13) Martin Scorsese in Taxi Driver (1976)
Alfred Hitchcock popularized the idea of directors appearing in their own films. However, Martin Scorsese's brief appearance in his crime film Taxi Driver is truly unsettling. Midway through the film, Scorsese enters the backseat of the taxi driven by Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro), where he tells Travis that his wife is unfaithful after they arrive at her lover's apartment. In a short speech, Scorsese's angry husband admits he plans to kill his wife. The expression on Travis's face reveals everything, and it is remarkable when someone can make Travis seem calm and normal.
