The best ensemble cast movies feature virtuosic performers inhabiting dynamic and complex characters who play off one another like a great band at the height of their chemistry. Under the deft direction of filmmakers like George Cukor (THE WOMEN), Spike Lee (SCHOOL DAZE), Mike Nichols (THE BIRDCAGE), and Wes Anderson (THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS), these sprawling showcases command our attention with multidimensional storylines that keep us engaged and engrossed in each well-hewn dramatic arc.
