Lost Boys, natch!

"We panicked in the face of the enemy!"

Unfortunately if I remember correctly we haven't had much luck with either of the two Coreys, so lets go with...

Catch Me If You Can

Leonardo DiCaprio

Johnny Depp

Lone Ranger

I usually go with Berry Pepper here or even Helena Bonham Carter but lets go ahead and give...


Armie Hammer

... a try. I can think of at least one big film he has been in since this one.

I really dislike this movie and most of of my ire is on what Johnny Depp did to Tonto. But the one thing that it did accomplish was the re-establishing in my mind just how amazingly appropriate the William Tell Overture is for westerns and running horses and chase scenes even though it was written for something completely different. Kudos to whoever it was decided back in 1933 to associate that particular piece of classical music with the Lone Ranger radio show, which BTW started at WXYZ here in Detroit as did the Green Hornet.

[Fromm Wikipedia: The finale of the Overture, often called the "March of the Swiss Soldiers" in English represents the opera's climax. And while there are no horses or cavalry charges in it, this segment is often used in popular media to denote galloping horses, a race, or a hero riding to the rescue. Its most famous use in that respect is as the theme music for The Lone Ranger; that usage has become so famous that the term "intellectual" has been defined as "a man who can listen to the William Tell Overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger."]

He has been in a few, like Man From Uncle

[The Lone Ranger and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. were two of my very favorite TV shows growing up. And if you twisted my arm and made me pick my favorite TV show ever it would be a tie between The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and the original Magnum P.I. so it may come as something of a surprise that I do not dislike The Man from U.N.C.L.E. nearly as much as I do The Lone Ranger. And even though Illya is an out of control thug, and the direct opposite of what he was intended to be, the movie still has the right feel. It is flighty, fun, and flirty and while I could have done with a little less flighty that is how people have come to see the 60s. And Arnie Hammer cannot be held responsible for the flim's interpretation of Illya Whereas Disney let Johnny Depp run hog wild over the Lone Ranger and for most part get 'the feel' totally wrong. IMO.]


Henry Cavill

[36 steps]

I have more to say about Henry Cavill but will have to hold it until the next movie is played.

I am assuming we have an absence of players happening here rather than a block.

Stardust

Peter O'Toole

[38 steps]

Okay, here is what I have to say about Henry Cavill but didn't want to go ahead and blurt out in case someone wanted to play one of the DC movies. I don't blame him for Dark Superman that was a directorial/producer decision but I did find him rather wooden even in that rather limited role, a trait I also notice in Immortals so I found myself quite surprised when I was liking his version of Napoleon Solo. Armie Hammer was not the Illya Kuryakin we knew and loved and Alicia Vikander was not, though no fault of hers, April Dancer so it all fell on Henry Cavill to be Solo and I think he pulled it off relatively well, enough to carry the film.
