View submission: Movies that were perfectly cast

L.A. Confidential, and even though spacey turned out to be a disappointment as a human, it was still a brilliant ensemble cast

They cast two relatively unknown Aussie actors to play the leads alongside Spacey, and this film was a breakout performance for both of them. That's some inspired casting.

I dont know why the disclaimer is always used. Spacey being a shitbag doesnt make any of his performances any less brilliant. Hes a brilliant actor, no shame in telling the truth.

I hope he never gets work again and eventually goes to jail, but I will enjoy his previous performances for what they were: fantastic acting.

Kevin Spacey is the modern day epitome of “How do I separate the art from this artist?”

So glad to see this near the top. Very first film to come to mind. It was perfect across the board.
