10 Movies You Forgot Had Incredible Casts (And Why You Forgot)

8. Outbreak

Anchorman 2 Thumb

In this year, it probably isn’t best to look back on this movie however this medical disaster film from 1995 has never felt more relevant. This pandemic thriller was number one at the Box Office for three weeks, but critics had split opinions on the film. With many people looking back to Outbreak since its somewhat ominous release onto Netflix at the start of March, it was easy to overlook the phenomenal cast that was put together.

Despite an original disaster movie concept, Outbreak proved to have very few lasting impressions in audience's mind at the time. It is only recently that it has resurfaced on Netflix for everyone to worry about. But many people criticised it for its inaccurate portrayal of science with developing vaccines and the mortality rate of the virus - yet it still proved a naturally worrying film for many.

The second entry in this list for ensemble-attracting Dustin Hoffman joined by Rene Russo, Morgan Freeman, Cuba Gooding Jr, Donald Sutherland, Kevin Spacey and Patrick Dempsey. As much as this cast shines, it is really dwindled by the current implications.

The Reason Why You Forgot – Aren’t we all living through this film now? You probably didn’t notice how amazing this cast is when you’re thinking about these 90’s filmmaker fortune tellers. Even at the time, the scary real-life implications would creep anyone out of remembering the credits.
