10 Great Movies Starring The Stranger Things Cast

5. It

Fear Street Part 2: 1978 Sadie Sink
Warner Bros.

It's surprising that not more of the young cast of It have appeared in Stranger Things considering the similarities between both the show and the film. Even more surprising considering how talented the child actors are. Still, the film did wonders for one member of the Losers Club, Richie Tozer played by Finn Wolfhard.

Both the first series of Stranger Things and It Chapter One and Chapter Two were filming at around the same time, so Finn's acting chops were tested to the max when portraying both a Dungeons and Dragons fanboy in the Netflix series, and the loud-mouthed over-compensator in the Stephen King adaptation.

The film follows a group of youngsters in the 1980s who are tormented by an entity going under the guise of Pennywise the Dancing Clown, who feeds on children's fears every 27 years, and it's up to our lovable gang of outcasts to stop the evil clown. All the young actors are brilliant and would all go onto bigger and better things, Wolfhard being no exception.
