5. 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

8. The Green Mile (1999)

Warner Bros.

Casting Director: Mali Finn

9. Scream (1996)

Dimension Films

Casting Director: Lisa Beach

"Every actor was made to play their roles."

—motherofcats222

10. The Addams Family Values (1993)

Paramount Pictures

Casting Director: David Rubin

"Raul Julia will always be my favorite Gomez. Anjelica Huston oozes Morticia’s glamour effortlessly. Christopher Lloyd with psychotic Joan Cusack are a fantastic odd couple. And one of the most underrated roles was David Krumholtz as Wednesday’s love interest, he plays those awkward roles so well!"

—aramanthe

11. This Is Where I Leave You (2014)

Warner Bros.

Casting Director: Cindy Tolan

"I LOVED this cast. I felt like the family dynamic between all of the siblings was believable and hilarious."

—tiffc3

12. The Dark Knight (2008)

Warner Bros.

Casting Director: John Papsidera

"The movie always gets praise for Heath Ledger's Joker, but the whole cast was fantastic. Every actor brought amazing light to their character. I know Batman has been done many times over with so many different casts, but this cast was by far the best."

—brittanyt4bc3dad0b

13. Tombstone (1993)

Buena Vista Pictures

Casting Director: Lora Kennedy

"Although this movie appeals more to an older audience, it has the most amazing ensemble cast for a Western film ever. Kurt Russell, Bill Paxton, unforgettable performances by Sam Elliot and Val Kilmer, Michael Biehn, and a gorgeous Dana Delaney — even Jason Priestley during the height of his Beverly Hills 90210 fame. It's still one of my favorite movies to this day!"

—Karina Vazquez, Facebook

14. Mean Girls (2004)

Paramount Pictures

Casting Director: Marci Liroff

"This had one of the best ensemble casts I’ve ever seen."

—broadwayismymiddlename

16. Boogie Nights (1997)

New Line Cinema

Casting Director: Christine Sheaks

—lizm4597f28f9

17. Ocean's Eleven (2001)

Warner Bros.

Casting Director: Debra Zane

—charmingskull30

20. Titanic (1997)
