24 Hour Party people, a movie about Factory Records, has a bunch of the actual people involved with the bands in the film.

Tony Wilson, the central character, plays a director who cuts Steve Coogan's version of himself intro the UK's Wheel of Fortrune
The guy from the Stone Roses is a audio technician
Paul Ryder, bassplayer for Happy Mondays, is a drug dealer.
The guy from the Fall has sex with Tony's Wife in a bathroom

Plus Christopher Eccelston is a homeless guy, Simon Pegg as a jouranlist, Kenny Baker is a elephant washer and not really a cameo but in a "i had no idea that was him" part Andy Serkis played Martin Hannett.
