Grumpy Old Men. Obviously you could have cast Jack Lemon and Walter Matthau and nobody else, and had a watchable comedy. But when you add in And Margaret, Ossie Davis and Burgess Meredith in supporting roles the deck is just stacked.

The Usual Suspects. Amazing cast.
What movies had an unusually great cast? I’m watching a documentary on the making of Galaxy Quest called Never Surrender. The cast each brought something unique to the movie, but there was something really rare about them as a collective too. A rough quote; “Tim Allen and Alan Rickman in the same movie shouldn’t work”, is a small example. Despite the visual effects, they could take this movie to the stage with that cast and have no props and still channel the qualities that make it so...
