ensemble comedy movie casts to clarify
ensemble film is one that gives its main

zone Ben Stiller is the dim-witted
action star looking for his comeback
Robert Downey jr. is an oscar-winning
Australian method actor in blackface

Davis jr. rip it up his Scotch drinking
sports car driving Catholic priests
Jackie Chan pilots futuristic Japanese
technology and even James Bond actor
Roger Moore plays a nutbag who thinks
he’s Roger Moore the strange sense of
camaraderie can be summed up by their
reactions to Burt’s infectious laugh
[Music]
number eight The Hangover after one wild
night together
Bradley Cooper Ed Helms and Zach
Galifianakis struggled to find out what
went wrong during their friend’s
bachelor party in real life the three
actors apparently already had chemistry
and this translates onto screen this
allows them to let loose and casually
work their back-and-forth swith
unforgettably hilarious results how
exactly you guys gonna do that oh it’s
easy you just pour kerosene over ferret
lighting on both ends put it in there
attracted gas line
what good yeah a ferret yeah or a tamed
raccoon number seven airplane deadpan on
a plane Robert Hays Julie Hagerty Leslie
Nielsen Peter Graves and Lloyd Bridges
deliver some of the genres most
outrageous scenes by maintaining a
serious demeanor throughout escalating
levels of absurdity craving some dry
situational humor this is the ensemble
cast for you
I won’t deceive you mr. striker we’re
running out of time
surely there must be something you can
do I’m doing everything I can stop
calling me Shirley number six Spaceballs
may the Schwartz be with you taking wild
jabs at Star Wars the cast members of
this Mel Brooks farce managed to make
their specific parodies outrageously
compelling and unique Bill Pullman and
John Candy give a hilarious spin on han
and chewie Daphne Zuniga and Joan Rivers
play the druish princess and her droid
while Rick Moranis and Mel Brooks rip on
Darth Vader the Emperor and Yoda I am
your father’s brothers nephews cousins
former roommate what’s that make ash
absolutely nothing
number five Caddyshack featuring some
legendary comedians this sports comedy
is a true ensemble romp as there’s no
main character instead it consists of
the ridiculous antics of Chevy Chase
Rodney Dangerfield Ted Knight Michael
O’Keefe and the gopher hunting stoned to
the bejesus Bill Murray what sets this
comedy apart is the obvious freedom the
actors were given to do whatever the
hell they wanted I have to take back in
an impossible to look
number four it’s a mad mad mad mad world
another epic comedy that brings together
the biggest stars of its era is this
film about complete strangers chasing
three hundred and fifty thousand dollars
in stolen cash created as the comedy to
end all comedies it’s almost impossible
to single out any of its players as each
brings their own special dose of fun to
the rump however you may happen to
recognize such Golden Age film stars as
Spencer Tracy Mickey Rooney and Phil
Silvers now say hey you we need to tell
you a hole because if you had no
number three anchorman The Legend of Ron
Burgundy this strange and nonsensical
comedy is a classic due to Will
Ferrell’s egomaniacal Ron Burgundy and
his team of bizarre and dim-witted
reporter friends
these include Paul Rudd as the Cologne
wearing fashion loving field reporter
David Koechner as the Texan sportscaster
and Steve Carell as the legally retarded
meteorologist with access to explosives
come get a taste
Rick where’d you get a hangar name I
don’t know number two ghostbusters
who are you gonna call magic happens
when these guys appear together on
screen
Bill Murray dan Aykroyd Harold Ramis and
Ernie Hudson each bring a distinct
personality to the team while Sigourney
Weaver and Rick Moranis fill in the gaps
as the love interest and the geeky
accountant half subtle and dry half
over-the-top sci-fi farce even an
elevator ride in this movie is
unforgettable you know it’s just
occurred to me we really haven’t had a
completely successful test of this
equipment I blame myself total I know no
sense worrying about it now
why worry each of us is wearing an
unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his
back number one Ocean’s eleven taking
the top spot on our list is the remake
of the Rat Pack crime caper that stars a
dozen memorable con artists out for the
score of a lifetime
among these are the smooth-talking
Clooney his hungry pal Pitt and the
young and awkward pickpocket Matt Damon
their banter is almost too comfortable
which brings many of the laughs and
clashes perfectly with Andy Garcia as
the casino owner and Julia Roberts as
the icy hot love interest play long
enough you never change the stakes a
house takes you unless when that perfect
hand comes along you bet big and then
you take the house
