Best All Star / Ensemble Cast?

ionapaul

Hey all,

Just watching 'A Bridge Too Far' for the first time; wow has it got an amazing cast! The only other movie with a similar big name cast that stands out in my mind is 'The Great Escape'. I suppose Sin City had a pretty big name cast as well, and Glengarry Glen Ross. Which movies stand out for you because of the all star quality of the cast?

Holsten

Ocean movies?

Reservoir Dogs.

Peyton Manning

Burn After Reading

Otis Driftwood

True Romance.

I win.

faceman

Glengary Glenross

Every actor is top of his craft and all performances are excellent. Even the usually mundance Alec Baldwin gives the performance of his career.

Just about anything by Robert Altman is up there e.g. MASH, Nashville, Short Cuts, and especially The Player, and Gosford Park.

Snake Plisken

Pulp Fiction wins hands down

Lamper.sffc

The outsiders.

C Thomas Howell, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Tom Cruise. The Brat Pack in full effect. Most of them were nt famous at that point though. Great film from what i remember. Its been a while since i seen it.

Melion

Jesus, 10 posts and no mention of The Departed.

Leo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, Ray Winstone, Alec Baldwin

Royal Tenenbaums?

Magnolia.

Arcee

Most John Hughes movies from the 80's - St. Elmo's Fire and The Breakfast Club! :cool:

I was pretty taken aback at the amount of well known names going up at the beginning of The Tale of Despereaux the other day..... terrible film though.

Heat?

pacino, de niro, John Voight, Val Kilmer...

Might have put a few guys on the map, but at the time hardly a who's who of stars, Keitel was the only real recognisable face

True Romance or Sin City would get my vote as the best actual all star film, but Mars Attacks sure had a sh*t load of famous faces in it (Cr*p movie though)

Pride Fighter

Cross of Iron has some great actors
Magnificent Seven too
Lucky Stars series of films has all of Hong Kong action cinemas heavyweights, they are personal favourites of mine

SuperGrover

My Vote would prob go for Oceans 11,

but a mention does go to the departed.

That would have to be "Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf" - cast of 4, all 4 of them nominated for Oscars.

Some of the stars werent really stars at the time. Also, i think its a very over-rated film altho i realise i will be hung drawn and quartered for saying that!

Do you not think that this cast is pretty amazing in terms of star power? I couldn't get over the number of A-listers...
