Over the course of its first two seasons, The Mandalorian has proven itself one of the most critically acclaimed and universally adored additions to the Star Wars universe. The show has brought many new faces into the spotlight, but Jon Favreau's series also houses its fair share of established Tinseltown talent.

Whilst the star of Star Wars' space western series Pedro Pascal has a variety of TV highlights to his name, including Narcos and Game of Thrones, many of his castmates are seasoned veterans when it comes to Hollywood hits, and these are some of the finest selections available when it comes to movies featuring The Mandalorian's cast.

11 Once Were Warriors Features Boba Fett Like You've Never Seen Him Before

once were warriors temuera morrison as jake heke

A brutally bleak drama that became the highest-grossing film in New Zealand's history upon release in 1994, Once Were Warriors is a brilliant, though utterly devastating look at domestic abuse, alcoholism, and poverty. Temuera Morrison's role as Jake Heke is the one that made him an international star, and his performance in this movie is nothing short of breathtaking.

Whilst he's known to most movie fans as Boba Fett, it's unlikely that any viewer will ever picture Morrison the same again after watching Once Were Warriors. Few performances in film history are packed with as much raw instability and unbridled rage. It's a must-see movie for any fan of Morrison's work.

10 Disney's Mulan Is More Of Ming-Na Wen's Exceptional Talent

Disney's 36th animated feature may not enjoy the adoration of other '90s classics, yet Mulan fits alongside the other greats of the era thanks to its magical score, fantastic story, sharp animation, and top-tier voice acting performances--including one from The Mandalorian's Ming-Na Wen as the titular character.

She's backed up by the typically brilliant Eddie Murphy, and their talents combine excellently to make Mulan a highly enjoyable adventure for the entire family.

9 Jojo Rabbit Is A Masterpiece From Director And Actor Taika Waititi

Jojo Rabbit fun taika waititi

The silky tones and unmistakable accent of IG-11 don't just belong to a terrific voice actor, they belong to one of the most talented filmmakers working today. Most movie fans are familiar with Taika Waititi without necessarily being aware of the fact, as he is the director that not only helmed Thor: Ragnarok but also voiced Korg in the film and other MCU installments.

Waititi has multiple award-winning films in his catalog, but for the best of him as both an actor and director, Jojo Rabbit is a perfect choice. A hilarious, heartwarming takedown of Nazis and their mini-mustachioed leader in which Waititi plays a heavily fictitious, ridiculing version of Adolf Hitler.

8 Michael Biehn Made Himself An Old West Legend In Tombstone

The Mandalorian being a space western meant the likelihood of at least one of the great gunslingers of movies past would show up armed and ready for a duel. Tombstone's Johnny Ringo did just that in the form of Lang in season 2 of the Star Wars series.

Michael Biehn is one of the few Hollywood legends who can boast roles in both The Terminator and Aliens, but his tough-talking, quick-drawing performance as old west figure Johnny Ringo in Tombstone may just be his career-best.

7 Greef Karga Fought Terrifying Aliens As Far Back As The '80s In Predator

Carl-Weathers-in-Predator

An undeniable icon particularly when it comes to action cinema, Carl Weathers made a name for himself in the '70s and '80s as a bad-mouthing beefcake capable of putting a serious hurting on his on-screen enemies. The Sylvester Stallone-starring classic Rocky franchise is a great starting point for anyone wanting to see more of Weathers' work, but for a truly thrilling showcase of the Greef Karga actor, look no further than Predator.

The former Action Jackson star is at his bad-guy bashing best opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger. Predator remains a science fiction masterpiece, and it led to an array of sequels and spin-offs attempting (unsuccessfully) to recapture its glory.

6 Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Contains More Timothy Olyphant Cowboy Coolness

For anyone yearning for more of the actor behind Cobb Vanth, the HBO cowboy classic series Deadwood is arguably the best place to start. Timothy Olyphant has a remarkable resume when it comes to TV, but he's also managed to make his mark in some Tinseltown productions as well.

Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood features Olyphant in all his charismatic cowboy glory. It's nostalgia-heavy, outrageously fun, and the ingeniously inventive good time that one would expect to have when watching Quentin Tarantino's 9th movie.

5 Grizzly Man Is The Perfect Showcase Of A Movie Master, Werner Herzog

Though this jaw-dropping, at times unbelievable documentary may not qualify as starring Werner Herzog, it is a remarkable showcase of the German director's abilities.

The man behind The Mandalorian's The Client writes, directs, and narrates the incredible tale of Timothy Treadwell, a bear enthusiast who took his fascination with the majestic creatures to a fatal level. Grizzly Man is one of the most bizarrely enjoyable documentary films ever created--a heartbreaking, thought-provoking, and absolutely insane story that has to be seen to be believed.

4 Giancarlo Esposito Has Been Consistently Stealing The Show Since Do The Right Thing

Arguably the greatest Spike Lee joint to come from the acclaimed filmmaker, Do The Right Thing is a stunning exploration of race relations set in the late '80s. Giancarlo Esposito plays Buggin' Out, a wide-eyed, outspoken pizza parlor patron, and it's not just the decades since this film's release that leaves the actor looking a far cry from the terrifyingly evil Moff Gideon.

Esposito's eye-catching performance renders him one of the most memorable personas in the film, though if you're looking for more of Esposito's dark, villainous side specifically, AMC's mega-hit series Breaking Bad has you covered.

3 Rosario Dawson Is One Of The Mandalorian's Major Names, And Death Proof Is One Of Her Many Career Highlights

Quentin Tarantino's love letter to '70s grindhouse theatres may not be his best film, but Death Proof is still a high-octane thrill ride more than worthy of its 2-hour runtime. Tarantino is known for his keen eye for talent, and this film is no different as Rosario Dawson puts in a typically captivating showing opposite the legendary Kurt Russell.

The Ahsoka Tano actress can also be seen in Rent and the 2005 adaptation of Frank Miller's comics, Sin City, as well as the Netflix Marvel series, beginning with Daredevil.

2 48 Hrs. Is A Classic Featuring The Actor Behind Kuiil, Nick Nolte

Nick Nolte has a career to rival any of The Mandalorian's eclectic cast. A major player in Hollywood for over 4 decades, Nolte has appeared in an incredible number of hit movies over the years. One of his most acclaimed showings comes in Warrior, for which the Kuiil actor received an academy award nomination.

For thrills of a more light-hearted nature, though certainly not ones suitable for the entire family, 48 Hrs. brings all the laughs and the action with some welcome help from Eddie Murphy. The action-comedy made Murphy a Hollywood star, and further cemented Nick Nolte as one.

1 Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm Shows Mark Hamill Isn't Always The Good Guy

Joker in Mask of the Phantasm

The world knows Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, but another of his roles would likely be just as famous had it not been so expertly hidden behind vibrant animation and Hamill's own incredible talent as a voice actor.

To some fans, Mark Hamill's performance as the clown prince of crime is the definitive one. And that's a serious statement considering what the likes of Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholson have turned in over the years. When it comes to Bat-movies, especially animated ones, they don't get much better than Mask of the Phantasm, and Hamill is an absolute delight to listen to every moment the Joker is on screen.
