Greatest Movie Ensembles of All-Time

Having watched several great movies this week, most of which I have seen a thousand times before, I started to talk to a buddy about some of the best movie casts ever built.
And no, I am not just talking about movies like New Year's Eve when they shove every single mother humper they can find into a shitty love story with twelve side stories. (Valentine's Day, I am talking about you too.)
I want to see a list of the BEST of them all. Here are a few I came up with on the fly...
Tropic Thunder
Saving Private Ryan
Crash
Ocean's Eleven
Pulp Fiction
The Departed
Boogie Nights
LA Confidential
Heat
Glengary Glenn Ross
Sin City

Sin City is a legit answer. Pt. 2 will be the same way.
When movies try and put together a cast with a ton of stars, it doesn't work out half the time. Bobby for example. You don't have to have William h Macy and Ashton Kuchar for your 8th and 9th most important characters. You're trying too hard.

I think Love Actually should get a vote.

I thought I ended this thread with A Bridge Too Far.
There is no movie that has ever been made that can compete with this list of heavy hitters:
Sean Connery
Ryan O'Neal
Gene Hackman
Michael Caine
Anthony Hopkins
James Caan
Maxamillian Schell
Elliot Gould
Laurence Olivier
Robert Redford
Nothing else even sniffs this list.

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.

Oceans Eleven and the Departed.
Godfather doesn't count, because a lot of the actors sans Brando weren't big names when it came out.

Dirty Dozen
Greatest Story Ever Told *(yeah, the movie wasn't that good but still a good cast. Great lesson in how to misuse one)
Spartacus (Oliver, Douglas, Ustinov, Gavin, Simmons, Tony Curtis)
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
From Here to Eternity (Clift, Sinatra, Lancaster, Borgnine, Warden, whoever that guy that played SHeriff Lobo was, Donna Reed, Irene Dunn)
I'll skip the Godfather movies. Too obvious.And I also don't think movies like Cannonball run should qualify as they were just movies used to throw in every star they could find.
*John Wayne, Sidney Poitier, Charleton Heston, Jose Ferrer, Max Von Sydow, Shelly Winters, Telly Savalas, Roddy McDowell, Caroll Baker, Angela Landsbury, Claude Rains, Martin Landau, Van Heflin, and even Pat Friggin Boone
How many Oscar winners are on that list? I count at least 5

It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Stanley Kramer was turning away comedians who were begging to be in that one.
