Red Dawn would be one. A lot of future stars in that one.

Platoon as well.

Speaking of Kevin Bacon, how about Animal House?

“Lavender Hill Mob” stars Alec Guinness (pre-Obi Wan) and Stanley Holloway (pre-Alfred P. Doolittle).

BUT, the person to watch for is the walk-on cigarette girl; that’s Audrey Hepburn in her movie debut!

And Robert Shaw plays a police lab tech. Cool

Winter's Bone w/ Jennifer Lawrence. She'd done tv work before that, but didn't really get famous till she did X-Men.

The movie is excellent.

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Vision Quest had Madonna as a singer in a bar band. This was before her music career took off.

Jack Nicholson was also in The Wild Ride. I think it was his second movie.
