Continuing the theme of Inception, which, apparently, is my topic for the evening, in my life I have seen a Cast as perfect as this movie. What I began to investigate and inquire about good movies with at least 4 players first. Here we go:
Sin City (Clive Owen, Bruce Willis, Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Benicio Del Toro, Michael Clarke Duncan, Rutger Hauer, Mickey Rourke, Elijah Wood, Tommy Flanagan) - Director (s) : Frank Miller, Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino - IMDB Rating: 8.3 (# 95 of top 250) - RottenTomatoes Rating: 75% (Visually groundbreaking and terrifically violent.)
Pulp Fiction (John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Roth, Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman, Christopher Walken) - Director(es): Quentin Tarantino - IMDB Rating: 8.9 (#5 del Top 250) - Rottentomatoes Rating: 94%
Jackie Brown (Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton, Robert De Niro, Chris Tucker)- Director(es): Quentin Tarantino - IMDB Rating: 7.6 - Rottentomatoes Rating: 85% (Tarantino's third film, fashioned as a comeback vehicle for star Pam Grier, offers typical wit and charm -- and is typically overstuffed.)
Saving Private Ryan (Tom Hanks, Vin Diesel, Matt Damon, Paul Giamatti) - Director(es): Steven Spielberg - IMDB Rating: 8.5 (#45 del Top 250) - Rottentomatoes Rating: 91% (Anchored by another winning performance from Hanks, Spielberg's unflinchingly realistic war film virtually redefines the genre.)
The Departed (Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Vera Farmiga, Alec Baldwin) - Director(es): Martin Scorserse - IMDB Rating: 8.5 (#50 del Top 250) - Rottentomatoes Rating: 92% (The Departed is a thoroughly engrossing gangster drama with the gritty authenticity and soupy morality that has infused director Martin Scorceses past triumphs. Featuring outstanding work from an excellent cast that includes Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Matt Damon, some critics say the film even tops its source material (the Hong Kong thriller Infernal Affairs). The Departedmarks a triumphant return to form for Scorsese; it's his best-reviewed film since GoodFellas.)
Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Terrence Howard, Jeff Bridges) - Director(es): Jon Favreau - IMDB Rating: 8.0 - Rottentomatoes Rating: 93% (Director Jon Favreau and star Robert Downey make this smart, high impact superhero movie one that even non-comics fans can enjoy.)
Iron Man 2 (Robert Downey Jr., Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sam Rockwell, Mickey Rourke, Samuel L. Jackson) - Director(es): Jon Favreau - IMDB Rating: 7.5 - Rottentomatoes Rating: 75% (It isn't quite the breath of fresh air that Iron Man was, but this sequel comes close with solid performances and an action-packed plot.)
Ocean’s Eleven (Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Andy Garcia, Casey Affleck, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac) - Director(es): Lewis Milestone - IMDB Rating: 6.4 - Rottentomatoes Rating: 81% ( A light, but fun piece of fluff with an all-star cast.)
Ocean’s twelve (Brad Pitt, Catherine Zeta-Jones, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Andy Garcia, Casey Affleck, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac) - Director(es): Steven Soderbergh - IMDB Rating: 6.0 - Rottentomatoes Rating: 55% (While some have found the latest star-studded heist flick to be a fun, glossy star vehicle, others declare it’s lazy, self-satisfied and illogical.)
Ocean’s Thirteen (Al Pacino, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Andy Garcia, Casey Affleck, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac)- Director(es): Steven Soderbergh - IMDB Rating: 6.9 - Rottentomatoes Rating: 69% (Ocean's Thirteen reverts to the formula of the first installment, and the result is another slick and entertaining heist film.)
The Dark Knight (Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Cillian Murphy) - Director(es): Christopher Nolan - IMDB Rating: 8.9 (#10 del Top 250) - Rottentomatoes Rating: 94% (Dark, complex and unforgettable, The Dark Knight succeeds not just as an entertaining comic book film, but as a richly thrilling crime saga.)
The Prestige (Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Scarlett Johansson)
- Director(es): Christopher Nolan - IMDB Rating: 8.4 (#72 del Top 250) - Rottentomatoes Rating: 75% (Full of twists and turns, The Prestige is a dazzling period piece that never stops challenging the audience.)
Batman Begins (Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Liamm Neeson, Katie Holmes, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe) - Director(es): Christopher Nolan - IMDB Rating: 8.3 (#107 del Top 250) - Rottentomatoes Rating: 85% ( Brooding and dark, but also exciting and smart, Batman Begins is a film that understands the essence of one of the definitive superheroes.)
Mars Attacks!(Jack Nicholson, Pierce Brosnan, Sarah Jessica Parker, Danny deVito, Natalie Portman , Jack Black, Christina Applegate) - Director(es): Tim Burton - IMDB Rating: 6.3 - Rottentomatoes Rating: 49%
Love Actually (Bill Nighy, Alan Rickman, Colin Firth, Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightly, Hugh Grant, etc) - Director(es): Richard Curtis - IMDB Rating: 7.9 - Rottentomatoes Rating: 64% ( A sugary tale overstuffed with too many stories. Still, the cast charms.)
Pirates of the Caribean: Dead Man's Chest (Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightly, Bill Nighy, Stellan Skarsgård, Yun-Fat Chow)- Director(es): Gore Verbinski - IMDB Rating: 7.3 - Rottentomatoes Rating: 53% (Gone is Depp's unpredictability and much of the humor and originality of the first movie.)
Pirates of the Caribean: At World's End (Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightly, Bill Nighy, Stellan Skarsgård, Yun-Fat Chow)- Director(es): Gore Verbinski - IMDB Rating: 7.3 - Rottentomatoes Rating: 45% (POTC: AWE provides the thrilling action scenes, but mixes in too many characters with too many incomprehensible plot threads.)
Nine (Daniel Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Penélope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson)- Director(es): Rob Marshall - IMDB Rating: 6.2 - Rottentomatoes Rating: 36% (It has a game, great-looking cast, led by the always worthwhile Daniel Day-Lewis, but Rob Marshall's Nine is chaotic and curiously distant.)
L.A. Confidential (Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, Kim Basinger, Danny DeVito) - Director(es): Curtis Hanson - IMDB Rating: 8.4(#62 del Top 250) - Rottentomatoes Rating: 99% (Taut pacing, brilliantly dense writing and Oscar-worthy acting combine to produce a smart, popcorn-friendly thrill ride.)
Good Will Hunting (Matt Damon, Robin Williams, Casey Affleck , Ben Affleck, Stellan Skarsgård) - Director(es): Gus Van Sant - IMDB Rating: 8.1(#196 del Top 250) - Rottentomatoes Rating: 97% (Van Sant, working from Affleck and Damon's script, lends warmth and real emotion to the film's somewhat basic story.)
Batman Returns (Christopher Walken, Michelle Pfeiffer, Danny DeVito, Michael Keaton) - Director(es): Tim Burton - IMDB Rating: 6.9 - Rottentomatoes Rating: 77% (Director Tim Burton's dark, brooding atmosphere, Michael Keaton's work as the tormented hero, and the flawless casting of Danny DeVito as The Penguin and Christopher Walken as, well, Christopher Walken make the sequel better than the first.)
The Matrix(Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Laurence Fishburne, Hugo Weaving)- Director(es): Andy Wachowski, Lana Wachowski - IMDB Rating: 8.7 (#25 del Top 250) - Rottentomatoes Rating: 86% (D An ingenious combination of Hong Kong action, ground-breaking Hollywood FX, and an imaginative vision.)
Closer (Natalie Portman, Jude Law, Julia Roberts, Clive Owen) - Director (s): Mike Nichols - IMDB Rating: 7.4 - RottenTomatoes Rating: 69%
