Bill Murray does it at the end of Scrooged, trying to get the audience to sing along.

Bad video I know, but you get the point.

That is a staple component of John Hughes movies. Anthony Michael Hall does it in Sixteen Candles, Jon Cryer does it in Pretty in Pink, I think Judd Nelson does it in The Breakfast Club, and Matthew Broderick does it all through Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

The Beetles talk to the audiance at the end of Yellow Submarine. 

There's the end fight in Blazing Saddles where it breaks right out of the movie set and continues through movies other people are filming. 

There's also the scene in Gremlins 2 where the Gremlins mess up the film.  Depending on which versions you're watching, they either get John Wayne or Hulk Hogan to threaten the gremlins to get the movie started again. 

In Repossessed, the devil shows off her power by causing the film to break.

IMAGINE ME AND YOU has a pretty good one at the very end...Heck turns and smiles to the camera when he realizes the girl on the plane next to him "likes" him.  It's the perfect ending for this character.

Russ Meyer uses it a lot too. Especially Beneath The Valley Of The Ultra Vixens.

These aren't exactly fourth wall breaks in the sense of speaking to the audience, but they draw attention to the fact that they are acting.

One of my favourite sketches and fourth wall breaks is from A Bit of Fry and Laurie, where Hugh Laurie looks pointedly at Stephen Fry and says, "I don't know how you're going to finish this (sketch)."

Another is a what I believe is a Monty Python sketch.  A group of people are on a desert island, and we watch their progress as they run out of food and start to starve.  Then one of them points at the camera and says, 'wait a minute, what's that over there?'  The scene cuts to a wide shot of the group running towards the camera crew that were filming them!  Soon after, they have eaten all the camera crew's food, and you see the camera crew has joined them in starvation.  Then one of the camera crew points directly into the camera and says, 'wait a minute!'  Then there's another wide shot of both groups running towards a second camera crew!  And on it goes...

The recent Muppets movie was a very good about having these forth wall breaks.  I love the one where they suggest travel by map and cue the Indiana Jones style of traveling.

     The ROAD pictures had so many of them, you can't count them.

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

Nice thread. without doubt my favourite has to be the guy at the bar at the end of THE BIG LEBOWSKI. love the way they did it, perfect way to end a film

also - just in my opinion - I have to say I found the 4th wall break in FUNNY GAMES to be annoying and unnecessary, kind of like they were trying too hard to be different/original etc...

THE BEAST MUST DIE has almost a '5th' wall break, in the sense that the whole film stops and a narrator speaks to you/the audience telling you to try and make your mind up about who the werewolf is, then you get a 30 second countdown, then the film carries on from where it left off..

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
