The Thin Red Line (1998) - Cast - IMDb

 

[KallioWeHardlyKnewYe]

The Thin Red Line (1998) - Cast - IMDb

This one's additionally fascinating for all the footage Malick DIDN'T use. Bill Pullman, Lukas Haas, Mickey Rourke and Billy Bob Thornton (narrator) were cut completely out of the movie. A pre-fame Adrian Brody had a much bigger role that was chopped down. Clooney is barely in it (I can't even remember if you hear him speak because I think there's voice over in his one scene).

 

[TheAngryHank]

True romance

Jay and silent Bob strike back.

 

[Duke33]

Haven't read the thread so these probably got mentioned, but here are some personal favorites or ones I remember with ensemble casts/big stars:

-A Bridge too Far
-The Longest Day
-It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World.
-Murder on the Orient Express (the Albert Finney version)
-The Greatest Story Ever Told
-Death on the Nile (Peter Ustinov version)

This came to my mind as well.

I usually hate movies with big name casts - it detracts from the movie.

Give me a couple no name quality actors any day.

 

[Blueblood9]

Came here to say the departed
Director: Scorcese
Matt Damon
Leonardo DiCaprio
Jack Nicholson
Mark Wahlberg
Martin Sheen
Anthony Anderson
Alec Baldwin

 

[NJDevs26]

Probably not as big an ensemble as some named (like JFK) but Cop Land randomly had some pretty big names including a few pre-Sopranos characters in support roles

Cop Land (1997) - Cast - IMDb

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Movie 43

Movie 43 (2013) - Full Cast & Crew - IMDb

 

[ArGarBarGar]

Longest Day and A Bridge too Far have some of the most absurd star power I have ever seen in a movie.

Also I always found it funny growing up how everyone knew Anthony Hopkins from Silence of the Lambs where I had only seen Bridge too Far so that was the first role I knew him from.

 

[Hat Trick Wizard]

All of the disaster movies were filled with the biggest stars of the day.

The Dead Don't Die is a recent Indie that has a exceptionally well-known cast for a small production.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Tombstone is also pretty loaded for being a non ensemble movie.

Kurt Russell
Val Kilmer
Sam Elliott
Bill Paxton
Charlton Heston
Robert Mitchum
Billy Bob Thornton
Michael Rooker
Billy Zane
Jason Priestley
Frank Stallone
Powers Boothe
Michael Biehn
Stephen Lang

 

[Datsyukian Deke]

The Great Escape.

 

[Sakicfan]

How The West Was Won is difficult to beat:

James Stewart
John Wayne
Henry Fonda
Gregory Peck
Lee J. Cobb
Spencer Tracy
Debbie Reynolds
Eli Wallach
Richard Widmark
Lee Van Cleef
Harry Dean Stanton
Caroll Baker
Walter Brennan
Carolyn Jones
Karl Malden
George Peppard
Robert Preston
David Brian
Andy Devine
Raymond Massey
Agnes Moorehead
Harry Morgan
Thelma Ritter
Russ Tamblyn

That's a total of 11 Oscar wins, 49 Oscars nominations, 3 Emmy Awards wins, 39 Emmy awards nominations and 15 stars on the Walk of Fame. The film is also directed by John Ford (4 Oscars wins, 5 Oscars nominations) and Henry Hathaway (1 Oscar nomination).

 

[End on a Hinote]

The Departed was pretty loaded.

DiCaprio
Damon
Nicholson
Wahlberg
Baldwin
Martin Sheen
Vera Farmiga

As much as I liked The Departed it felt like forced Oscar bait that succeeded.
