Yeah that's one of the characteristics of an ensemble pix--an assemblage of 5 or more past, present or future STARS. But this isn't my sandbox so I'm not gonna be a prick about it--hell I'll even let in "The Usual Suspects".

PR,

Your mention of Mad, Mad World made me think of another that I would put in it's category: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

Top Gun

I may be hijacking my own Thread here but how about all those Brat Pack movies of the '80's (Class, St.Elmo's Fire, Oxford Blues) all of which seemed to have Rob Lowe in a co-starring role?

...And the thing about "The Usual Suspects" is that it has enough depth to come back to and catch more of--unusual in the normal fluff flicks. Although "American Graffitti" had this characteristic too.

You guys are coming up with some good ones.... Saw Diner a month or so ago and had forgotten all the guys in that one. Actually was watching Pat Garrett and Billy the K*D this morning on the computer. Great cast of a lot of faces from all the cowboy movies of the 70's.

The Guns of Navarone
The Longest Day

Wow, I Must Be An Old Fart!

Enough great movies mentioned here to keep folks busy for a long while--sure glad I put this one up--never figured it would get this much play...and with no rancor either.

Not the best ever, but had a great director and a largely unknown cast that mostly went on to bigger things.

The Outsiders - 1983
Directed by Francis Ford Coppola

With:
C. Thomas Howell
Matt Dillon
Ralph Macchio
Patrick Swayze
Rob Lowe
Emilio Estevez
Tom Cruise
Diane Lane
Tom Waits (singer)
Sofia Coppola
S.E. Hinton (she wrote the novel)
Leif Garrett (1970s pop star)

Considering the names Dillon, Lowe and Estevez are included, this movie could be considered the first 'Brat Pack' movie since it predates the others.

Immediately afterwards, Coppola filmed another S.E. Hinton book, Rumble Fish, with many of the cast members from the Outsiders.

Rumble Fish - 1983
Directed by Francis Ford Coppola

With:
Matt Dillon
Mickey Rourke
Diane Lane
Dennis Hopper
Vincent Spano
Nicolas Cage
Chris Penn
Laurence Fishburne
Tom Waits
Sofia Coppola
S.E. Hinton

Some great directors seem to always have great ensembles of actors in their films.
