List of filmmakers' signatures

This is a list of filmmakers' signatures or Easter eggs that are found in many of their works which become signatures or trademarks. These are usually inconsequential small elements like signs which are inside jokes, cameos or references to other works. For this list, the term filmmakers is used loosely and would include directors, producers, actors, animators, and production companies.

Hidden Mickey is a representation of Mickey Mouse that has been inserted subtly into Disney movies and other products.
Alfred Hitchcock cameos became one of Hitchcock's signatures; and fans would make sport of trying to spot his cameos. Cameos by the director are also a frequent feature of the films of Sir Peter Jackson.
