1993's Much Ado About Nothing was star-heavy too (and the lone "unknown" actor then playing a main character was... Kate Beckinsale, who became something of a big deal a few years afterwards).

Kevin Kline
Scott Glenn
Kevin Costner
Danny Glover
Brian Dennehy
Rosanna Arquette
John Cleese

The Harry Potter movies are quite stacked with established actors (not counting the actors who played Harry, Hermoione and etc).

Ocean's 11 and so were pretty much the most stacked I can think of.

The leading cast members were mega stars, plus they had stars from an older generation. Then if you add in all the cameos including original movie cast members... The goal really was to have star after star.

True Romance. Most people in that movie weren't stars yet but I always joke that it's a team full of HOFers on ELCs.

Triple 9. That movie which is underrated in my opinion has a stacked cast and a great variety of tv/movie stars.

Thin Red Line.

Most Tarrantino movies have a a stacked cast. I just saw Jackie Brown again a few weeks ago as an example.

Dune 2020/2021 is going to be up there.

Michael Caine

There's probably a generic ensemble cast romcom that could give any movie a run for its money.

The Entourage movie probably had a boatload of stars, because that's the whole gimmick of the show.

However, Entourage is so excessive with cameos that it would be easy to argue that the movie isn't star-stacked.

I haven't seen the movie, but let me predict a scene: Gronk shows up, E says "Hey, it's Gronk", Gronk says one or two lines, then he's gone after that scene.
