Any show, movie, etc., where the majority of the lead roles are played by name actors. They don't have to be A list. B, C, and even D will do, although in that case, relying on their talents is preferable to relying on their names. If the character list is ''[[Loads and Loads of Characters|really]]'' big, this can spill over into supporting roles as well.
Line 51:
** ''Henry V'' has [[Derek Jacobi]], [[Judi Dench]], Emma Thompson, Robert Stephens, Paul Scofield, Ian Holm, [[Christian Bale]] and [[Brian Blessed]].
* The remake of ''[[The Stepford Wives]]''.
* ''[[Mars Attacks (Film)!]]!'' is an almost ridiculous example. [[Jack Nicholson]], Glenn Close, Annette Benning, [[Pierce Brosnan]], Danny De Vito, Martin Short, [[Sarah Jessica Parker]], [[Michael J. Fox]], Rod Steiger, Tom Jones as himself, Jim Brown, Lucas Haas, [[Natalie Portman]], Sylvia Sidney, [[Pam Grier]], [[Jack Black]], Paul Winfield, Christina Applegate, Joe Don Baker, [[Frank Welker]] voicing the Martians.
* ''[[Love Actually]]'' has been described as heaven for Anglophiles.
* Suprisingly, both of the [[Steve Martin]] ''[[Pink Panther]]'' films are dripping with name talent: Martin himself, Kevin Kline, [[John Cleese]], Andy Garc? Lily Tomlin, Jean Reno, Beyonce Knowles... in fact love interest Nicole Nuveau is probably the only major character played by a non-name.
