Can I have two? Four Rooms (1995) not only has a great ensemble cast (Tim Roth, Antonio Banderas, Madonna, Bruce Willis, Maris Tomei and Quentin Tarantino) to name a few. It also has an ensemble group of directors; Allison Anders, Alexandre Rockwell, Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, it's a great film if you haven't checked it out.
And the other is CONfidence (2003), a con flick starring Ed Burns, Rachel Weisz, Andy Garcia, Dustin Hoffman and Paul Giamatti.

Into the Wild (2007) and Charlie Bartlett (2007) both have great ensemble casts.

It is not so much an ensemble cast as much as a boat-load of cameos, but the hilarious comedy Run Ronnie Run (2002) from David Cross and Bob Odenkirk is one of my favs.

Ensemble casts: Magnolia (1999), Tombstone (1993), Heat (1995), LA Confidential (1997) and Usual Suspects (1995). I consider Ocean's (2001) exempt for being totally obvious.

Parenthood (1989): Jason Robards was so good in that film. Crash (2004): Thandie Newton freaking out when Matt Dillon has to save her...*shivers*.

Reservoir Dogs (1992) for sure.

Either The Player (1992) (more cameos then cast), or A Few Good Men (1992) - Cruise, Moore, Nicholson, Kevin Bacon, Noah Wylie, Cuba Gooding, Jr, Keifer Sutherland, Christopher Guest, and the immortal, awesome, JT Walsh. Even Aaron Sorkin has a silent role as a bar patron. Now that's a cast!

Oceans 11 (2001). Both the original and the remake. And Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009).

Most Robert Altman movies.

Probably Short Cuts (1993), it any other altman movie, he knew how to get stars as extras, though the expendables might beat that when out.

Does LOTR qualify as an ensemble flick? :D

The Breakfast Club (1985)!

I really liked Galaxy Quest (1999) in terms of ensemble. Was that a movie people missed? I can't recall seeing it in theaters..
@SmHoop via Twitter
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963).

My favorite ensemble cast is undoubtedly Kurosawa's Seven Samurai (1954). Everyone is perfect, and dare I say Magnificent....GET IT!? ;)

My first thought was Gosford Park (2001). That movie kinda blew my mind as each actor made their entrance.

Normally the trick for me is to find a film that no one else has suggested, but surprisingly no one mentioned any of the Christopher Guest movies, so I claim them! They are all mine. mwah haha.
