I'm trying to think of a better cameo and I just can't. Wolverine's in First Class was just so good. The entire theatre lost it when he said his famous line.

What other great cameos are there?

It's somewhat a shame that he went from the best Cameo in First Class to one of the worst parts of an already terrible movie in Apocalypse

Bonus, just because I miss the man so bloody damn much: Terry Pratchett, the writer of the Discworld books, had a cameo in all three live action Discworld adaptions released so far.

As Joshua Isme, owner of Toys is Me in Hogfather.

As Astrozoologist #2 in Colour of Magic/Light Fantastic
(Couldn't find a picture of this, but here's a low quality clip of his first scene in that): https://youtu.be/IwmLgjw3lGs?t=76

As a Postman at the end of Going Postal. Probably his best cameo scene - fitting in a way that his last live action scene ever would be opposite Vetinari (played by Charles Dance).


The guy was doing the whole Stan Lee cameo thing for Discworld. Sadly, even though we have a number of adaptions coming up, this won't be possible anymore. Although I won't be surprised to see a bust or a painting of him hidden in the background somewhere.

These were amazing. He and Neil Gaiman also have a really good cameo in BBC's recent

Spoiler

well, I guess it has been a wee bit now...

radio play adaptation of Good Omens.

Martin Sheen in Hot Shots Part Deux is up there.

This is actually my favourite.

Is that Murtaugh?

Aye! Watch it in its amazing glory too!

[GAMEPROFF]

Agreed.

As someone who doesn't like Wolverine (or the X-Men), it felt like the obligatory "Wolverine checkbox to satisfy people who like him omg" CHECK

A little more shameless than Darth Vader in Rogue One (who was less a cameo and more a really dumb character with low screen time).

I don't recall my favorite cameo, but I've loved the ones in Zombieland, Scream, and the Evil Dead reboot.

This argument against Wolverine and then saying that Evil Dead Cameo is great...

I'm going to throw this one into the ring:

I didn't have cable as a kid, but I did have this on VHS and it became on my sick day movie. I'd watch it every time I wasn't feeling well because it was a good time.

Now I can't look at Gibson's dumb face anymore so that's been ruined.

One last one and I promise I'll stop: Seeing Tom Freaking Baker again in the 50th anniversary Doctor Who special. By far the most unlikely actor from the past to show up. Apart from the dead ones, obviously. That moment before you actually see him, but you only hear his voice was a jump-from-the-couch moment for me and everyone I was watching with. Such an iconic voice, such an iconic man, and a very sweet, very silly scene. The kind of little speech that only really makes sense if you speak Tom Bakerian.

As a kid, I grew up watching Tom Baker as the Doctor. That scene made me tear up out of no where.

 

[DerZuhälter]

I think it counts as cameo and it was the most insane cliffhanger moment ever.

I've always liked John Candy in Home Alone. The way he was in the background in line at the airport, though maybe a little more than a cameo.

But also, Will Ferrell in Wedding Crashers really gave the movie a jolt.

JT Walsh in Outbreak. Masterclass in cameo acting.

But also, Will Ferrell in Wedding Crashers really gave the movie a jolt.

The theater went nuts when he walked on screen.

Randolph and Mortimer in Coming To America

One and done.

Coming to America and Trading Places are two of my favorite comedy movies and my must-watch movies around Christmas (together with National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation).

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Randolph and Mortimer in Coming To America

we're done here folks

side note they we're based off of these two guys:

 

[Anth0ny]

The Chris Evans cameo in NeoGAF's favorite movie, Thor 2: The Dark World

it's amazing

thor 2 is amazing

 

[Hobbles]

Doc Brown in A Million Ways To Die in the West had me jumping out of my seat!

This is my vote. Was dying with laughter.

 

[Dodecagon]

Randolph and Mortimer in Coming To America

Hmm... No lies detected...

 

[HyperZone<3]

the Three Stooges, yes, those ones, show up in a wordless cameo in Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

Its a great scene where they're just bystanders to slapstick chaos for the one time in their career.

 

[Sad Affleck]

Yes it is! That scene is perfect, I laughed my ass off when I first saw it.
