If you mean while keeping the cast relatively small, Clue ranks right on up there

I don't think anything can touch this for comedy.

But, for star horsepower, it's tough to beat:

The Longest Day
A Bridge Too Far

Or the big disaster films of the 1970s that went out of their way to assemble big names - notably Towering Inferno and Poseidon Adventure.

Let's take The Longest Day as an example and just use medium/large film/TV stars an American audience would recognize:

Don Adams
Eddie Albert
Paul Anka
Richard Beymar
Richard Burton
Red Buttons
Sean Connery
Mark Damon
Fabian
Mel Ferrer
Henry Fonda
Steve Forrest
Bernard Fox
Jeffrey Hunter
Curd Jürgens
Alexander Knox
Peter Lawford
Roddy McDowall
Sal Mineo
Robert Mitchum
Edmond O'Brien
Robert Ryan
Tommy Sands
George Segal
Rod Steiger
Richard Todd
Robert Wagner
Stuard Whitman
John Wayne

(Many before they were stars and certainly before many were big stars, notably Connery in one of his last performances before becoming film's first James Bond.)

an underrated one I feel like is School Ties:

Brendan Fraser
Matt Damon
Chris O'Donnell
Cole Hauser
Ben Affleck
Anthony Rapp

It's not nearly as good as some of these above, but I always like it because it's before any of these guys were "stars"
