1. Julia Roberts & Bruce Willis - The Player (1992)
In a film staggering under the weight of more than 60 celebrity cameos, Robert Altman’s searing Holly-satire is capped with the cloying, soaring denouement to a wonderfully fake action blockbuster.
With Roberts about to die in the gas chamber, Willis bounds in to shoot out the window and rescue her for a ludicrous but studio-mandated happy ending. “What kept you?” gasps Julia. “Traffic was a bitch...” replies Bruce. Priceless.

The best example of Landis doing this, circa the 1980's, is Into the Night. Jim Henson shows up, Amy Heckerling, Jonathon Demme, Roger Vadim and even Landis himself among many more, make appearances. The movie is ok, but it's worth watching just to try and pick out the cameos.

Aw. Sean. "I'm not British! I'm Scotish!" Quick to play king of England for a paycheck and even quicker for knighthood. Funny that is.
