Best Ensemble Cast in a Film - Blu-ray Forum

Jeremy1983 · 01-27-2009, 05:25 PM

Which film do you think has the greatest cast?

Without doing any research, my initial thoughts are the Oceans films. Can't decide on which one.

George Clooney
Brad Pitt
Matt Damon
Don Cheadle
Andy Garcia
Bernie Mac
Elliot Gould
Casey Affleck
Scott Caan
Julia Roberts (11,12)
Al Pacino (13)
Catherine Zeta Jones (12)
Vincent Cassel (12)

What other films have an amazing cast? Cameos not included.

In your opinion.

BStecke · 01-27-2009, 05:34 PM

Departed

DiCaprio
Damon
Baldwin
Sheen
Nicholson
Wahlburg

Not the best, but it's up there.

rebfandan · 01-27-2009, 05:35 PM

I gotta place "Dazed and Confused" up near the top for ensembles:

Jason London
Rory Cochrane
Wiley Wiggins
Michelle Burke
Adam Goldberg
Matthew McConaughey
Marissa Ribisi
Milla Jovovich
Joey Lauren Adams
Ben Affleck
Parker Posey
Renee Zellweger (uncredited, according to IMDB)

This is when they were all unknowns. Now I know some are still kinda unknowns, but look how far McConaughey, Jovovich, Affleck, Posey, and Zellweger have come.

rebfandan · 01-27-2009, 05:36 PM

My God, Godfather and Departed are genius. Way to go.

JamesKurtovich · 01-27-2009, 05:37 PM

Also gotta give some to Lord of the Rings.. Viggo Mortensen, Orlando Bloom, Sir Ian McKellan, Christopher Lee, Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Ian Holm, Liv Tyler, Hugo Weaving, John-Rhys Davies, Sean Bean, etc, etc. Best. Cast. Ever.

That would also be my pick, they all did a wonderful job on that movie

Usual Suspects and Predator would be two others I liked the cast in.
