Sissy Spacek

Amy Irving
John Travolta (OK.. OK...but he is great in this role!)
Nancy Allen
Even P.J. Soles
Maybe not the perfect cast but they all fit their roles perfectly! I can't imagine Sissy as Chris (the role she originally was going to try out for!)

While it can't compare in absolute numbers, in terms of per capita star power, you can't beat Sleuth. There are six people listed in the opening credits. Two of them are Micahel Caine and Lawrence Olivier
Spoiler:
Plus, it was directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz.
