"Look kids! It's Star Wars' Mark Hamill!" or some such thing. 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back' was a pretty forgettable movie all around, but I liked CockBlocker's introduction.

In the same way that the Droids count in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

That is a great scene with Patrick, though it was in the original WAYNE'S WORLD. The best one in WAYNE'S WORLD 2 is Chuck Heston as the replacement actor who takes over as the gas station attendant.

I'm also fond of Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy's appearance in COMING TO AMERICA.

Can that be considered a cameo, though? He appears in more than a scene.

I don't know. I was unsure of the criteria being used for this list. I've only ever heard of it referred to as a cameo and not a bit part, so I went with it. Feel free to disregard, though.

DeNiro in Brazil is without question a supporting turn.

Ralph Richardson in Time Bandits is more like a cameo.

It was briefly mentioned above, but I gotta throw some more love towards James Earl Jones showing up at the end of Sneakers. Absolutely priceless scene.

Even though its not that great of a film...

I loved Joe Pesci's little bit at Sonny's funeral in "A Bronx Tale". Thought it was one of the more subtle and poingant scenes in an otherwise hamfisted film.

Or...

Joe Pesci in The Good Shepard. I like that he shows up in both films Deniro directs as a cameo only.

Not sure if it counts as a cameo but, Brad Pitt in 'Being John Malkovich'.

Hayden Christensen in "Return Of the Jedi": A good idea, questionable execution.

Billy Ray Cyrus in "Mullholland Drive": Funny as hell. "It's for the best...."

Anthony Hopkins in "Mission Impossible 2": Added a little extra cred to the actioneer.

Jay and Silent Bob in "Scream 3": The movie was stupid, and the cameo doesn't really hold up, but it's funny the first time.

Just an aside, on Letterman's unfairly abused Oscar hosting, the short film of audition tapes of the other actors who tried for the cameo and lost it to Dave is one of my all-time favorite moments on television.

John Hughes as the father of Brian (Anthony Michael Hall) in "The Breakfast Club"

Rainer Werner Fassbinder as a back-alley peddler in "The Marriage of Maria Braun"

As far as Landis' films go, "Into the Night" has the best cameos. I love Amy Heckerling as a waitress and Jonathan Demme as a beduddled fed.

Donald Trump's cameo in "Home Alone 2" is fairly amusing.

The Brothers Quay in Peter Greenaway's "The Falls"

Mark E. Smith and Mani in "24 Hour Party People"

Jack Nicholson's blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance in "Ragtime"
