Retrospectively headscratching movie casting choices

Message Bookmarked

So at the time they were made/released the casts didn't attract attention because maybe only a couple of the leads were famous but they're the films that years later don't make you go "Wow, look at all the talent in one place!" Instead they make you go, "The hell?"

I give to you the Robin Williams vehicle Being Human, which I remember a lot of ads for on TV for whatever reason:

* Robin Williams: Hector
* John Turturro: Lucinnius
* Bill Nighy: Julian
* Vincent D'Onofrio: Priest
* Robert Carlyle: Pre-Historic Shaman
* Simon McBurney: Hermes
* Hector Elizondo: Dom Paulo
* Ewan McGregor: Alvarez
* William H. Macy: Boris
* Theresa Russell: Narrator
* Anna Galiena: Beatrice

Is this where we'd post about Keanu Reeves as Little Buddha?

or as John Constantine?

In fact, what Keanu Reeves casting decision does not warrant headscratching apart from the Bill & Ted movies? I guess he was okay in Point Break.
