The Onion’s AV Club has a great list up of 19 awesome one scene wonders - or scenes where an actor comes in just for that scene and completely steals it. And while the choices on their list are great and include some of my favorites, they also missed a few - so here are 5 more one scene wonders along with takepart links so you can act.

1) Crispin Glover in Dead Man - you have to wait a little while for it, but it is completely worth it!

2) Alfred Molina in Boogie Nights - Complete with “Sister Christian” in the background, this is a hard scene to forget.

4) John Goodman in Oh Brother Where Art Thou? (ignore the review, watch the short J.G. clip) - The Coens seriously need to call Goodman up again, I miss him!

While he’s funny, John Goodman’s character is also scarey and racist, takepart to learn what you can do with the NAACP.

5) Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson, Tim Robbins and Ben Stiller in Anchorman - there are always great cameos in comedies and this one packs more into one scene than most and in turn makes fun of the cameo trend.
