I had a thought last night about The Longest Day having one of the best cast's (As far as star power) ever put together on film and tried to think of another. Can anyone top:

John Wayne
Richard Burton
Henry Fonda
Robert Mitchum
Sean Connery
Robert Ryan - He was a big deal back then
George Segal
Red Buttons
Peter Lawford
and more.....

They were big stars for the time. I had just watched Kelly's Hero's and thought about that cast when the Longest Day came to mind. Honorable mention to A Bridge to Far on cast also.

Just a thought exercise.

You know on second thought that may be a valid comparison for the time.

Godfather is hard to beat. I realize it is a bit in retrospect given that Pacino and some others were early in their careers but

Marlon Brando - 2 AA wins and 6 other nominations
Al Pacino - 1 AA win and 8 other nominations
Diane Keaton - 1 AA win and 3 other noms
Robert Duvall - 1 AA win and 6 other noms
Talia Shire - 2 AA noms, 1 GG nom
James Caan - 1 AA nom, 1 Emmy nom and 3 GG noms

Of course John Cazale was not nominated but appeared in 5 best picture nominated films in about 7 years. And the ensemble is just amazing Sterling Hayden, Richard Castellano, Richard Bright, Al Lettieri, Abe Vigoda, and Alex Rocco.

I suppose something like that if you just mean lots of famous people and not great actors/cast.

Depends what the criteria is.

I think A Bridge Too Far Deserves to be listed

Sean Connery
Laurence Olivier
Anthony Hopkins
Dirk Bogarde
Robert Redford
Gene Hackman
Michael Caine
Ryan O'Neal
Elliott Gould
James Caan
Edward Fox
John Ratzenberger
Many others

Directed by Richard Attenborough (Dr. Hammond of Jurassic Park)

Plus being about Operation Market Garden makes it super interesting war film.

Saving Private Ryan had a lot of well known actors in it, some of them before their careers took off but it's up there for me as far as cast goes.

I love any of Richard Burtons war movies though, don't ask me why but Raid on Rommel was one of my favorite war movies when I was a kid. I watched it as fast as I could get that VHS tape to rewind.
