All Star Cast / Live-Action Films

Examples of an All-Star Cast in Live-Action Films.

Franchises with their own pages:

• Marvel Cinematic Universe

---

Individual examples:

• The 1932 film Grand Hotel was probably the first all-star cast film ever, featuring most every star in the MGM stable: Greta Garbo, John and Lionel Barrymore, Joan Crawford, Wallace Beery, Lewis Stone, and Jean Hersholt. It was followed by Spiritual Sequel Dinner at Eight (1933), which featured the Barrymore brothers, Beery, and Hersholt again, as well as Marie Dressler, Jean Harlow, and Billie Burke (Glinda the Good Witch from The Wizard of Oz).
• 1955's Napoléon was quite packed. Take a big name of mid-1950s French acting, and there was a chance that person was in this movie (looking at the page's poster alone, there's three columns of names above the title). For the French cast alone there was Daniel Gélin, Raymond Pellegrin, Michèle Morgan, Sacha Guitry (the director himself), Jeanne Boitel, Pierre Brasseur, Danielle Darrieux, Jacques Dumesnil, Jean Chevrier, Jean Gabin, Jean Marais, a rising Yves Montand, singer Patachou (real name Henriette Ragon), Micheline Presle, Serge Reggiani, Noël Roquevert, Henri Vidal... and some foreign additions such as Erich von Stroheim and Orson Welles.
• Another arguable Spiritual Sequel to Grand Hotel is 1963's The V.I.P.s, starring Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Orson Welles, Maggie Smith^note Retroactively, as it was only her third credited film role, and Margaret Rutherford.
• Robert Altman's Short Cuts, based on several short stories by Raymond Carver, features a seemingly endless cast composed of universally recognizable names: Julianne Moore, Andie MacDowell, Tim Robbins, Jack Lemmon, Anne Archer, Matthew Modine, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Chris Penn, Lili Taylor, Robert Downey Jr., Madeleine Stowe, Peter Gallagher, Frances McDormand, Lily Tomlin, Tom Waits, Buck Henry, Huey Lewis, Lori Singer, Alex Trebek, Lyle Lovett, Fred Ward, Bruce Davison...
• Gosford Park, also directed by Altman, has quite an impressive cast: Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon, Kristin Scott Thomas, Tom Hollander, Jeremy Northam, Bob Balaban, Ryan Phillippe, Stephen Fry, Kelly Macdonald, Clive Owen, Dame Helen Mirren, Eileen Atkins, Emily Watson, Alan Bates, Richard E. Grant, and Sir Derek Jacobi. And those are just SOME of the characters.
• The Cornelius Ryan books The Longest Day and A Bridge Too Far both became films with all-star casts:
  • The Longest Day (1962) - Up to 43 international stars were listed here, including Paul Anka, Richard Burton, Red Buttons, Sean Connery (pre-Bond, and a very small role), Mel Ferrer, Henry Fonda, Leo Genn, Jeffrey Hunter, Alexander Knox, Roddy McDowall, Sal Mineo, Robert Mitchum, Robert Ryan, George Segal, Rod Steiger, Richard Todd (actually playing the Captain he served under on D-Day), Robert Wagner and John Wayne, in addition to a number of French and German/Austrian actors who were already Household Names in their own countries, including Bourvil and future James Bond villains Gert Fröbe and Curd Jürgens.
  • A Bridge Too Far (1977) - Dirk Bogarde, James Caan, Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Denholm Elliott, Edward Fox, Elliott Gould, Gene Hackman, Anthony Hopkins, Hardy Krüger, Ryan ONeal, Laurence Olivier, Robert Redford, Maximilian Schell, Liv Ullmann, and minor roles for John Ratzenberger and Garrick Biggs Hagon.
• How the West Was Won: Jimmy Stewart, Karl Malden, Debbie Reynolds, Gregory Peck, Henry Fonda, Lee J. Cobb, Carroll Baker, George Peppard, John Wayne, Richard Widmark, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach just to name a few.
• Ocean's 11, its remake, and the Steven Soderbergh-directed sequels.
• It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. The tagline was "Everybody who's ever been funny is in it!"
• Rat Race continued this with John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson, Whoopi Goldberg, Seth Green, Jon Lovitz, and Wayne Knight.
• Quentin Tarantino:
  • True Romance manages to cram Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Brad Pitt, Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Gary Oldman, Val Kilmer, Bronson Pinchot and Tom Sizemore into its cast, with James Gandolfini, Samuel L. Jackson and Saul Rubinek playing backup.
  • Four Rooms has Tim Roth as the main character, as well as containing Antonio Banderas, Jennifer Beals, Valeria Golino, Madonna, Ione Skye, Tarantino, Lili Taylor, Marisa Tomei, Tamlyn Tomita, Alicia Witt and Bruce Willis in an uncredited role.
  • Pulp Fiction features, among others: Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Harvey Keitel, Steve Buscemi and Christopher Walken. Even the minor characters are played by character actors such as Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, Frank Whalley, Eric Stoltz, Rosanna Arquette, Ving Rhames, Paul Calderon, Kathy Griffin, and Julia Sweeney.
  • Once Upon a Time in Hollywood rounded up an impressive cast. Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Al Pacino, Tim Roth, Kurt Russell, Michael Madsen, Austin Butler, Dakota Fanning and the late Luke Perry.
• The 1964 film The Yellow Rolls-Royce featured Ingrid Bergman, Rex Harrison, Shirley MacLaine, Omar Sharif, Alain Delon, Art Carney, George C. Scott and Jeanne Moreau.
• Also from 1964, What a Way to Go! starred Shirley MacLaine, Paul Newman, Robert Mitchum, Dean Martin, Gene Kelly and Dick Van Dyke.
• Irwin Allen produced many disaster movies which known for their all-stars.
  • The Towering Inferno with Paul Newman, Steve McQueen (actor), William Holden, Faye Dunaway, Fred Astaire, Robert Vaughn, O. J. Simpson, Susan Blakely, Robert Wagner and Richard Chamberlain.
  • The Poseidon Adventure with Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Red Buttons, Shelley Winters, Leslie Nielsen and Pamela Sue Martin among others.
    • Beyond the Poseidon Adventure brought in Michael Caine, Sally Field, Telly Savalas, Peter Boyle, Karl Malden, and Slim Pickens.
  • The Swarm (1978) starred the likes of Michael Caine, Olivia de Havilland, Patty Duke, Slim Pickens, and Henry Fonda.
• Emilio Estevez's movie Bobby starred Martin Sheen, Anthony Hopkins, Demi Moore, Estevez himself, Sharon Stone, Harry Belafonte, Helen Hunt, Shia LaBeouf, Nick Cannon, etc.
• National Treasure: Nicolas Cage, Diane Kruger, Justin Bartha, Sean Bean, Harvey Keitel, Jon Voight, and Christopher Plummer.
• The 1989-1997 Batman movies got gradually more into this as they went on, until the Continuity Reboot.
  • The Dark Knight Trilogy became probably the best modern use of this. Like Pixar, Christopher Nolan was concerned with casting talent over name. It just happened that a lot of the talent cast were seasoned name actors. Scarecrow and Two-Face probably had the least famous actors cast in the major roles (Cillian Murphy and Aaron Eckhart, respectively), but again, it was their talent.
    • Batman Begins: Christian Bale, Katie Holmes, Gary Oldman, Cillian Murphy, Liam Neeson, Michael Caine, Tom Wilkinson, Morgan Freeman;
    • The Dark Knight adds Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, and Maggie Gyllenhaal (replacing Katie Holmes).
    • The Dark Knight Rises adds Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Marion Cotillard, and Burn Gorman.
• The X-Men Film Series; X-Men: Days of Future Past starred ten Oscar nominees/winners:
  • From the original trilogy: Patrick Stewart as present day Professor X, Ian McKellen as present day Magneto, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Elliot Page as Kitty Pryde, Halle Berry as present day Storm, James Marsden (as Cyclops), Famke Janssen (as Jean Grey), and Kelsey Grammer (as the older Beast) and Anna Paquin as Rogue. At the end of 'X-Men: Days of Future Past James Marsden (as Cyclops), Famke Janssen (as Jean Grey), and Kelsey Grammer (as the older Beast) all made a cameo, as well as Anna Paquin as Rogue for three seconds.
  • From First Class: James McAvoy as Charles Xavier, Michael Fassbender as Magneto, and Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique.
  • New additions: Peter Dinklage as Bolivar Trask, Sophie Turner as the young Jean Grey, and Chinese superstar Fan Bingbing as Blink.
• Cult hit fantasy Stardust featured an astonishing number of A-List actors for a relatively low budget film; Claire Danes, Michelle Pfeiffer, Robert De Niro, Ricky Gervais, Mark Strong, Peter O'Toole, Sienna Miller, Ian McKellen, Nathaniel Parker, as well as Charlie Cox, Henry Cavill and Ben Barnes before they became famous.
• Most adaptations of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, in part because there are so many characters to work with and most don't appear onscreen for extended periods of time.
  • Tim Burton did Alice in Wonderland (2010) in this way: Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry, Michael Sheen, Timothy Spall, and Christopher Lee. Mia Wasikowska, who plays the title character, was not as well known prior to this film.
• Several Agatha Christie adaptations, such as Murder on the Orient Express (1974), which had the Tagline "The Who's Who in the Whodunit!"
  • The 2017 remake wasn't far behind, with Kenneth Branagh, Johnny Depp, Penélope Cruz, Michelle Pfeiffer, Judi Dench, and Derek Jacobi among others.
• Murder by Death: Peter Sellers, Alec Guinness, David Niven, Maggie Smith, James Coco and Peter Falk to name a few.
• Clue has Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Martin Mull, Lesley Ann Warren, Michael McKean, Eileen Brennan, Lee Ving, Colleen Camp, and a cameo by Jane Wiedlin.
• The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) is an interesting case: most of the A and B-list actors are in supporting and cameo roles, many because they asked to be in the film in some capacity. Most infamously, John Wayne appears as a Roman centurion at the crucifixion.
• The Great Escape, starring Steve McQueen (actor), Charles Bronson, James Coburn. Oh and of course Richard Attenborough, Donald Pleasence, James Garner, David McCallum and many more...
• Just about every adult in the Harry Potter films is played by a renowned British character actor. Try to find a decently-budgeted, British movie made within the last twenty years which doesn't include at least one actor who appeared in the Potter series. In fact, actor Bill Nighy once quipped that he played Rufus Scrimgeour in the seventh film because he didn't want to be "the only actor in England to not appear in a Harry Potter film".
• Several pop/rock musicals of the 1970s went out of their way to bring in as many music and/or movie stars as possible, even if many of them only got one song/scene as a result: see Tommy, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and The Wiz.
• The Blues Brothers and Blues Brothers 2000 played this trope for blues musicians.
  • A Song Is Born did the same with swing musicians.
• To most of the world, Baz Luhrmann's Australia stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, supported by David Wenham, Ben Mendelsohn and a bunch of nobodies. Inside Australia itself, it is considered an amazing star-studded extravaganza, where even tiny roles are filled by locally-renowned stars such as Bruce Spence and John Jarrat.
• Kenneth Branagh's Shakespeare films:
  • Hamlet threw in a bunch of flashbacks and imagine spots in order to have more parts to cast stars in. Apart from Branagh himself: Derek Jacobi, Julie Christie, Kate Winslet, Timothy Spall, Billy Crystal, Robin Williams, BRIAN BLESSED!!!!!, Gérard Depardieu, John Gielgud, Judi Dench, Charlton Heston, Jack Lemmon, and Sir Richard Attenborough.
  • Much Ado About Nothing (1993) has (besides Branagh himself) Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington, Michael Keaton, Keanu Reeves, Robert Sean Leonard, Kate Beckinsale and BRIAN BLESSED!!!!!.
  • Henry V (1989 version) has Derek Jacobi, Judi Dench, Emma Thompson, Robert Stephens, Paul Scofield, Ian Holm, Christian Bale and BRIAN BLESSED!!!!!.
• The remake of The Stepford Wives has Nicole Kidman, Matthew Broderick, Glenn Close, Bette Midler, Christopher Walken and Faith Hill.
• Speaking of Shakespeare, Branagh's only Shakespeare film that he didn't direct is Othello (1995), which nonetheless stars him alongside Laurence Fishburne and Nathaniel Parker. Retroactively for Michael Sheen, who debuted in this film, but is much better known these days. At the time Irene Jacob was still riding high from the momentum of Three Colors Red.
• Mars Attacks! is an almost ridiculous example. Jack Nicholson (who gets two major roles), Glenn Close, Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan, Danny DeVito, Martin Short, Sarah Jessica Parker, Michael J. Fox, Tom Jones (as himself), Lukas Haas, Natalie Portman, Pam Grier, Jack Black, Christina Applegate, Rod Steiger, — and Frank Welker voicing the Martians. All under the direction of Tim Burton.
• Love Actually has been described as heaven for Anglophiles.
• Both of the Steve Martin Pink Panther films are dripping with name talent: Martin himself, Kevin Kline, John Cleese, Andy García, Lily Tomlin, Jean Reno, Beyoncé ... in fact love interest Nicole Nuveau is probably the only major character played by a non-name.
• Paul Thomas Anderson's earlier movies. Boogie Nights and Magnolia both feature large casts with lots of big names. Some of the supporting players (John C. Reilly, Don Cheadle, and most notably Philip Seymour Hoffman) have even become bankable (or at the very least, highly respected) leading men since.
• Basquiat: Jeffrey Wright, Benicio del Toro, Gary Oldman, Dennis Hopper, Willem Dafoe, David Bowie (as Andy Warhol!), Claire Forlani, Christopher Walken, Courtney Love, Parker Posey, and Tatum O'Neal. For the character-actor inclined among us, there's also Michael Wincott, Rockets Redglare, Michael Badalucco and a cameo from pre-name Sam Rockwell.
• Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula does sport an amazing array of big names. Gary Oldman as the Count is just the tip of the iceberg. Anthony Hopkins plays vampire slayer Van Helsing, with Winona Ryder as Mina Harker, and Keanu Reeves as Jonathan Harker (a part that Coppola planned to give Johnny Depp before the studio intervened). The supporting cast has Cary Elwes, Tom Waits, Richard E. Grant, Billy Campbell, and a brief appearance by a VERY nude Monica Bellucci.
• In 1983, The Outsiders was a pretty big deal, what with C. Thomas Howell, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Tom Cruise, Leif Garrett, Tom Waits, a twelve year-old Sofia Coppola, S.E. Hinton herself as a nurse and Diane Lane as Cherry Valance! Though for most of those first 7, it was very early in their careers, so this is much more of a Retroactive Recognition, but many of them weren't that famous at the time (Howell and Cruise - 2 prior total appearances, bit parts for Swayze). Actually the best known (of the first seven) may have been Macchio for his role in Eight is Enough.
• The movie adaptation of the musical Nine (Musical): The lead male role was originally offered to Javier Bardem, who turned it down and was subsequently replaced by Daniel Day-Lewis, thus providing perhaps the only instances where NOT putting Javier Bardem in your movie was the better choice. It also stars Marion Cotillard, Penélope Cruz, Judi Dench, Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, Sophia Loren, and... Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas.
• The Scream movies certainly count, particularly the second one, which features performances by Jada Pinkett, Omar Epps, Liev Schreiber, Courteney Cox, Buffy Summers herself, David Arquette, Neve Campbell, Timothy Olyphant, Portia de Rossi, Laurie Metcalf, Jerry O'Connell and of course Jamie Kennedy.
  • Scream 3 has well known actors in even the relatively small roles (Carrie Fisher, Patrick Dempsey, Lance Henriksen, Kevin Smith, Parker Posey, Jenny McCarthy, Patrick Warburton) along side the already star-studded main cast.
• The House of the Spirits has Jeremy Irons, Winona Ryder, Meryl Streep, Antonio Banderas, Glenn Close, Vanessa Redgrave and Maria Conchita Alonso.
• And then there's The Shootist. When word got out that John Wayne was doing what everyone assumed would be his final movie, people were nearly begging for parts. Wayne personally selected Lauren Bacall for the female lead, with Ron Howard and Jimmy Stewart in the two main supporting roles. Presumably the director was too scared of John Carradine to ask him to leave. Harry Morgan shows up for two scenes, Scatman Crothers for one. Richard Boone and Hugh O'Brian were also smuggled onto the set. Ricky Nelson is also shown briefly in flashback (actually a clip from Rio Bravo).
• Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. *Deep breath* Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman, Alan Rickman, Christian Slater, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and Michael McShane. Less highly billed were BRIAN BLESSED!!!!!, Michael Wincott, and Sean Connery (in a cameo that stole the movie).
• Mamma Mia! starred Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Julie Walters, Christine Baranski, Stellan Skarsgård, Colin Firth and Amanda Seyfried.
• The Monuments Men: George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Jean Dujardin, Bob Balaban, Hugh Bonneville, and Cate Blanchett
• The Thin Redline, because Terrence Malick spent 20 years away, and almost any male in Hollywood wanted to be a part of his new movie. Many (Gary Oldman, Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Sheen...) even had to be cut!
• Saving Private Ryan has many famous faces, and others who became famous after the movie (such as Vin Diesel, Daniel Faraday, and Nathan Fillion).
• The Expendables: Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Terry Crews, and cameos by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis. Most of the trailers didn't even show any hint of the premise - listing the male leads with brief shots of them in action was enough. The first sequel also includes Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Liam Hemsworth, and the third movie includes Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, Antonio Banderas, Wesley Snipes, and Kelsey Grammer, along with professional boxer Victor Ortiz and UFC champion Ronda Rousey.
• The Hairspray musical movie. Zac Efron, Christopher Walken, John Travolta, Amanda Bynes, Queen Latifah, Brittany Snow, Michelle Pfeiffer, James Marsden... in short, every major character, with the ironic exception of the main character, played by Nikki Blonsky.
• Anaconda, with Jon Voight, Owen Wilson, Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Eric Stoltz, Kari Wührer, Jonathan Hyde, and a cameo by Danny Trejo, with only one or two other actors in the whole thing.
• The Hollywood Revue of 1929 was created by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as a showcase for its stars in order to introoduce them to audiences in the talking film format. Thus it features almost every star in the MGM stable, including Lionel Barrymore, John Gilbert, Joan Crawford, Buster Keaton, and Laurel and Hardy.
• The little-known superhero move The Meteor Man features a wide list of famous African-American actors.
• The 1994 remake of The Little Rascals showcased tons of cameos of well known child and adult actors.
• Kevin Smith's Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back certainly counts. Not counting Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith, you have Shannon Elizabeth, Eliza Dushku, Will Ferrell, Ali Larter, George Carlin, Chris Rock, Jamie Kennedy, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Diedrich Bader, Alanis Morissette, Seann William Scott, Judd Nelson, Jason Biggs, James Van Der Beek, Jon Stewart, Tracy Morgan, directors Gus Van Sant and Wes Craven, Brian O'Halloran and Jeff Anderson returning as Dante and Randal from Clerks, Adam Corolla cameos in a deleted scene, and Jason Lee, Ben Affleck AND Matt Damon all pulling double duty. Hell, Marvel Editor-In-Chief Joe Quesada even cameos as a horny pizza delivery guy!
• Black Hawk Down: Josh Hartnett, Ewan McGregor, Tom Sizemore, Eric Bana, William Fichtner, Sam Shepard, Jason Isaacs, Orlando Bloom, Tom Hardy.
• The 2016 remake of The Jungle Book has a voice cast that will make your head spin: Idris Elba as Shere Khan, Ben Kingsley as Bagheera, Bill Murray as Baloo, Scarlett Johansson as Kaa, Lupita Nyong'o as Raksha, Giancarlo Esposito as Akela, Jon Favreau as Fred the Pygmy Hog, and Christopher Walken as King Louie.
• Possibly because it's a Biopic incorporating several Real Life all-stars, The Life and Death of Peter Sellers had Geoffrey Rush in the title role, with Emily Watson (as Sellers' first wife), Charlize Theron (as Britt Ekland), Stanley Tucci (as Stanley Kubrick), John Lithgow (as Blake Edwards), Stephen Fry (as a medium Sellers frequently consulted), and Miriam Margolyes (as Sellers' mother) in the key supporting parts. Steve Pemberton and Edward Tudor-Pole had minor roles as his fellow Goons, and supermodel Heidi Klum had a cameo as Ursula Andress.
• Glengarry Glen Ross features Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino, Ed Harris, Alan Arkin, Kevin Spacey, Alec Baldwin, and Jonathan Pryce.
• Species: Ben Kingsley, Alfred Molina, Michael Madsen, Forest Whitaker, Marg Helgenberger, Natasha Henstridge and a very young Michelle Williams.
• The 1956 film version of Around the World in 80 Days (1956) featured David Niven and Shirley MacLaine in the lead roles, and many cameos by celebrities, such as Marlene Dietrich, Buster Keaton, Peter Lorre, Edward R. Murrow, Cesar Romero and Frank Sinatra. This was back when cameo appearances were still a novelty and a big deal.
• The 1942 anthology film Tales of Manhattan features Charles Boyer, Rita Hayworth, Ginger Rogers, Henry Fonda, Charles Laughton, Edward G. Robinson, Paul Robeson, Elsa Lanchester and Cesar Romero.
• The underknown British gangster flick The Hit stars John Hurt and Terence Stamp, features Jim Broadbent in small role, and marks the first film role of Tim Roth, who received a BAFTA nomination for Most Outstanding Newcomer to Film.
• Judgment at Nuremberg. Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster, Maximilian Schell, Richard Widmark, Marlene Dietrich, Werner Klemperer, Judy Garland, William Shatner, and Montgomery Clift.
• Troy. Orlando Bloom, Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Brian Cox, Brendan Gleeson, Sean Bean, Julie Christie and Peter O'Toole. Seriously, it's incredible the star power in it.
• The obscure 1976 made-for-TV movie Victory at Entebbe features Anthony Hopkins, Burt Lancaster, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Dreyfuss, Kirk Douglas, Helen Hayes, and Linda Blair.
• The 1995 adaptation of Sense and Sensibility, starring such British powerhouses as Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Kate Winslet, Hugh Grant, Gemma Jones, Greg Wise, Imelda Staunton, and Hugh Laurie.
• Armageddon (1998): Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, Billy Bob Thornton, Owen Wilson, Michael Clarke Duncan, Steve Buscemi, Keith David and William Fichtner.
• Hook: Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman, Julia Roberts, and Bob Hoskins in the major roles. Dame Maggie Smith has a minor role. Phil Collins, a then-unknown named Gwyneth Paltrow, David Crosby, and Glenn Close (in drag) make cameos, while George Lucas, Carrie Fisher, and Jimmy Buffett play extras.
• The 2010 film Valentine's Day has Ashton Kutcher, Jamie Foxx, Julia Roberts, Shirley MacLaine, Taylor Swift, Kathy Bates, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Anne Hathaway, Bradley Cooper, and about a dozen more.
• Tropic Thunder parodied this in its script, while playing it straight with the casting. Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr., Nick Nolte, Matthew McConaughey and Tom Cruise all had a great time lampooning the things that go along with this.
• The Lord of the Rings. Christopher Lee, Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, Orlando Bloom, Sean Bean, Ian McKellen, John Rhys-Davies, Liv Tyler, plus a reboot for Sean Astin. Oh, plus actors like Elijah Wood and Viggo Mortensen, who became A-list after the movie.
• The 1982 film adaptation of Annie cast its net wide for stage and screen stars to fill the adult roles: Carol Burnett as Miss Hannigan, Albert Finney as Oliver Warbucks, Ann Reinking as Grace, Tim Curry as Rooster, Bernadette Peters as Lily, and Edward Herrmann as FDR (who had already played that president in two acclaimed TV movies in the late 1970s).
• The Prestige is headed by Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Scarlett Johansson, Andy Serkis and David Bowie.
• The Departed: Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin, Ray Winstone, Vera Farmiga.
• Infernal Affairs contains an star-studded cast of Hong Kong actors, with Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Andy Lau, Anthony Wong, and Eric Tsang.
• The 1978 Superman was the original all-star superhero movie. Apart from Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder, there's Gene Hackman, Jackie Cooper, Ned Beatty, Valerie Perrine, and Glenn Ford and Phyllis Thaxter (as the Kents). Susannah York, a pretty well-known British name in the '70s, appears as his mom. And of course, in perhaps the biggest cameo ever, Marlon Brando got top billing as his dad. Terence Stamp has a cameo as General Zod just to set up his role as the primary villain in the second film. Quite a few of these actors have received Oscar nominations and wins.
  • This continues into later installments. Superman III features topflight comedian Richard Pryor as a computer programmer who falls in with a Corrupt Corporate Executive played by Robert Vaughn. The spinoff Supergirl surrounds then-newcomer Helen Slater with Faye Dunaway, Peter O'Toole, Brenda Vaccaro, Peter Cook, and Mia Farrow, all performers comparable to ones in the main franchise.
• The Quick and the Dead. It's damn full of stars, including Sharon Stone as the lead, Gene Hackman as the Big Bad, then Russell Crowe, Lance Henriksen, Leonardo DiCaprio, Gary Sinise, Keith David, and Woody Strode in his final role.
• Inception: Leonardo DiCaprio, Elliot Page, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Caine, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe, Tom Hardy, and Tom Berenger.
• Cloud Atlas. Holy crap. Possibly one of the first movies with an international All-Star Cast, including Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Susan Sarandon, Jim Broadbent, Hugo Weaving, Jim Sturgess, Ben Whishaw, James D'Arcy, Hugh Grant, Bae Doona, Zhou Xun, and Keith David. Maybe the only main actor who's not at least well known in his country of origin is David Gyasi.
• The movie adaptation of Red (2010): Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Mary-Louise Parker, John Malkovich, John C. Reilly, James Remar, Helen Mirren, Julian McMahon, Brian Cox, Ernest Borgnine, Karl Urban and Richard Dreyfuss.
• The First Wives Club. Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton, Stockard Channing, Sarah Jessica Parker, Heather Locklear, Bronson Pinchot, Victor Garber, Stephen Collins, Maggie Smith, and Marcia Gay Harden.
• Grown Ups starring Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider, Kevin James, David Spade, Salma Hayek, Maria Bello and Maya Rudolph.
• The documentary America: The Story of the U.S. interviewed various celebrities from Meryl Streep to Bill Gates to Brian Williams to the co-founder of Wikipedia.
• Sneakers , to an almost ridiculous extent. Robert Redford as the lead, Ben Kingsley as the Anti-Villain, and a supporting cast featuring Sidney Poitier, Dan Aykroyd, David Strathairn, Mary McDonnell, and River Phoenix — plus a One-Scene Wonder appearance by James Earl Jones.
• Hot Fuzz has roughly as many famous British and Irish actors as the average Harry Potter movie (indeed, with much crossover between them). Throw in Peter Jackson and Cate Blanchett for good measure.
• Waiting to Exhale, starring Whitney Houston, Lela Rochon, Angela Bassett, and Loretta Devine. Also features Dennis Haysbert, Gregory Hines, and Wesley Snipes (in an Uncredited Role). Also directed by Forest Whitaker.
• Shanghai, which features a mix of big-name actors from both Hollywood and Asian cinema, including John Cusack, Chow Yun-fat, Gong Li, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Franka Potente and David Morse.
• Yellowbeard (1983), a pirate comedy, had Graham Chapman in the title role and a colorful lineup of comic and character actors supporting him: in alphabetical order, Peter Boyle, Cheech & Chong, John Cleese, Peter Cook, Marty Feldman, Michael Hordern, Eric Idle, Madeline Kahn, Kenneth Mars, James Mason, Spike Milligan, and Beryl Reid. And an unbilled cameo by David Bowie!
• The Faculty provides a strange example. Several of the adult actors were already well-known at the time, including Jon Stewart, Robert Patrick, Salma Hayek, Famke Janssen, Piper Laurie, Bebe Neuwirth, Christopher McDonald, and Daniel von Bargen. The students' actors were largely unknown at this point, but many went on to bigger and better things, such as Elijah Wood, Josh Hartnett, Usher, Jordana Brewster, Clea Duvall, and Laura Harris.
• Most, if not all of Tyler Perry's movies, have quite a few stars in them, even if they are just cameo roles.
• The 1988 comedy Working Girl has an All-Star Cast retroactively. The only big stars in the film at the time were Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver, but the movie also has Melanie Griffith as the lead, Alec Baldwin, Kevin Spacey, Oliver Platt, David Duchovny, Ricki Lake, Olympia Dukakis, and Saturday Night Live alumna Joan Cusack and Nora Dunn, in roles of varying size.
• Machete: We got Danny Trejo, Steven Seagal, Robert De Niro, Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica Alba, Jeff Fahey, Don Johnson, Cheech Marin and Lindsay Lohan.
  • The sequel, Machete Kills adds Charlie Sheen, Lady Gaga, Antonio Banderas, Mel Gibson, Cuba Gooding Jr., Amber Heard, and Sofía Vergara.
• The Raven (1963): Vincent Price and Peter Lorre battle Boris Karloff. Retroactively, Peter Lorre's son is Jack Nicholson. This being a Roger Corman film, that's literally a 40% star cast.
• Eve's Bayou has Samuel L. Jackson, Lynn Whitfield and Meagan Good in starring roles, as well as minor roles for Diahann Carroll and Victoria Rowell.
• Outbreak is Dustin Hoffman - assisted by Cuba Gooding Jr., and formerly married to Rene Russo who's now with Kevin Spacey - vs Donald Sutherland and Morgan Freeman (who eventually switches sides and has Sutherland arrested by Dale Dye) in trying to manage a virus brought into the country by Patrick Dempsey.
• Heat: Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer, Natalie Portman, Jon Voight, Tom Sizemore, Ashley Judd, Amy Brenneman, Hank Azaria, Jeremy Piven and Henry Rollins. In the recognizable faces category, there's William Fichtner, Wes Studi, Danny Trejo, Tone Lōc and Ted Levine.
• Ed Wood: Johnny Depp, Martin Landau, Bill Murray, Sarah Jessica Parker, Lisa Marie, George "The Animal" Steele and Patricia Arquette.
• Noises Off starring Michael Caine, Carol Burnett, Christopher Reeve, John Ritter, Marilu Henner, Julie Hagerty, Denholm Elliott, Mark-Linn Baker and Nicollette Sheridan.
• The 2007 movie version of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street boasted Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall, and Sacha Baron Cohen.
• Gramps Is in the Resistance: The cast is pretty much a Who's Who of French comedic actors in the early 1980s, from the older generation (Jean Carmet, Michel Galabru, Jean Yanne, Roger Carel) and the then-new (the Splendid' theatre troupe of French Fried Vacation and Santa Claus Is a Stinker fame - Christian Clavier, Gérard Jugnot, Thierry Lhermitte, Josiane Balasko, Martin Lamotte, Michel Blanc, Dominique Lavanant, plus Jacqueline Maillan, Jacques Villeret, Roland Giraud), and then some other famous names in cameos (Julien Guiomar, Jacques François, Jean-Claude Brialy, Bernard Giraudeau). Producer Christian Fechner explained he wanted to give the film "an air of The Longest Day" (which is referred to in the tagline that says the film "cost more than the Normandy Landings") with such a massive cast in order to compensate for the passing of the superstar he originally intended for it, Louis de Funès.
• The 1964 concert film T.A.M.I. Show had a lineup of the biggest musical artists at the time perform one right after another on the same stage including: Chuck Berry, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Marvin Gaye, Lesley Gore, Jan and Dean, The Beach Boys, The Supremes, James Brown and the Famous Flames and The Rolling Stones. A young Teri Garr is even one of the go go dancers in the back.
• Small Soldiers: David Cross, Jay Mohr, Denis Leary, Kirsten Dunst, and Phil Hartman all appear live, plus Tommy Lee Jones, Frank Langella, Ernest Borgnine, Jim Brown, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Christina Ricci and all three members of Spinal Tap (Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer) do voice work.
• The cast list of 2011 film Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy boasts Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, John Hurt, Toby Jones, Mark Strong, Benedict Cumberbatch and Ciarán Hinds, not to mention Konstantin Khabensky who's very well known in Russia. The star power is almost blinding.
• In the film Contagion (2011), Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law, Bryan Cranston and Marion Cotillard all play large roles. On top of that, there are several moments of recognition of lesser-known actors, including appearances by Demetri Martin, John Hawkes, Enrico Colantoni and Elliott Gould.
