Which movie had the better cast, Cop Land or The Outsiders?

Apr 27, 2012 3:16 PM

My brother and I have had an endless debate for years as to which movie had the better cast. I have always said The Outsiders cast was stronger then Cop Land. But as the years have gone on I think his argument is getting stronger where as my theory seems to be dying off (literally in some cases).

So what do you think? I would say the two big hitters would be Tom Cruise and Robert De Niro. And in that fight I would have to give it to Bobby D.

The top of each cast is listed below:

THE OUTSIDERS:

C. Thomas Howell
Matt Dillon
Ralph Macchio
Patrick Swayze
Rob Lowe
Emilio Estevez
Tom Cruise
Glenn Withrow
Diane Lane
Leif Garrett

COP LAND:

Sylvester Stallone
Harvey Keitel
Ray Liotta
Robert De Niro
Peter Berg
Janeane Garofalo
Robert Patrick
Michael Rapaport
Frank Vincent

@wingnutzero: I was going to say that. It's hard to choose between Expendables 1 and 2, though. If you are looking at shaking your money-makers, these movies both have a lot of zeroes after their actors names.

if you're talking about star-power, box-office draw, and respect as an actor, Cop Land wins hands down. Cruise is the only really big star still alive from the outsiders, and swayze wasn't exactly a superstar either, even if you still count him. Emilio and Lowe are both B-listers today in my opinion

I'm going Outsiders based on the fact most of these guys were just starting their carreers (Rob Lowe's first movie).

I guess I think combining all the future stars is a far more impressive feat than paying a ton of big names to be in a movie together.

I secretly love enemble casts! (Noises off, Cannonball Run, It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, Smokin Aces)

You could always compromise and go with "Cop Out."

I'm inclined to go with Cop Land, strictly based on star power.

De Niro skews it a little but looking at the groups as a whole the Outsiders had a better cast.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
