Alec Baldwin was awesome in Glengarry Glen Ross. Then again the whole cast and film was amazing. He was also one of the best characters in The Departed, next to DiCaprio and Walberg.
I don’t agree with 18. While I thought Jackson was great in that scene. I think the better cameo in Kill Bill was Sonny Chiba. He was so charasmatic and brought a father-like presence to the film. Then again, not many people in the theatre knew who he was, especially when I clapped after seeing him for the first time. Seeing him and Gordon Liu in it, “cemented” Kill Bill as an instant classic for me.

As I understand it, Alec Baldwin’s part was not in the original script - Mamet wrote it in specifically for him. But it is a classic part - ABC!

The whole Wall-E advertisement with the giant robots are very cool.
I think that the bloke in The Incredible Hulk is a man with a ariel next to his back becuase there is another on the opposite side of the man.
