October 25, 20232 yr It's Midway vs. Mad Mad World, right? It's gotta be. What was better than those two? Godfather Part 2
October 25, 20232 yr the credits from avengers: endgame make a fairly compelling argument. and a whole bunch of oscars. love the player, but those are mostly cameos.
October 25, 20232 yr 41 minutes ago, rage-a-holic said: It's Heat. End thread. Heat's was great, fair point. But it was a narrow cast aside from the crew and Pacino. Anybody else in it was easily replaceable. Henry Rollins was cool but not exactly critical to the casting. But good nomination. 4 minutes ago, KaiserSoze said: Sneakers had a solid lineup Pardon the pun, but that was a "sneaky" good cast. Everybody in the main crew was at their acting peak, plus Kingsley and James Earl Jones. Such an underrated film. A few weak spots in terms of cast but even relatively unknown Buddy Wallace character still gets me every time when Bishop/Redford says "they found out my parents were married"...and he comes charging from off-camera at him. I still crack up at the scene and the brilliant timing of he and the cameraman.

October 25, 20232 yr 10 is pushing it, but you're right...it's a better overall cast than I remember. I completely forgot Natalie Portman was in that movie. I have a lot of mental blockage of the film since Danny Trejo took a leak next to me at Uchiko and scared the living shit out of me.
October 25, 20232 yr Mad Mad World is pretty strong but I think the cast for The Longest Day gives Midway a good run for being just as deep....( I like HG's response with A Bridge Too Far, but I think TLD has more world talent overall)
October 25, 20232 yr Dazed and Confused has to be up there for identifying talent before they became leads in other films. Oceans 11 and its sequels but putting together an all star team was kind of the point (not too dissimilar from mad mad world).

October 25, 20232 yr 5 minutes ago, Upgrayedd said: Fast Times at Ridgemont High. 5 future Oscar winners plus Stu Nahan. That's pretty fucking crazy to think about. Plus Sonny Davis, a Texas legend. Plus Dimone who went on to play Taxi Driver #2 in a 2014 episode of CSI

October 25, 20232 yr Sean Penn, Cameron Crowe (does he count in this case?), Forest Whittaker, Nick Cage, and I think Jennifer Jason Leigh won one for supporting. I probably have that wrong and not looking it up. And why does Danny Elfman keep coming up in my life this week?

October 25, 20232 yr Since we're talking about cast, Crowe doesn't count. Edited October 25, 20232 yr by dcbc
October 25, 20232 yr and elfman didn't win for anything. i'm still counting 3 (in the cast). 4 if we're counting crowes. see what i did?
October 25, 20232 yr 8 minutes ago, dcbc said: Danny Elfman nominated 4 times by the Academy. No wins

Four nominations for Elfman Cast: Sean Penn, Nicholas Cage, Forest Whitaker, Jennifer Jason Leigh Edited October 25, 20232 yr by dcbc
October 25, 20232 yr Fucking no-talent assclown, Jenna. Glengarry Glen Ross is a good pick. Other than the core office guys plus Baldwin and Pryce, only 2 or 3 other speaking roles in the whole film and their bit parts. Although Mr. takahashi from Curb has a tiny role.
October 25, 20232 yr Pulp Fiction and Django Unchained have to be on the list, right? and another vote for Boogie Nights.
October 25, 20232 yr Popular Post and since nobody is taking my endgame nomination seriously, here is the list: robert downey jr chris evans mark ruffalo chris hemsworth scarlett johansson jeremy renner don cheadle paul rudd benedict cumberbatch brie larson chadwick boseman tom holland zoe saldana evangeline lilly tessa thompson rene russo elizabeth olsen anthony mackie sebastian stan tom hiddleston john slattery tilda swinton jon favreau hayley atwell natalie portman marisa tomei taika waititi angela bassett michael douglas michelle pfeiffer william hurt cobie smulders linda cardellini vin diesel bradley cooper gwyneth paltrow josh brolin chris pratt samuel l jackson ken jeong carrie coon robert redford this isn't really a competition.
October 25, 20232 yr 4 minutes ago, dcbc said: Cast: Sean Penn, Nicholas Cage, Forest Whitaker, Jennifer Jason Leigh also did not win.
October 25, 20232 yr 6 minutes ago, henrygandorf said: also did not win. Damn it. Nancy Wilson won a community property interest in Cameron Crowe's Oscar.
October 25, 20232 yr oh! i know my winner, i just realized it... LA Confidential just a powerhouse of talent in every scene.
October 25, 20232 yr best cast mailing it in for shitty movie with worse script...any of the Oceans 11/12/13 heist movies
October 25, 20232 yr Just about any Irwin Allen disaster movie from the 70s… along with the Airport series.
