Alan Rickman In Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part 1 (2010)
Alan Rickman (as Professor Snape), who was on screen for just 1 minute, 15 seconds in the first Deathly Hallows film, had a total screen time of only 43 minutes in all eight Harry Potter movies.
Bill Murray In Zombieland (2009)
Bill Murray played himself in Zombieland, and it was the best 'cameo' ever.
Billy Crystal And Carol Kane In The Princess Bride (1987)
Billy Crystal and Carol Kane play the wonderfully unhappy married pair Miracle Max and Valerie, who dabble in the kind of magic that could perhaps give our fallen hero, Westley, new life. Despite Valerie's rants, Miracle Max manages to save the day and bids the rescue team farewell with the catchphrase, "Have fun stormin' da castle".
Christopher Walken In Pulp Fiction (1994)
Christopher Walken's monologue in Quentin Tarantino's masterwork Pulp Fiction, released in 1994, is one of the movie's most enduring passages. In his role as Captain Koons, Walken relates the tale of his father's gold watch and the lengths he took to ensure that it would be passed down to his son as a family relic to young Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis). As only Walken can, he delves into the obscene and profane specifics of how his father was able to conceal the watch while a five-year prisoner of war in Vietnam.
Evan Peters In X-Men: Days Of Future Past (2014)
Despite appearing on screen for only 5 minutes and 15 seconds in X-Men: Days of Future Past, Evan Peters (as Peter Maximoff/Quicksilver) is responsible for one of the finest movie scenes ever.
Drew Barrymore In Scream (1996)
She not only performed admirably in the 12-minute opening act, but she also received top billing, and the movie was promoted as being about her.
Kenneth Tigar In The Avengers (2012)
In this scene, Tigar plays an elderly man who refuses to bend down before Loki after the latter orders everyone to do so. The only person who challenges him is the elderly man with a German accent. This sentence has a murky double meaning that suggests the elderly man is a Holocaust survivor.
Anne Hathaway In Les Misérables (2012)
Just see how well she performed "I Dreamed a Dream"! Many people, anticipated the vocally impressive anthem version. Still, they actually got Anne delving into the subtleties and feelings that Fantine would genuinely experience at that precise moment. She's not singing it to hit every note exactly, but it's not a nice tune. She is a broken woman trying to sing while barely managing her emotions.
Bronson Pinchot In Beverly Hills Cop (1984)
Serge has an unclear regional accent. He famously offers Foley an espresso with "a lemon twist" after falling in love with him right away.
Judi Dench In Shakespeare In Love (1999)
Shakespeare in Love only had Judi Dench's Queen Elizabeth on screen for around eight minutes. Nevertheless, she was so outstanding and powerful that she took home the Best Supporting Actress Oscar.
Gloria Foster In The Matrix (1999)
If there is one thing, we can be sure of, Lana and Lily Wachowski's sci-fi epic The Matrix posed many issues for us to consider. As Neo (Keanu Reeves) embarks on a journey of self-discovery to save humanity against an evil race of sentient robots, The Oracle (Gloria Foster) was thankfully able to fill in some of the gaps about the who, what, and why of it all.
Viola Davis In Doubt (2008)
Acting opposite Meryl Streep, Viola Davis just had one scene—a mere eight minutes—but it was enough for her first Oscar nomination. She is both devastating and flawless in the film. With each tear, you can sense the agony in her character's face as she struggles to persuade herself that she is doing morally, even though she is aware that either position is doomed to failure. This scene demonstrates why Viola is the best, which is for a reason.
Matthew McConaughey In Wolf Of Wall Street (2013)
McConaughey is barely in two scenes of the movie, but when Leo DiCaprio stares at him and tries not to laugh while he pounds his chest, it's too hysterical. Truly unforgettable.
Jonathan Groff In Hamilton (2020)
Despite spending a total of nine minutes on stage, he received nominations for both a Tony and an Emmy for the performance. But let's not play around. He's worth it because he's Jonathan Groff.
Bill Murray In Little Shop Of Horrors (1986)
Arthur Denton is that patient, and the more painful his dental procedure is, the giddier he becomes.
Denis Ménochet In Inglourious Basterds (2009)
Denis Ménochet's portrayal doesn't overstate the significance of the historical truth that the scenario depicts. He uncomfortably puts us up close to the bottomless pathos and sorrow of a historically or fictionally underappreciated figure: a nameless, real hero whose sincere goal resulted in disaster and death, not triumph.
Gene Hackman In Young Frankenstein (1974)
The renowned Gene Hackman's one scene in the classic movie, which follows hard-boiled roles in movies like The French Connection (1971) and The Conversation (1974), was made even more unforgettable by the opportunity to witness him alter modes. His interaction with Peter Boyle's Frankenstein monster as Harold, the Blind Man, is undoubtedly the funniest moment of his over 60-year career.
Gary Oldman In True Romance (1993)
As he personifies the type of human garbage that engages in the flesh-peddling business, Oldman's portrayal of Spivey as a deranged and demented pimp is compelling. Oldman surely made the most of his one scene in the movie with his hazy eye, scarred visage, and scarcely understandable language.
Edie Mcclurg In Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987)
As she idly chats on the phone to a friend while oblivious to the angry customer, the "Car Rental Agent," as the character is credited, first comes out as overly upbeat. Nevertheless, she is ready to give it straight back to him following Neal's outburst.
Dave Bautista In Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
That replicant, Sapper Morton, is played by Dave Bautista. He is both physically and intellectually strong, as evidenced by the many books in his library.

That whole scene with the girl in #29 made me wince. It was hard to watch, but then so was the whole movie.
This.
