Greatest Star-Studded Movie Cast Ever

Can you name the movie with the greatest ensemble of actors and actresses?  I bet most of you will say it is one of the Ocean's 11 movies, or The Departed, or one of the numerous holiday-named romantic comedies (Valentine's Day, New Year's Eve, etc.).  Well, you would be dead wrong.  The answer is Mars Attacks!.  Just look at this cast, it is ridiculous:
  • Jack Nicholson - (3 AW/12 AN, 5 GGW/17 GGN)  He is definitely one of the greatest actors of all-time and played The Joker to perfection in Batman.
  • Glenn Close - (5 AN, 2 GGW/9 GGN)  Her star has faded over time, but she has been great her entire career.
  • Annette Benning - (4 AN, 2 GGW/7 GGN)  She's not someone today's generation really knows but she is one of those actresses that has been a lot of movies you have seen.
  • Pierce Bronson - (1 GGN)  Come on, you know him, he's the 2nd best James Bond behind Sean Connery (but Daniel Craig is catching him fast).
  • Danny DeVito - (1 GGW/3 GGN)  Our second former Batman villain on the list and easily the shortest man (5 ft) to ever succeed in Hollywood other than Warwick Davis (he played Willow and The Leprechaun).
  • Martin Short - (1 EW/3 EN)  SNL, Three Amigos, Innerspace (very underrated movie) make this guy great.
  • Sarah Jessica Parker - (4 GGW/8 GGN, 2 EW/11 EN)  She personally made way too many men's lives miserable b/c of that stupid Sex and the City show.
  • Michael J. Fox - (4 GGW/8 GGN, 5 EW/12 EN)  Back to the Future and Family Ties, need I say more.
  • Tom Jones - Watch this clip and you will appreciate Tom Jones that much more.
  • Jim Brown - NFL Hall of Fame, 3 MVP's, 9 Pro Bowls, and 8 Rushing Titles are some of his achievements, along with being a decent actor.
  • Lukas Haas - You would recognize him if you saw him, he was most recently in Inception (he was the guy who got killed very early on for screwing up that first dream).
  • Natalie Portman - (1 AW/2 AN, 2 GGW/3 GGN)  A lesbian scene with Mila Kunis.  Awesome.
  • Pam Grier - She's been in a ton of movies and her name is recognizable, so she makes this list.
  • Jack Black - (1 GGN)  I really wish he would have stuck with being a musician, his movies seem to get worse and worse (also, did you know that both of his parents are rocket scientists?)
  • Ray J - He is the reason Kim Kardashian is "famous" which means he is the reason reality TV shows are so effing stupid.
  • Christina Applegate - (3 GGN, 1 EW/3 EN)  She used to be way hotter back when she played Al Bundy's kid.
  • Joe Don Baker - Another guy you would recognize if you saw him, he was in a couple of James Bond flicks and seems to be in every crappy comedy ever (Joe Dirt, Dukes of Hazzard, Strange Wilderness, etc.).
  • Willie Garson - He currently plays Mozzie on the show White Collar, but has been around forever.
  • Rod Steiger - (1 AW/2 AN)  I personally have no idea who this is, but he won an Academy Award, so he must be pretty good at acting.
(AW = Academy Award Wins, AN = Academy Award Nominations, GGW = Golden Globe Wins, GGN = Golden Glove Nominations, EW = Emmy Wins, EN = Emmy Nominations)

"Who ever thought that they would ever see this scene in a movie?  Usually it is the other way around.  And with less aliens."
