Stalker for me it's always been Tarkovskys landscapes; the forests, the railway, the wrecked buildings, the abandoned military hardware, all seems to almost be from another planet... the very first interior shots of the Stalkers room; I've never seen a place like that anywhere + the snowbound bar where they return near the end of the film is as bleak as any interior ever filmed The place is as much of a star as the players I agree they're good; Stalker isn't "easy watching" just like Mahler isn't "easy listening" but it's worth the trip

As for films with lots of Stars in 1 place: Mamet's Glengarry, Glen Ross: Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino, Kevin Spacey, Alan Arkin, Alec Baldwin, Ed Harris
