Based on pure Star Power, I gotta put Ocean’s 11 at #1. It has arguably 5 of the 10 biggest stars in the world. Not a fan of Sneakers up there. Also would’ve included Pulp Fiction and Copland, which is highly under-rated!

And also: What about “Mystery Men”? Even if you hated the movie, you’re talking about William H. Macy, Ben Stiller, Janeane Garofalo, Paul “Pee Wee Herman” Reubens, Kel “Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger” Mitchell, Hank Azaria, comedian Eddie Izzard, Greg Kinnear AND Geoffrey Rush in ONE MOVIE!

Love Actually
…because every British person is in it and it’s irresistibly charming.

Mystic River
…because it’s two Academy Award winning performances are just the beginning.

Into the Wild
…because even if the stars pop up for only a second, they bolster the movie in some beautiful kind of way

…are we confusing ensemble with star studded?

I wouldn’t say that Towering Inferno was an ensemble piece. To me ‘ensemble’ is a cast with close interaction throughout the film and not just an impressive list otherwise the concept becomes meaningless.Reservoir Dogs, The Usual Suspects and Young Guns yes. Pulp Fiction, Heat and Tombstone no.

anyway my favourites that haven’t already been mentioned are…

The Thing
The Goonies
44 Inch Chest (review on the blog tomorrow)

It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World” , with Spencer Tracy, Mickey Rooney, Buddy Hackett, Jim Backus, Phil Silvers, Milton Berle, Terry Thomas, Jonathan Winters, Rochester, Joe E. Brown, Don Knotts, Peter Falk, Buster Keaton, Carl Reiner, Jack Benny, Jimmy Durante, Jerry Lewis, Bob Hope, Edie Adams, Dorothy Provine, Ethel Merman and The Three Stooges … and it’s funny, and it has a serious point … top that.

Mikey and I agree — no love for “Pulp Fiction”? How about “Reservoir Dogs”? Or how about some oldies, like “The Breakfast Club” or — this is reaching waaaaaay back — “12 Angry Men”?

Sneakers = classic! Love that movie.

12 Angry Men would be my pick: Henry Fonda, Jack Warden, Lee J. Cobb, Martin Balsam, Ed Begley…

I’d also add another vote for Glengary Glen Ross.
