Movie Cameos / Scene Stealers

This list was compiled by the AV Club and features the best single scene portrayals by actors and actresses in feature films. A list that is sure to generate some discussion. (You can click on the link and see the videos of the scenes)
  1. Alec Baldwin, Glengarry Glen Ross (how much trouble am I in for not having seen this movie all the way through?)
  2. Ray Charles, The Blues Brothers (it's a musical number, but I think James Brown is better)
  3. Pamela Anderson, Borat
  4. Dean Stockwell, Blue Velvet (this is such a creepy movie and Dennis Hopper is so good, one can easily forget that Dean Stockwell has this scene - almost)
  5. Janeane Garofalo, The Cable Guy (I've been to Medieval Times - wait, did I just say that?)
  6. David Letterman, Cabin Boy (What? No Jon Stewart?)
  7. Billy Ray Cyrus, Mulholland Dr.
  8. Ned Beatty, Network (this scene earned Beatty an Oscar nomination)
  9. Chris Rock, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka
  10. Topher Grace, Ocean's Eleven (it's that opening scene and it is very funny)
  11. David Spade, Reality Bites
  12. Sammy Davis Jr., Sweet Charity
  13. Vanessa Redgrave, Atonement (I would expect nothing less from Lady Vanessa)
  14. Charlie Sheen, Ferris Bueller's Day Off (Drugs?)
  15. David Bowie, Zoolander
  16. John Carroll Lynch and Charles Fleischer, Zodiac (one word - CREEPY!)
  17. Samuel L. Jackson, Kill Bill Volume 2
  18. William Hurt, A History Of Violence
