For what it's worth, I believe that the best Stan Lee cameo ever was in Mallrats. :-) For those that are wondering why newer films are not included in the montage, fret not — the creator of the compilation plans on updating it with Mr. Lee's cameos in Iron Man 2, Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger.
