Judd Nelson- Bender
Mel Gibson- William wallace and Martin Riggs
Bruce Willis- John McClain

Val Kilmer- Doc Holiday
Val Kilmer looked like death in Tombstone. He truly rocked in that movie. Come to think of it, he played a pretty damn good Jim Morrison as well. He royally sucked as Batman though.

Peter Sellers - Pink Panther
There's a rumor that Mike Myers will be taking over that role and that new Pink Panther movies are in the works, but I can't imagine anyone doing it like he does.

Oh and Sean Connery..born to be Bond
Quote:Val Kilmer- Doc Holiday

Now that is a great fuckin pick, I also agree he was a great Jim Morrison he looked, walked, talked, and was Jim Morrison.

George C. Scott - George S. Patton
Will Smith - Muhammed Ali
Val Kilmer - Jim Morrison
Tommy Lee Jones - Ty Cobb
James Cagney - George Cohan, Lon Chaney
Martin Landau - Bela Lugosi
Johnny Depp - Ed Wood
Robert De Niro - Jake Lamotta
Rod Steiger - Al Capone
Denzel Washington - Malcolm X
Paul Muni - Louis Pastuer
Ben Kingsley - Ghandi
Peter O'toole - Lawrence of Arabia

Malcolm McDowell - A Clockwork Orange
Vince Vaughn - Made, Swingers
Jay Mewes - Jay
Quote:john cameron mitchell- hedwig and the angry inch

Like this movie huh? It figures, faggit

Quote:morgan freeman- everything he does

I submit you to both "Along came a spider" and "Kiss the Girls". He did a good job in both, but he is the exact opposite of who James Patterson wrote about in all the Alex Cross novels
