Not a director, but I like the scene with Forrest J Ackerman in the book shop carrying a copy "Famous Monsters of Filmland."

Forry Ackerman also appeared in Peter Jackson's Braindead with a copy of 'Famous Monsters' in the zoo sequence.

I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but Alfred Hitchcock cameos go without saying and are part of cinema history and folklore.

I was watching The Godfather: Part II earlier on and I'm pretty sure I spotted Roger Corman in a courtroom scene.

Werner Herzog is in Jack Reacher,not seen it,but seeing as he's the head baddie im assuming its more than a cameo?

From what I've read, I gather he's playing a major role and is an inspired piece of casting; definitely one of the main reasons to see the film.

I've just re-read the film reviews page in The Week, which creates a review by using quotes and opinions from numerous critics worldwide, concludes its 3/4 star review of Jack Reacher with:

"Yet the "masterstroke" here is the casting of arthouse director Herzog: his chilling turn as the villain is reason enough to see this movie."

Yeah, he's one of the Senators. He's also in Silence of the Lambs, along with George A Romero and I think, Scream 3
