 Smart Money - the only time Cagney and Robinson shared the screen. This was released right after Little Caesar and right before The Public Enemy. |

Natalie Wood had two starring vehicles in a row where a pre-stardom Robert Redford has a smaller, but still sizable part: Inside Daisy Clover and This Property is Condemned. The former also featured Christopher Plummer and Ruth Gordon, the latter was inspired by a Tennessee Williams Story. Neither one is much brought up today.

This definitely deserves a mention as well: Christoph Waltz and Caleb Landry Jones didn't forget. The movie is literally a punchline in M. Night's Old. |

The first time Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman ever worked together on film. Not to mention it also starred John Cusack and Rachel Weisz. Never hear anyone talk about Runaway Jury though. It came at the tail end of Hollywood's obsession with John Grisham legal thrillers, and the whole formula felt stale and played out by the time it appeared.

It came at the tail end of Hollywood's obsession with John Grisham legal thrillers, and the whole formula felt stale and played out by the time it appeared. So fun fact: I had to read the book in my sophomore English advanced lit class, because my teacher was obsessed with Grisham and as we had to read one contemporary author, that was her pick. And she thought that Runaway Jury was a perfect choice because the film had just come out that same year. So I have a sort of weird relationship with this movie, primarily because of the fact they clumsily adapted it to be about guns and not cigarettes (for obvious reasons, but I don't think they stuck the landing) and also because everyone in the movie is on autopilot. Thankfully Hackman's autopilot is still damn good, but you watch this movie wanting it to be a lot more vital and searing than it is. |

The Gypsy Moths (1969) -- Burt Lancaster, Gene Hackman, Deborah Kerr. It's a fantastic film actually. But other than Kerr's shocking nude scene, the film has been entirely forgotten.

Granted, it was a TV movie, but for the pairing of an actress who was often called the Greatest Actress Of The 20th Century ( Katherine Hepburn) and an actor who had been called the Greatest Actor Of The 20th Century (Laurence Olivier), Love Among The Ruins is incredibly obscure.

I've occasionally seen some cinephiles mention it in passing, as it's the only time legendary actors Marlon Brando & Montgomery Clift shared the screen, but I never got the impression that The Young Lions was some kind of widely viewed or affectionately thought of classic. Dean Martin also stars.
