Best movie with complete unknowns?
 
I know they are out there, but for the life of me can't think of any...

Unknowns when the film came out, or complete unknowns even now?

Well, it just so happens that right now I'm seeing the cover art for City of God under "HD Reviews," and I think that's a great example.

Off the top of my head, Bubble was really good.

If we are going to include Foreign films, then there are too many to name.

Yes, that is true. City of God is still a great movie. :)

That one came to mind, but I think Milla Jovovich was somewhat known as a model at that point, and she had been in a few films.

400 Blows...possibly? I'm not sure about the rest of the cast.

I would take this as a joke, but four of the five are valid answers.

Threw in a wildcard. Thought it would be best if I put it first. ;)

Laws of Gravity - Edie Falco is a big name now, Peter Greene & Paul Schulze are somewhat famous, and Adam Trese is a semi-familiar face. Twenty years ago, they were total unknowns.

The lead is Jean-Pierre Leaud, who was unknown at the time, but has been a star ever since.

'Balthazar' star Anne Wiazemsky also had a pretty good career after her famous debut. She made a number of films with Godard and Pasolini (co-starring with Leaud in several), as well as Garrel, Techine.
