Every week, we’ll pose a new “five favorites” question. You just list your five favorites that fit in that category (preferably in preference order) and you’re welcome to discuss and debate the selections and see just how much you do or do not have in common with others. If you want to take a look back at our past articles to comment or enjoy, here is a post set aside to track all of our articles.
The cameo has been a staple of film for years.

Writers, directors, actors and presidents have each made brief appearances as cameos in various films over the years. What are your five favorite?
