10. Must. Get. On. Camera. - Gladiator

Behold, the greatest creepy in the history of movie extra work. Not content with being dropped into a background crowd, this man obviously decided that he had to get his face on camera, no matter what - even though he was lumbered with the slight problem of being sat behind a pillar.

No problem, though, he simply leans into the shot, without a care for the realism or immersion of the shot, mercifully stopping just short of waving manically and shouting "hi Mum!"

Kudos to him for being so aware of where the frame ended though. That's a real art.
