Jaws -
Peter Benchley as a TV news reporter

Close Encounters of the Third Kind -
A brief glimpse of Dr. J. Allen Hynek at the Devil's Tower Base (he was a professor, astronomer, and scientific advisor to the US Air Force on 3 UFO studies conducted in the 1940s-1960s. He also developed the "close encounter" scale to denote the type of reported contacts with UFOs)

The Blues Brothers -
Steven Spielberg as the clerk in the Cook County Tax Assessor's Office

The Muppet Movie -
Edgar Bergen & Charlie McCarthy (Mr. Bergen died shortly after his cameo was filmed)


Most nearly invisible cameo:

Maria Von Trapp in The Sound of Music
. She is very briefly (1/2 a second?) visible way in the background in a location shot in Salzburg when Julie Andrews is singing "I Have Confidence"
 
Maybe these are more "bit parts" than cameos, but David Hasslehoff in SpongeBob the Movie and Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glenn Ross.
 
Huey Lewis as the talent show judge in "Back to the Future"
 
Danny Glover in Maverick

Noel Neill in the 1978 version of Superman. Neill played Lois Lane in the TV series.
 
Sean Connery as Richard the Lionhearted in the terrible Costner Robin Hood movie.

Charlie Sheen in Being John Malkovich.
 
Alice Cooper in "Wayne's World."

"Actually , it's pronounced "mill-wah-kay" which is Algonquin for "the good land."


Keef R in "Pirates of the Caribbean"
 
>> Barbara Billingsley as the jive translator in Airplane <<

Which reminds me: Howard Jarvis (of Proposition 13 fame) as the guy sitting in the taxi for the length of the movie while the meter's running.
 
Alice Cooper in "Wayne's World."

That actually may be the best. Alice Cooper sounding like a Chamber of Commerce brochure was really funny.
 
David Chase int two Sopranos episodes.

The first when Tony and Paulie went to Italy (season 2), the second when the Italian hit men are on the plan flying back to Italy. Season Six I think
