[hot rod]

Pineapple Express is definitely number one on my list. I think it had the best collection of comedy actors in one film. Craig Robinson, Danny McBride, Seth Rogen, James Franco, Bill Hader, and Gary Cole. I really can't think of a comedy with a more loaded cast, besides maybe Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

The Avengers would be on my list if Edward Norton was still Hulk. Downey and Norton would have been awesome together.

[Toe]

I think Love, Actually has a great cast as well. That is a fun movie.

[Guest mr. potato head]

Burn After Reading came to mind immediately for me.

[QCKing]

The Dark Knight, definitely. Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman, the list goes on and is extremely good.

[Summers]

The Departed has a fantastic cast.

[GoGo Yubari]

Burn After Reading came to mind immediately for me.

That is a really good one. Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, John Malkovich, Richard Jenkins, J.K. Simmons... that's pretty fantastic top to bottom.

THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS

Directed by Wes Anderson

Gene Hackman

Anjelica Huston

Gwyneth Paltrow

Ben Stiller

Luke Wilson

Owen Wilson

Bill Murray

Danny Glover

Kumar Pallana

[Jimmy]

LA Confidential - Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, Danny Devito, James Cromwell, Ron Rifkin. Or maybe it's just my soft spot for anything and everything Kevin Spacey.

And Batman Begins, for the same reasons as The Dark Knight, but with 100% more Cillian Murphey and Liam Neeson.

[METALMAN]

Harry Potter. srsly/

[GoGo Yubari]

Oh, yeah, absolutely. The adult cast in the Harry Potter series is incredible.

[Baddar]

Machete!

[LL!]

And Batman Begins, for the same reasons as The Dark Knight, but with 100% more Cillian Murphey and Liam Neeson.

Cillian Murphy was in The Dark Knight.

[Animal]

First one that came to mind is Goodfellas, such a perfect cast for that movie

Ray Liotta

Robert De Niro

Joe Pesci

Lorraine Bracco

Paul Sorvino

The small parts of Tony Darrow, Samuel L. Jackson, Kevin Corrigan and Michael Imperioli are great aswell.

[Josh]

Have to repeat the mentions of The Departed and The Royal Tenenbaums. On that note, add The Life Aquatic.

This one may be a bit more controversial, but Magnolia is the first thing that comes to mind in this category.

Also? Basically anything the Coen Brothers have ever done. O Brother, Where Art Thou?, No Country For Old Men, The Big Lebowski, Ladykillers, etc.

[GoGo Yubari]

Magnolia has a great fucking cast. I think it's one of the most overrated movies of the '90s but that cast is stellar top to bottom.

[Skummy]

Harry Potter. srsly/

This. I can't stand Harry Potter, because the whole concept just doesn't appeal to me in the slightest, but the cast for the movies is insanely strong.

[Josh]

Magnolia has a great fucking cast. I think it's one of the most overrated movies of the '90s but that cast is stellar top to bottom.

I feel ya. It's one of my favorite films, but I completely acknowledge that it's kinda up its own ass and even inspired other films to get up their asses.

That said, William H. Macy! Julianne Moore! John C. Reilly! JASON GODDAMN ROBARDS.

While it's not the only reason, the biggest reason I love Magnolia is the fucking cavalcade of strong performances.

[brenchill]

Glengarry Glen Ross is a strong candidate. That has such a great ensemble.
