After watching a great ensemble cast film recently,
Best in Show, I thought of making a top 10 of my personal favorites in this category. Again, it is so hard to choose, but these are a few that come to mind. They are also in no particular order, since it's so hard to rate them. All great movies only enhanced by such impressive casts.
1. American Hustle
2. Sneakers
3. The Usual Suspects
4. Pulp Fiction
5. Steel Magnolias
6. The Man in the Iron Mask
7. Parenthood
8. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
9. Traffic
10. Reservoir Dogs
Some others in the running were
Good Fellas, Fargo and Glengary Glen Ross. What are some of your favorites?
Great list. But what about Ocean's 11?
ReplyDeleteThat's another great example! I did consider it. These are just my personal absolute favorites. It would definitley fall in my next 10.
DeleteI agree with the above question. I loved Ocean's 11 and it's sequels. There is talk and an Ocean's 14, but we will see. Never saw the bottom one, but my top 5 would be Sneakers, Steel Magnolias, The Man in the Iron Mask, American Hustle and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. I agree that was a great cast and solid movie!
ReplyDeleteI just had a suggestion about The Outsiders. I have to say I forgot about that one. Great example!
ReplyDeleteI voted for the cast of Oceans 11.
ReplyDeleteGood choice Linda! Thanks for voting.
DeleteBTW - Pulp Fiction won in my informal poll of Best Ensemble Film.
ReplyDeleteI picked Aliens, even though, I do agree that The Terminator-Judgment Day was a great movie, my favorite sequel was and still is, Aliens. Loved that movie and have seen it multiple times.
ReplyDeleteSame here. Very intense and exciting with a great cast.
DeleteThanks Mark for your suggestions of The Magnificent Seven and Murder by Death.
