One of the greatest indie films ever gave us one of the greatest dance scenes ever. Tarantino directed Uma Thurman and John Travolta in a little dance to Chuck Berry's "You Never Can Tell" and their careers skyrocketed.
California native Eric Stoltz broke into Hollywood in 1982's "Fast Times at Ridgemont High". He went on to be cast as 'Marty McFly' in the blockbuster "Back to the Future", but was replaced after initial filming began. He didn't let this setback dissuade him though and went on to star in "Mask", "Some Kind of Wonderful", "Singles", and had a small, but very memorable role in 1994's "Pulp Fiction". Recently Stoltz appeared in "The Butterfly Effect", "The Honeymooners" and had recurring roles on "Grey's Anatomy" and "Will and Grace". Stoltz has also stepped behind the camera and filling the role of director for shows like "Law and Order", "Boston Legal", "Grey's Anatomy", and "Glee".
... before Michael J. Fox took on the role of Marty McFly in the "Back to the Future" trilogy, 80s actor Eric Stoltz was cast. He even filmed a bunch of scenes, all before ultimately being fired by producer Steven Spielberg and director Robert Zemeckis. Apparently, they felt he wasn't 'right' for the part and we completely agree. It's hard to imagine the time-travel blockbuster without the pint-sized Fox.

This story centers around a girl and her older brother as they deal with the troubles of high school. Everyone remembers this film, mainly because of bleach-blond, surfer dude Sean Penn and his hilarious (and very different) performance. Check for small performances by future stars Nicolas Cage, Anthony Edwards, and Forest Whitaker.
