Eastwood almost always picked good roles.   But my favorite is William Munny.   And Gene Hackman was excellent as Little Bill.

Somebody posted Steve McQueen in The Great Escape.   That whole cast was excellent.   

And while we're on the topic of cheesy WWII movies:

Lee Marvin - John Reisman

Robert Ryan - Colonel Breed

Donald Sutherland - Pinkley 

Donald Sutherland - Oddball

Alec Guinness - Lt. Colonel Nicholson

Richard Burton - Major John Smith

And non WWII movies:

Michael Caine- Lawrence Jamieson

Steve Martin - Freddy Benson

Denzel Washington - Creasy

Dakota Fanning - Pita

And not a movie but pretty much the whole cast of Band of Brothers nailed it.  But especially Damien Lewis and David Schwimmer.

Gregory Peck - To Kill a Mockingbird

Peter O'Toole - Lawrence of Arabia
