I have to admit, I think the movie section is my favorite here, I have a ton to contribute if there is interest. Anyways, can you name any movies with ALOT of star power? Regardless if the movie did well or not. A movie with alot of big names in it. I can name quite a few but won't take ideas away from others. "Armageddon" (1998) comes to mind. A huge cast in that film. Ken

Be Cool comes to mind.
John Travolta, Uma Thurman, James Woods, The Rock, Harvey Keitel, Andre Benjamin, Vince Vaughn, Cedric the Entertainer, Christina Milian....
With cameos by Danny DeVito, Steven Tyler and Aerosmith, The Black Eyed Peas, Anna Nicole Smith, Fred Durst, Gene Simmons, Wyclef Jean, and more.
And personally I thought it was hilarious.

"It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" (1963)is reknowned for that. I don't think the combined star power of that cast has been beat yet.

Ocean's Eleven comes to mind: George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, Elliott Gould...
Since you mentioned Armageddon, Ken, that reminded me of Deep Impact - that one had: Robert Duvall, Morgan Freeman, Téa Leoni, Vanessa Redgrave, Elijah Wood, James Cromwell, Jon Favreau and other maybe not super big but well known actors.
I just thought of another one: The Royal Tenenbaums, with Gene Hackman, Anjelica Huston, Bill Murray, Danny Glover, Ben Stiller, Luke and Owen Wilson, Gwyneth Paltrow, and it is narrated by Alec Baldwin.

First thing that came to my mind was How The West Was Won -- simply scads of stars. Second, Taesma already mentioned, It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World, too many stars to mention individually. And then there is Hotel (1967 version).

The first film that came to my mind was "Around the World in Eighty Days" (1956), with stars from past and present in all sorts of cameo roles.

I think The Longest Day (1962) can stake a legitimate claim to having the most star-power on one strip of celluloid. Where else can you see Eddie Albert, Paul Anka, Richard Beymer, Richard Burton, Red Buttons, Sean Connery, Richard Dawson, Fabian, Mel Ferrer, Henry Fonda, Steve Forrest, Bernard Fox, Gert Fröbe, Jeffrey Hunter, Curt Jürgens, Peter Lawford, Christian Marquand, Roddy McDowall, Sal Mineo, Robert Mitchum, Kenneth More, Edmond O'Brien, Tommy Sands, George Segal, Rod Steiger, Tom Tryon, Robert Wagner, John Wayne, Stuart Whitman, and Georges Wilson in one movie?
