Hazed and Amuzed Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 With all the talk of movies lately and the tapping out of certain genre's I thought I would start a thread about movies with great casts. I'll start: The Godfather- Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, James Caan, Diane Keaton.. Apollo 13: Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Ed Harris, Bill Paxton and Gary Sinise A Few Good Men: Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise, Kevin Bacon, Demi Moore, Kiefer Sutherland Any of the Oceans movies.

ajzepp Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Lots of great movies fit this topic. True Romance When they were playing that on cable all the time a year or so ago, I must have watched it ten times. I remember a lot of late nights at the (online) poker tables, cold beer in hand, True Romance on the projector in the background. Yes, I'm embarrassed to admit it, but that was the life! lol

R. Rich Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 The Contender had a pretty good cast and some excellent performances as well.
/dev/null Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Surprised nobody has mentioned The Usual Suspects. May not have been an All-Star cast but was still one helluva great piece of ensemble acting How about The Great Escape: Steve McQueen, James Garner, Steve McQueen, Richard Attenborough, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Steve McQueen, James Coburn, and oh yeah...Steve McQueen
