I recently re-watched The Thin Red Line. The cast is unbelievable in that movie. Is there a better cast? (Sorry no women :P ) Maybe The Godfather.
Sean Penn Adrien Brody James Caviezel Ben Chaplin George Clooney John Cusack Woody Harrelson Elias Koteas Jared Leto Nick Nolte John C. Reilly John Savage John Travolta |
Paul Newman .... Butch Cassidy
Robert Redford .... The Sundance Kid |
Heat:
Robert De Niro Al Pacino Val Kilmer Tom Sizemore Jon Voight Diane Venora Amy Brenneman Ashley Judd Mykelti Williamson Wes Studi Ted Levine Natalie Portman Danny Trejo Jerry Trimble William Fichtner Niki Harris Godfather II: Al Pacino Robert De Niro Robert Duvall Talia Shire Diane Keaton Lee Strasberg John Cazale Michael V. Gazzo G.D. Spradlin Troy Donahue Bruno Kirby Richard Bright Dominic Chianese Marlon Brando |
Glengarry Glen Ross
Alec Baldwin Jack Lemmon Kevin Spacey Al Pacino Ed Harris Alan Arkin Jonathon Pryce |
The Glengarry Glenross cast did rock, in a GREAT movie, as did Heat.
Thin Red Line cast was impressive, but that movie like lost me. Just goes to show that a cast alone does not a movie make. Way back when in the days when huge casts were more financially obtainable, remember tha classic war tomes, like "The Longest Day", "The Great Escape" and "Von Ryan's Express", or even "The Dirty Dozen" ? TOO many to even begin to list. I think those days will be hard to ever replicate on the same scale. :ph34r: |

I must be an angry young fightin' man underneath this soft exterior! :P If we can count cameos by dead people as being in the cast.. Dead Men Dont Wear Plaid should get a mention too. *edit: Guns of Navarone might be the one I was thinking of ;-) |

And I don't think in the context of this thread EVERYONE of real note appearing only have small cameos really is in the same zip code. Opti, you got far too much time on your hands dude, but you proved my point... What would THAT cast have cost to assemble at today's prices? Oceans 11 (the remake) also had a REASONABLE cast of MODERN top liners, but hardly in the same class as the others getting guernseys in this thread. I think "The Great Escape" and "A Bridge Too Far" have to get the nod for the depth on international stars - US, British and European. Just my 2c :ph34r: |

Good call!! ---- "Thin Red Line cast was impressive, but that movie like lost me. Just goes to show that a cast alone does not a movie make." Yeah, I agree that the movie is maybe a 3/5 to me. And most of the individuals are in the movie for about 5 minutes. But, still great group as a whole. |
