Bob Barker in Happy Gilmore. I can watch this movie 100 times and still laugh.
Margot Robbie appearing and sipping champagne in a bubble bath was a nice treat when watching The Big Short...
Bill Murray in Zombieland....
But gotta go with Jimmy Buffett in Jurassic World running from dinosaurs with a margarita in each hand.

Certainly not the best, but I always appreciated this one in Secretariat:
Hackman in young Frankenstein is a classic with a recent reminder
Perfect casting: Keith Richard’s cameo as sparrow’s father
If' we're talking a really quick, uncredited non-speaking role in a film, then you have stuff like Brad Pitt in Deadpool 2, Daniel Craig in The Force Awakens, and someone like Donald Trump in Home Alone 2. If you're talking an unexpected, out of nowhere appearance of an actor who kills it for a scene or two, then Alec Baldwin in GGGR is tops. Other favorites:
Mike Meyers in Inglorious Basterds
Brad Pitt in True Romance (doesn't leave the couch!)
But the king of these roles is Christopher Walken
True Romance
Pulp Fiction

I always thought his name was Bud Parker. Edit: I guess no one remembers or saw the episode when the Serviceman comes on and says that Bob's name was Bud Parker.
I met his niece recently in N.O.This.

In the opening scene of The Godfather Marlon Brando is stroking a cat while seated at his chair. The cat wandered into the set during filming and Brando picked it up and starters stroking it. It was not planned but they left it in.
So....the cat. In The Godfather.

Simple: My neighbor Mike Strug who was a news reporter for Channel 6 action news in Phila. He was covering the Trading Places movie shoot in Phila. The Santa didn't show, and they used him to fill in for the scene where Eddie Murphy rips the wrong Santa's whiskers off. It's around the 1:55 mark in the link below. I was so proud and still proud of that moment. Awesome movie to boot.
Thinking back they must have used him because he had a SAG card.

My SIL was an extra in "Teachers" as she was in HS at the time. But that's not *quite* a cameo....
That was a challenge in “Lifeboat.” The solution was to have Hitchcock’s picture printed in a newspaper read by someone aboard the lifeboat.
