It’s more about who fits the role perfectly, I’m not so fussy about technicalities.
Nicholas Cage in just about every film he's been in because nobody else could be him.
Pretty much all of the Back to the Future cast was damn near perfect too.
Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison in the Doors movie.
Arnie as the terminator.
Gerard Butler in geostorm was an inspired casting.
The whole cast of Parks and Recreation is pretty much perfect. You can't imagine anyone else playing any of the characters. Maybe Ann and Mark would be fairly interchangeable as they're fairly bland filler characters (and they wrote Mark out pretty quickly anyway) but they nailed everyone else. Even the recurring characters like Jean Ralphio, Dr Harris, Jeremy Jamm, they're all spot on.
Whoever the actor is who plays David Berkowitz (Son of Sam) in Mindhunter. I don't think I've ever seen an actor look like and play a real person more perfectly:
Timothy Olyphant - Justified
Naomi Watts - Mulholland Drive
Edit: inspired by @diarm above, Kemper in Mindhunter.

Al Pacino as Tony Montana, perfection.
Ryan Reynolds- Deadpool
Pacino as Michael Corleone. Starts off boyish and full of life; later, you can virtually see how the soul and joy has bled out of him:
Al Bundy - Al Bundy
Ian McShane - Al Swearengen
Ian McShane - Al Swearengen
John Malkovich - Being John Malkovich
Bela Lugosi - Dracula
Alan Rickman - Sheriff of Nothingam
Michelle Pfeiffer - Catwoman
Gary Oldman - Almost very movie with him as villain

Cilian Murphy - Thomas Shelby.

Further...
Talia Shire as Connie Corleone: in Shire's hands, Connie effectively becomes Michael's bride of Dracula - egging him on in his murders, her bloodlust fuelled by her own frustrations and, essentially, self-contempt.
