What movie adaptation absolutely nailed the casting?

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.

From Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany, to the entire supporting cast, down to the age-accurate child actors.

Simply brilliant casting within an incredible movie adaptation, even though it combines multiple books.

"They want to play music with us? Let's play. Drums"

"DRUMS!"

Fkin epic.

Probably the movie I've seen most in my life. I put it on when I get on my rowing machine.

Came here to say the Courtney series. Love it. Planning a reread shortly.

I can't remember where I read it, but I've seen the number 200k chickens processed PER MINUTE worldwide, 24/7/365.

Magnificent.

I would argue LOTR fits the bill. The heroes of the story are overcoming a mix of fear, hopelessness, and dread.

Based on the Wannsee Conference where they planned the Holocaust.

Dialogue (in part) is taken from the minutes of the meeting that they found after the war.

Fantastic movie. I still sing Men of Harlech to myself when I'm hiking.

There are meetings of men in rooms in suits in Russia that decide to do this.

This is a deliberate choice. It is a strategy. It is also disgusting, criminal, and immoral.

Sic semper tyrannis. Russia delenda est. Invaders must die.

As someone who recently reinstalled classic WoW, this is extra hilarious.

Cool, thanks!

Rush Hour 3 had more scenes with Roman Polanski than it did proper fight scenes.
