Terry Gilliam asks if he can remake Brazil with Bruce Willis. It's super effective! (It is, in fact, a remake of La Jetée (1962).)
Brad Pitt auditions for his role in Fight Club by flicking his wrists around excitedly and flipping people off. It's super effective!
Madeleine Stowe falls in love with a stinky, unwashed homeless man with diagnosed psychosis and a documented history of extreme violence, mostly because he bobs his head enjoyably to What a Wonderful World.
Everyone else is perfectly good, and Bruce Willis can carry it as the lead, but Pitt's performance entirely makes the film.
The bad guy from season 3 of House and the good guy from every season of Law & Order: SVU (the one who looks indistinguishable from the guy in Crash) are wandering around, too.
