DVD Talk Hero
2 films from yesterday:
Didn't realize it was Gillian Anderson for a few minutes in "The Last King of Scotland", and also finally figured out that Maribel Verdu (in Pan's Labyrinth) was the same actress who played a very sensual woman in "Y tu mama tambien".

Enemy of the State has been on a lot lately, and I didn't realize until now Jack Black was in it.
I remember being surprised when I realized that Liam Neeson was in Krull. Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid in the Harry Potter movies) was also in it.

We all know Hulk Hogan was in the seminal "Suburban Commando", but who remembers the emotional performance given by the Undertaker that nearly stole the show?

I caught some Lawrence Fishburne when I re-watched Cherry 2000 on Encore the other day (brief scene at the beginning).
"Sex in the City"'s own Cynthia Nixon has a small role in Amadeus.
Now that Hugh Laurie is such a big domestic TV star, it is always fun to catch him in older roles like Sense and Sensibility and Peter's Friends.

Am I the only one who recognizes Gina Gershon as one of the stuck up rich girls in PRETTY IN PINK?
She has no lines, but she nods to everything Kate Vernon says (the new Battlestar Galactica & Malcolm X).

I was searching on youtube for cannibal corpse clips, and found out that they are the band featured in Ace Ventura Pet Detective (theres a funny deleted clip that actually has Carey do some death metal style singing.

One that I remembered when I first watched The Office was that Dwight (Rainn Wilson) was the guy in the first season of Dark Angel that had the mechanical exoskeleton legs that he gave to Logan. He was also one of the aliens in Galaxy Quest.
