My Favorite "Ensemble Cast" Movies & Series
An ensemble cast is one that is composed of multiple principal actors and performers who are typically assigned roughly equal amounts of screen time. The term is also used interchangeably to refer to a production (typically film) with a large cast or a cast with several prominent performers. Also includes my favorite films or series where I felt the overall cast had great chemistry together, worked well together as an ensemble, or overall the casting for the film or series was very well done.
