Buzzfeed.com has another incredible list. This one is about movies from the 1980s.

Robert Downey Jr. was considered for the role of Duckie in "Pretty in Pink".  Jon Cryer ended up getting the part.

The cake in the final scene of "Sixteen Candles" was made out of cardboard.

John Cusack almost got the part of Bender in "The Breakfast Club" before it went to Judd Nelson.

The reason Han Solo was frozen in carbonite at the end of "The Empire Strikes Back" was because Harrison Ford hadn't signed on for the third movie yet.  They needed an excuse to kill him off if he ended up backing out.

Disney passed on "Back to the Future" because of the quasi-incestuous storyline involving the younger version of Marty McFly's mother falling in love with him.

Charlie Sheen turned down the lead in "The Karate Kid".
