Matt Dillon: I'm not as familiar with a lot of his work but remembered my first time seeing him was Something About Mary and he was hilarious....that was his 33rd film according to IMDB....The Outsiders was his 7th

Go watch a movie called Wild Things from back in 1998.

You're welcome.


Oh and be sure to watch all the way to the very end.

Fast forward to the motel pool scene and ignore the rest.

Really? How does one not notice Vin Diesel in a movie? He is basically the same big meathead in every role he plays.

Filmed in my hometown.

This thread is pretty wild re: all the actors who appeared in Miami Vice. It includes (at the time) unknowns and already big stars

Around the same time was a movie about a military school that was going to be shut down but the cadets took over and tried to prevent it from being closed. Cruise was in that as well with a bunch of up-and-comers. Can't recall the name...

Taps

Cruise had a relatively minor role. Main characters were played by Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn.

I've seen Ving Rhames in a couple lately.

Don't forget Stand by Me.

Scream 2 is a bit of a dark horse here.

Obviously the 3 leads still very early in their careers. (Neve Campbell, David Arquette, Courtney Cox)

Supporting cast:
Liev Shrieber
Jada Pinkett Smith
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Timothy Olyphant
Laurie Metcalf (Oscar nominee)
Portia De Rossi
Marisol Nichols (Now in Riverdale)
Heather Graham (cameo)

All either making their film debut or total unknowns.

Better known supporting cast:
Jerry O'Connell
Joshua Jackson
Omar Epps
Luke Wilson (cameo)
Tori Spelling (cameo)

Good case to be made for the first Scream obviously, but the supporting cast is a lot more impressive for 2.

Also....sorry but how do you not recognize Tom Cruise in 2001? The biggest movie star in the world arguably at the height of his popularity?

The Princess Bride

Yep, he's mentioned in the thread

St. Elmos Fire

Last Picture Show

Cybill Shepherd
Jeff Bridges
Randy Quaid
Timothy Bottoms

And a stellar older cast.

I can't wait until you discover Oceans 11or any of the terrible late aughts holiday movies (Leap Day William, etc)

Also, when you saw this movie 20yrs ago, Tom Cruise was only the biggest star in the world, so no wonder you missed him.

---

Oceans 11 was not prevalent to what Outsiders accomplished. Young unknown actors vs prime actors.

Scott Pilgrim vs the World

Michael Cera
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Kieran Culkin
Anna Kendrick
Aubrey Plaza
Brie Larson
Allison Pill
Jason Schwartzman
Brandon Routh
Chris Evans... in one of the first roles I actually started to like him

not sure where you're getting 2001 from..saw this movie when jiwas 12 years old in the 90s.

You said 20-something years ago. Kind of besides the point though. So what, 1998? My post is still true.

Probably never saw Top Gun, either

You sure about that Columbo?

I occasionally love rewatching episodes of the Twilight Zone. A number of actors/actresses better known for other roles (even eventually big time A-Listers) were guest stars on the original anthology TV series.

Robert Redford
Robert Duvall
Burt Reynolds
Lee Marvin
Peter Falk
Charles Bronson
Elizabeth Montgomery
Cloris Leachman
Julie Newmar
Dennis Hopper
Burgess Meredith
Ron Howard
And a good portion of the crew of USS Enterprise from Star Trek TOS
William Shatner
Leonard Nimoy
George Takei

Exactly. I was 12

Great book for jr high. Ok movie.

Diane Lane was also in the Outsiders.

Tom Cruise: later that year would star in Risky Business and 3 years later Top Gun

For some reason, I'm most amazed that Risky Business and Top Gun are only 3 years apart.
