On March 24, 1984, five high school students entered Saturday morning detention and taught us to never judge a book by its cover. Over the course of one day, the young ensemble cast of “The Breakfast Club” tear down the walls between their disparate characters by dismantling the stereotypes of the American teenager. Collaborating with writer-direct...
The one true answer is so obvious, in the vein of “who’s the greatest English playwright,” that it’s both necessary to respond with the work of the cinema’s greatest Shakespearean—”Citizen Kane,” of course—and to give some different answer to avoid the sin of obviousness. Since Orson Welles’s first feature is the dividing line and the unifying embr...
Among the many great ensemble casts of years past and present, I’m picking French director Laurent Cantet’s 2008 “The Class” (“Entre les murs,” in the original French), in which school teacher François Bégaudeau plays a loosely dramatized version of himself, supported by a fantastic group of younger actors, who are actual students, themselves. In a...
For the 2003 film “Dogville,” Lars von Trier assembled a cast of icons from various eras, with both female and male performers driving the narrative. With its stage setting, the revenge drama looks and feels different than most Hollywood ensemble movies, and the fact that Lauren Bacall and Harriet Andersson have supporting roles, in a 21st century ...
There is an argument to be made for the “Avengers,” but I will not be making it because the greatest ensemble cast of all time is the cast of “Drop Dead Gorgeous”. Any cast that features both Ellen Barkin AND Allison Janney wins by default. “Drop Dead Gorgeous” is a 1999 mockumentary about a small-town teen beauty pageant and almost twenty years la...
Todd Haynes’ “I’m Not There” easily lends itself to a large ensemble, as Bob Dylan was the last great mythology prior to the information age. He’s enigma and mystery if they walked the earth. If you counted his lies, half-truths, and full-truths, you’d find he’d lived several different lives. Haynes saw that potential and cast six actors to play th...
My personal favorite ensemble cast is the one Tarantino assembled for “Inglourious Basterds.” Not only did it round up a few big-namers with Brad Pitt and Diane Kruger, but it introduced me to a slew of fantastic foreign actors I’d never heard of at the time: Micahel Fassbender, Mélanie Laurent, Daniel Brühl, Til Schweiger, August Diehl, and of cou...
Like most movie buffs my age knocking on the door of turning 40, I was (and remain) an undefeated “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” player. My key is going backwards from Bacon instead of forward from the randomly named actor. One of my top go-to starting points contains my answer for this week’s survey. Kevin Bacon is one of 212 speaking parts in Olive...
“It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.” While a number of high-profile stars have a starring or co-starring role, there are an even larger number of stars appearing in the film if only for a mere cameo. It’s one of my favorite comedies of all time and a film of this nature can’t easily be replicated.
To be perfectly honest, this question is overwhelming. There are so many amazing films with outstanding ensemble casts that I couldn’t even begin to pick just one. Therefore, I’m going to put my own spin on the question. My answer is “Movie 43.” Look at this cast — Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Dennis Quaid, Greg Kinnear, Seth MacFarlane, Liev Schrei...

Instead, it shares a cast of characters with (almost) equal screentime and importance to the plot. This is called an Ensemble Cast. This type of narrative is interesting because it highlights the relations between different characters by taking away the importance of a single character.
