Made for less than $300,000, 'Swingers' was a surprise hit in 1996. Jon Favreau, the film's star, also wrote the movie about struggling actors looking for love after dark in Los Angeles and cast his real-life friends as his on-screen buddies.

See the Cast of 'L.A. Story' Then and Now

Jeremy Taylor — Fri, 17 May 2013 15:30:05 +0000

1991's 'L.A. Story' was a labor of love for Steve Martin -- in addition to starring in the whimsical romantic comedy, he also wrote the hilarious script.

Mixing surreal gags with romantic misunderstandings, Martin's sun-dappled update of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' is a gentle satire of its titular city and all the movers and shakers who live within its temperate confines. It was also a vehicle for a lot of fun cameos.

See what the cast of 'L.A. Story' is up to these days below.

See the Cast of 'Crossroads' Then and Now

Jeremy Taylor — Wed, 15 May 2013 18:30:35 +0000

In the Brat Pack classic 'Pretty in Pink' a girl from the wrong side of the tracks (Molly Ringwald) has to chose between the rich but good-hearted Blane (Andrew McCarthy) or her geeky long-time buddy Duckie (Jon Cryer).

Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 13 May 2013 20:15:02 +0000

See the Cast of 'Labyrinth' Then and Now

Jeremy Taylor — Fri, 10 May 2013 21:00:18 +0000

'Labyrinth' was a bit of a flop when it was released in 1986. But the Jim Henson-directed fantasy film has had a second life, thanks to VHS, DVD and Blu-ray, and has become a cult classic among kids old enough not to be afraid of goblins.

As testament to its belated success, primary human stars David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly have both commented on how often they are still recognized by children for their roles in the film.

See what the cast -- and the puppeteers behind 'Labyrinth's' wondrous creatures -- are up to these days.

See the Cast of 'Better Off Dead' Then and Now

Jeremy Taylor — Wed, 08 May 2013 19:15:45 +0000

The 1985 black comedy 'Better Off Dead' tells the tale of a high school student (John Cusack) who falls into a deep depression after his girlfriend dumps him.

The film got good reviews, performed decently at the box office and has become a cult classic, thanks to its quirky characters and memorable one-liners ("Two dollars!")

One person who doesn't like the film is Cusack. He reportedly walked out of the first screening and blasted director "Savage" Steve Holland for "making him look foolish." Cusack did seem to soften his stance on 'Better Off' during a recent Reddit AMA, saying he thought the film "could have been better" but that he's "glad people still love it."

See what Cusack and the rest of the cast of 'Better Off Dead' are up to these days below.

See the Cast of 'Fight Club' Then and Now

Jeremy Taylor — Tue, 07 May 2013 17:56:53 +0000

It seems crazy to think but it's been 12 years since we were first introduced to Blue Steel, Derek, Hansel and the rest of the 'Zoolander' crew. The film's spot-on lampooning of the world of supermodels left fans wanting much more. Thankfully, our dreams will soon become a reality, as a sequel is in the works.

So until then, let's take a glance at the cast of 'Zoolander' then and now.
