Best cast, but shitty movies.... Not that I didn't love them at the drive-in in the 70's.Quote:

If we are going full douche, but biggest names (of the generation), that Valentine's Day movie and New Year's Eve movie had a shit ton of "stars."
Which makes me think of Love Actually, which I think is a fun holiday flick. Had a great cast.
The original Poseidon Adventure had quite a cast.. I had completely forgotten that Leslie Neilsen was the Captain.
Reservoir Dogs
The Usual Suspects
Gosford Park
Magnolia
Big Lebovski
Thin Red Line
And well, not maybe the bestest cast , but how all ties together : Apocalypse.Now.
And I think all those movies are in my Top 25 evah.
Best one, maybe.

William Holden
Ernest Borgnine
Warren Oates
Ben Johnson
Jaime Sanchez
Edmond O'Brien
Robert Ryan
If you can't name the film then you really have no business discussing film IMHO.
'nuff said.
:)
Also,
Richard Dreyfuss
Roy Scheider
Robert Shaw
double 'nuff said...
The first one is The Wild Bunch, definitely a contender in the cateegory. The second is Jaws unless they appeared together in some other film, and I don't see that as more than an also-ran here.
Haa..Nice ass but shitty Cast.Quote:
If not best, a close first
Best one, maybe.
Quite a cast indeed but this one tops my personal list of the worst fucking movies ever made.Quote:

And no plans to see it again either.
The Thin Red Line, for sure.
Heat
Red Dawn!
Young Guns
Most Nolan movies have A+ casts
Point Break, obviously.
Lou Diamond Philips.
Fast Times had a pretty good cast when you think about it.
When you think about it, you'd pretty much have to say that about any movie with Sean Penn and Jennifer Jason Leigh in it. And Eric Stoltz, Forrest Whittaker, and Anthony Edwards, etc.Quote:

Seems like pretty much anyone who was around Hollywood at the time, was given a part in this.
Now that you mention it, Robert Altman had a real talent for assembling really, really good casts. He might have missed on a few, but not many.Quote:

Phil, you forgot Tom Waits. Love that movie.
Royal Tenenbaum's has a great cast, for sure.
MASH would have to win in the "bunch of nobodies (at the time)" category.
For one that hasn't been mentioned - I Heart Huckabee's has Dustin Hoffman, Lily Tomlin, Jude Law and Naomi Watts being generally awesome, Mark Wahlberg being himself (a good thing, in this case), Jason Schwartzman not ruining it, a number of good actors in small parts (Isabelle Huppert, Richard Jenkins, Tippi Hedren, probably more) and a couple of before-they-were-bigs (Jonah Hill and Isla Fisher). And a cameo from Shania Twain.
Can't believe no one's said The Departed
Serious mix of bad ass talent. I thought Alec Baldwin redeemed himself here. Jack wasn't too bad, either.
Glengerry Glenross. Been mentioned ? What a friggin stellar group of actors.
beat me to it plus Tom Waits who was well castQuote:

I say the winner is not just the best cast. But also the performance by the best cast.Quote:
