It's Heat.

End thread.

Heat's was great, fair point.  But it was a narrow cast aside from the crew and Pacino.  Anybody else in it was easily replaceable.  Henry Rollins was cool but not exactly critical to the casting.  But good nomination.

Sneakers had a solid lineup

Pardon the pun, but that was a "sneaky" good cast.  Everybody in the main crew was at their acting peak, plus Kingsley and James Earl Jones.  Such an underrated film.  A few weak spots in terms of cast but even relatively unknown Buddy Wallace character still gets me every time when Bishop/Redford says "they found out my parents were married"...and he comes charging from off-camera at him.  I still crack up at the scene and the brilliant timing of he and the cameraman.

There are 10+ great actors/actresses right there

10 is pushing it, but you're right...it's a better overall cast than I remember.  I completely forgot Natalie Portman was in that movie.  I have a lot of mental blockage of the film since Danny Trejo took a leak next to me at Uchiko and scared the living shit out of me.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High.  5 future Oscar winners plus Stu Nahan.

That's pretty fucking crazy to think about.  Plus Sonny Davis, a Texas legend.  Plus Dimone who went on to play Taxi Driver #2 in a 2014 episode of CSI

Sean Penn, Cameron Crowe (does he count in this case?), Forest Whittaker, Nick Cage, and I think Jennifer Jason Leigh won one for supporting.  I probably have that wrong and not looking it up.  And why does Danny Elfman keep coming up in my life this week?

You're right.  Four nominations for Elfman

 

Cast: Sean Penn, Nicholas Cage, Forest Whitaker, Jennifer Jason Leigh

Fucking no-talent assclown, Jenna.  

Glengarry Glen Ross is a good pick.  Other than the core office guys plus Baldwin and Pryce, only 2 or 3 other speaking roles in the whole film and their bit parts.  Although Mr. takahashi from Curb has a tiny role.
