Probably the only thing that Star Wars Episodes 1-3 got right, was casting Ewan McGregor. He really seemed like a young Alec Guiness.
Peter O' Toole in Lawrence of Arabia. Possibly the greatest acting peformance ever.
Marlin Brando in the Godfather. Actually, pretty much the entire cast of Godfather 1 & 2.
Not a movie, but James Gandalfini in the Sopranos. The show would'n't have been nearly as amazing as it was without perfectly casting someone who could pull of the complexity of Tony Soprano.
