice for "Paris". Have you read the Iliad?

    Haven't read those since I was a kid. I thought he was horrid. Seemed like he was trying to channel Joaquin Phoenix from "Gladiator" and failed badly.

    I'm not a fan of the movie itself though, so whatever. I've been outvoted. :lol:

    I can't believe no one has mentioned Jack Nicholson in The Departed.

    Did Brad Pitt shag your girl or something? You seem fixated.

    Sofia Coppola is The Godfather Part 3. My god was she awful. I know the other actress for the role cancelled, but FFS, hold another short audition, or get someone DECENT.

    Denise Richards in that James Bond movie. Terrible actress, annoying person in general. If she didn't have a nice body and face, she'd be useless.
