The running and flying look really goofy and not cool at all.
That's what I was thinking about the gif.
Is that OK? You're not gonna get mad?

What's with the hostility? You're really trying for a reaction eh?
It's almost like out of context clips do not correctly convey or represent the quality or effect of the catharsis moment of a three hour film.
But congrats on not recognizing the most iconic moment from the second biggest movie of all time, I guess.
You clearly wanted someone to dig into your initial post, so I commented on it, and you get all cheeky and aggressive about it for no reason. You wanted acknowledgement, here it is. Carry on brave soldier.
No...? I wanted to know which Marvel movie it was. I'm sorry you thought I was being anything but honest.
I dunno how well it actually used the cast, but X-Men DOFP had a pretty big ensemble.
-Hugh Jackman
-Patrick Stewart
-Ian McKellen
-Ellen Page
-Anna Paquin
-Jennifer Lawrence
-Nicholas Hoult
-James McAvoy
-Michael Fappbender
-Peter Dinklage
-Halle Berry
-Fan Bingbing

Departed is my answer. Legendary cast all leads in other films.
Sure, there may be bigger casts.... but the thing about The Departed is every.single.person is on the top of their fucking A game. I mean, it's like an all time modern greats collection of trying to one-up their peers.
10/10 film.
We have the whole history of cinema and we are going with RDJ and the Chris trio? Obviously I know there plenty of others in there but I feel like the ensemble is the characters not the actors.
I would go:
Grand Budapest Hotel
The Godfather
Murder on the Orient Express
Hateful 8
Some classic like Casablanca, but there is probably a bigger one that combined Bogart and Gary and Cary etc
There are also some upcoming movies that will have huge Ensembles like the Rian Johnson movie.
Edit: The Rian Johnson movie is called Knives Out and the cast isn't that wild yet. There are some upcoming movies though that could make this thread, just can't think of them at the moment.

I think it's a valid answer, one of many. The movie just came out this year so I'm sure it's the freshest on everyone's mind.
An ensemble can be what you want it to be. It hurts a thread when someone puts these restrictions on it.
I just looked up the cast to Toy Story 4 and well I'm really suprised. This cast is nuts. In addition to the usual Hanks and Allen crew, Tony Hale is the fork, Key and Peele are in it, Keanu Reeves, Carl Weathers, Mel Brooks, Carol Burnett, Betty White, Carl Reiner, Patricia Arquette, Timothy Dalton, Kristen Schaal, Bill Hader, Melissa Villasenor, and FLEA!(?)
Came here to post this.
The 2001 film "Rat Race" which was basically a Mad World inspired modern "remake" had a pretty big cast too.
It might have the *biggest* ensemble but most of the actors are B or C list.
Maybe PTA's Magnolia? So many great roles in that movie.
Originally came to post this. Master class in acting.
This is a great one, Glengarry Glen Ross

Grand Budapest Hotel (or Royal Tenenbaums) are great modern examples, as is Oceans 11.
Surprised this one wasn't mentioned yet
12 Angry Men
And Tarantino's movies are almost all ensembles, most of them are great.
And a shout out to the most underrated movie in recent years, Hail Caesar

Yeah Pulp Fiction and The Departed are good picks. Magnolia is another good one.
Most of Tarantino's movies feature good ensemble casts actually.

Glangarry is one of my favorite movies ever. The acting chops on display are amazing. When Alec Baldwin and Kevin Spacey are your throwaway roles, you know you have some serious talent working. Lemmon earned the hell out of that Oscar.
I don't love Lumet's Murder on the Orient Express. Great stars, but the performances are nothing special.
I haven't seen Short Cuts since it came out but this makes me want to.
Altman in general put together some fantastic casts.
EDIT: Damnit, I thought Lemmon won as oscar for Glengarry Glen Ross, but didn't.

I loved this as a kid, but I'm guessing it hasn't aged well. I do recall Jackie Chan playing a stereotype of a Japanese guy. Eek.
This right here.
Aaaand this was my backup vote.
3rd choice!
