The studio's put pressure on Tarantino to keep the biggest stars on screen for as long as possible, with them nearly losing after discovering Travolta's fate halfway through the film, only to be brought back on-side by his trademark abstract timelines.

The pay off was huge, with the film being a huge success, earning Thurman, Travolta, Jackson, Tanatino and the film itself all nominations at that year's Oscars.

Crash

This hard-hitting drama about people living in the city of LA, and how one action can cause chaos for people around us.

The film starred Sandra Bullock and Brendan Fraser in brilliantly subdued roles, alongside Terrance Howard, Ryan Phillipe, Matt Dillon, Thandie Newton and Don Cheadle, a cast list full of quality.

Although never a walk in the park to watch, Crash is a great film, with complex characters and storylines that really suck you in to the character's plight.

The most successful of our ensemble films Crash stormed to success at the Oscars, taking the award for best motion picture in controversial style.

It beat the highly favoured Brokeback Mountain to the big prize, and became the first ever winner that hadn't even been nominated at the Golden Globes.


Oceans Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen

Back in 1960, the original Oceans Eleven featured a cast of stars, known back then as 'The Rat Pack', featuring the likes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr.

When news that a re-make was in the works, it needed to get just as good a cast to live up to the original.

And oh boy did they deliver, getting a cast of George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Casey Affleck, Julia Roberts and Andy Garcia to take part in the comedic heist caper.

The movie was a great success with audiences as well as critics, with many holding it up as an equal to its illustrious original.

The movie managed to find the sweet spot between humour, action and tension the film still stands as one of the best heist movies of the last decade.

With Clooney, Pitt and Damon all oozing charm and charisma, there wasn't any doubts about sequels to the movie, with Oceans Twelve and Thirteen coming out in

The sequels only added to the roster, introducing first Catherine Zeta-Jones, Eddie Izzard and the great Al Pacino to the mix, but despite this, they were far worse than the first.

Proof that even a huge group of great actors can't save a sinking ship.

Valentine's Day will hope to do better when it hits cinemas this Valentine's weekend and with a phenomenal cast, hopes are high that it can fulfil on it promise.
