markbeckuaf Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 DINNER AT EIGHT and GRAND HOTEL are two of the most famous ones I know of, but there are soo many others! There are tons of great WB films for example that have tons of not only stars, but character actors, who are such fun to watch! I'm sure folks can think of tons more!

bio47 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 You are right, I forget, and I used to even say Mad Mad Mad Mad World was my fav ensemble. Thanks for reminding me. I have that fim and have seen it 20 times I bet. Always good when you need a laugh. I am not much of one for slapstick, but cry tears laughing so hard at Ethel Merrman beating Milton Bearle with her purse. Love it. Thanks Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
