Don't forget George Carlin as the hitchhiker and Carrie Fischer as the nun.

Huh? Bruce had a pretty major role, I'd say Harvey Keitel's appearance was more of a cameo.

I would actually say the only one that remotely applies is Walken. Even Tarrantino's role is too big to be considered a cameo IMO.
Now Sam Jackson in Kill Bill 2 or Inglorious Basterds could be considered cameos IMO.

Sam Jackson was in Inglourious basterds?
Speaking of which, Mike Myers was a great cameo in that one.

I think he was a narrator in one of the scenes.

For any Tool, Perfect Circle or Puscifer fans, Maynard James Keenan's cameo on Crank 2 was kinda funny. The movie itself was awful though.

Well he was never promoted or mentioned before the film aired.
I didn't even know he was in the movie until i saw him in the theatre. I thought he was going to get wacked right away but it never happened.
Christopher Walken and Uma Thurman both had memorable cameos in that movie. Same with Peter Weller.

Found a couple decent lists.
This one especially:
http://www.nextmovie.com/blog/best-movie-cameos/
How could I forget Bob Barker in Happy Gilmore?
This one isn't bad except for the fact you can only see one at a time:
http://www.empireonline.com/features...ovie-cameos/p1
Even that list contains a few that to me seem like they are just small parts and not cameos. Like Judy Dench as the Queen in Shakespeare in Love. That's not a cameo. She won a freaking Academy Award for the part.

No way Uma is a cameo in Pulp Fiction.

Why not? she does a little dance and gets stabbed with a needle to the heart.

You appears to have a different definition of cameo. For me a cameo is a one off in the film, often only lasting on screen for a few minutes.
Uma, lovely lovely Uma, was on for a far bit.

She had an entire section of the movie named after her, appeared on screen for probably about 20 minutes and had about 20 lines of dialogue. That can't be a cameo.
Cameos should be unexpected, often uncredited roles, that usually have at least a little bit of dialogue (but sometimes don't) and are either memorable (see Bob Barker in Happy Gilmore) or are significant (Stan Lee in Mallrats, Stan Lee in any Marvel movie).
The Stan Lee examples show that significance has two meanings. They either play a crucial role or they have some ties to the film (creator, director, writer, reprising a role from another film series etc).

ALL ABOARD!
Definitely a cameo...
Wikipedia has a pretty good description of what is classified as a cameo appearance:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameo_appearance
A lot of examples here are guest appearances or supporting roles.

Anthony Hopkins in MI:2? Did he have any significance to the series previously? Seemed to me like it was just a small part.
On the other hand, Sean Connery in Robin Hood makes sense to me because he played the part previously.
