[Mr. Socko]

Batman Begins
L.O.T.R
Pirates Of The Caribbean: Curse Of The Black Pearl

Too hard to choose between those 3. All had perfect casting.

Oh and Departed too

 

[Speedball]

Out of that list, the Departed has the best cast.
POTC, Sin City, and Star Wars also have the best cast.
Others not listed: Casino Royale, The Bourne Supremacy, Pleasantville and the Fifth Element.

 

[The Dark Defender]

Fellowship. Viggo, Bean and McKellan are three of my favorites, plus I love Lee.

 

[Electrix]

X-Men 2

Patrick Stewart
Halle Berry
Ian Mckellen
Huge Jackman
Famke Janssen
Brian Cox
& more...

 

[The Chairman]

Off the poll, easily The Departed. But there are tons of films that have better casts than any film on that poll that are greatly missing.

 

[BloodyWolverine]

I agree to that its just i figured they were the most popular cast recently going. Many don't really like these 7 movies but the cast were great.

Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves.
Man In the Iron Mask.
Fantastic Four many hated that cast but it worked for me.
Bram Stokers Dracula.
Willow.
The Patriot many dislike this movie but i think its one of Gibsons best films.
The Quick and The Dead. Hackman, Stone, Crowe, Dicaprio.

X2!

The best casts are usually in dramas, comedies or thrillers and those are all (except the godfather and the departed) sci-fi movies.

JFK
The Ten Commandments

Glengarry Glen Ross
It's A Mad, Mad, Mad World

[The Dark Defender]

Off the top of my head, I'd put Hannibal, Braveheart and The Passion of the Christ up there for best ensambles.

 

[The Chairman]

Off the top of my head, I'd put Hannibal, Braveheart and The Passion of the Christ up there for best ensambles.

I wouldn't call any of those ensembles. Ensembles are generally filled rather prestigious names, and the films generally revolve around a different set of characters rather than just one main character.

Braveheart revolves mostly around William Wallace, and outside of Gibson there was no one else that would put it on level with most prestigious ensembles mentioned in this thread.

Hannibal had an impressive lineup, I'll give you that. But the film itself was underwhelming and outside of Hopkins and Moore the rest of the cast had little to do.

The Passion Of The Christ didn't really have any prestigious names and revolved pretty much entirely around Jesus Christ.

 

[Cinemaman]

1. The Departed
2. The Godfather
3. Batman Begins

 

[Carmine Falcone]

One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest is the best cast ever. From the poll either The Godfather or The Departed.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Other: Closer

 

[The Dark Defender]

Braveheart revolves mostly around William Wallace, and outside of Gibson there was no one else that would put it on level with most prestigious ensembles mentioned in this thread.

But still had a rather large cast of characters that were very well developed and gave great performances.

Hannibal had an impressive lineup, I'll give you that. But the film itself was underwhelming and outside of Hopkins and Moore the rest of the cast had little to do.

I loved Oldman, the way Giannini subtlety conveyed his fear while showing that he was trying not to let Lecter know it was great, Liotta played probably the single best egotistical heal ever in a film, not to mention that his performance during the lobotomy(a very awkard thing for an actor to have to convey)sold the sequence more than the effects did.

The Passion Of The Christ didn't really have any prestigious names and revolved pretty much entirely around Jesus Christ.

Monica is a very prestigious name internationally, but I don't really care about prestigious names anyway.
It may have centered on one person, but Morgenstern, Bellucci, Rosalinda Celentano, Histro Naumov Shopov, even the actors playing the Romans and the background players were excellent and completely pulled me into the events of the film.
Ensamble film to me simply means a rather large cast where numerous performances stand out. I couldn't care less how famous they are.

This is really tough. You should have made the poll with multiple options.

I said LOTR, and I'm sticking to it, but The Departed and POTC both had great casts, as did Batman Begins, and Sin City.

Why do these polls exist? There are many great movies in the last 100 some years with amazing casts. American and non. And yet all of these movies save for The Godfather are made in the last 5-10 years and are geek movies for lack of a better word.. Why not Goodfellas over The Departed for Scorcese? Where is Casablanca? What about The Ususal Suspects over X2? The Sting, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Network, It's A Wonderful Life, anything by Hitchcock or Scorsese, Ed Wood, Day For Not, Seven Samurai....

and in the end you cna never pick one because different movies require radically different casts and there can never be jsut one...especially with such limited options and even if you filled out all 25 slots, the options would still be way too extremely limited. So my make these "best of" polls?
