Culturally illiterate? You tell me.
I saw my third movie this year: Batman Begins (no, I had not seen it before). Of the cast on screen, I recognized exactly one actor: Morgan Freeman. So, for my entertainment (and possibly yours), I list the places, if any, I have seen or heard the other first-billed actors.
Christian Bale: A Midsummer Night's Dream, Henry V. Voice actor: Howl's Moving Castle.
Michael Caine: The Italian Job (original).
Liam Neeson: Star Wars ep. 1, Schindler's List, Krull.
Katie Holmes: [nothing]
Gary Oldman: [nothing]
Cillian Murphy: [nothing]
Tom Wilkinson: The Full Monty.
Rutger Hauer: Blade Runner.
Ken Watanabe: Tampopo.
Mark Boone, Jr.: [nothing]
Linus Roache: [nothing]
Morgan Freeman: Amistad, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
Again, note that the only one I recognized on sight was Morgan Freeman. Once I had names, the only one I could associate with any movie was Rutger Hauer. (No, I did not recall which movies I had seen Morgan Freeman in.)
EDIT: Turns out I have seen both versions of The Italian Job, so corrected the entry for Michael Caine.

I'll add my voice to the people telling you to go watch Gary Oldman movies. I think you've pretty much seen the best Rutger Hauer has to offer, but Split Second is great for a laugh and a beer. Wait for the young partner to crack, it's a hoot.
Christian Bale was also the young boy in Empire of the Sun, which is quite a film.
