Films with great ensemble casts...
This minute, I would have to say my favorites would be "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", "The Departed", and "The Hours".

I'm sure I'll think of a few more as the night wears on.

Please share some of your favorites.

16. Seconded
Despite a shallow script (imho) the actors looked like they were having the time of their lives.
