I just found out that Peyton List (Tory from Cobra Kai) played the little girl who gets saved along with her brother in the beginning of Spider-Man 2.

At the end of Scrooged, Frank screams he wants to live again while burning in his own coffin, thus causing his nightmare to end. Same thing happens in It's A Wonderful Life. George Bailey pleads to live again in the bridge, and his nightmare ends.
 
He’s actually in everything. I didn’t realize until earlier this year that he was Buggin Out in Do the Right Thing
yeah I was like OMG when I saw him as the guy in the truck stop arcade in Maximum Overdrive
 
this is more of a tv movie thing but in the tv movie Knight Rider 2000, as they are bringing in the female cop that got shot in the head to the hospital. they bring her into a room to scan her brain, on top of the machine that does the scan sits the 'mini tv' that they in 2 episodes of the series housed KITT's AI.
 
In the end credits of Silence of the Lambs, when Lecter is walking away into the crowd, watch him long enough, his hat falls off, and he chases after it, quickly puts it back on his head and gets back in character and continues to stroll down the street. :funny:
 
the live action Dumbo movie has 2 Penguin actors Danny DeVito and Colin Farrell. this the 3rd movie I seen that did that, the Inventing the Abbotts that had 2 Betty Ross's (Jen Connelly and Liv Tyler) and The Help which had 2 Gwen Stacy's (Emma Stone and Bryce Dallas Howard).

Out of Sight also had 2 Batman actors in it, George Clooney and Michael Keaton. Ditto for Jay and Silent Bob Reboot with Val Kilmer and Ben Affleck but that one is way more on the nose and self-referential with it.
 
Flo from the progressive insurance commercials was tv reporter in the Will Farrel movies blades of glory
 
In the first Toy Story, the gas station where Buzz and Woody get lost, is a Dinoco. Dinoco of course, being the big sponsor in Cars.
 
I just now realized that Dan Gillies from Vampire Diaries played MJ’s fiancé in Spider-Man 2. Never occurred to me until just now.
 
In the Dark Knight, when Batman, Dent and Gordon meet on the rooftop Gordon says

"All that was left in the vault were marked bills. They knew we were coming."

Because its almost a throwaway line I never really
paid much attention to it, other than it set up there being a mole in the police/DA's office.

Once you hear that line it puts the earlier shot of Gordon raiding the bank and kicking a pile of bills in frustration into a slightly different context.

I always assumed that the piles were just small leftovers from the main bulk of the cash.

But no, those piles were the marked bills which had been specifically removed from the rest and left behind to taunt Gordon. It shows the depth of the treachery and corruption- because not only did the mob get an early warning but they had the time and the information to locate and remove any possibility of the cash being tracked.
 
When Pixar's 'Brave' first came out, it got some criticism from critics and audiences (myself included) that it didn't have a real big antagonist, which wasn't a great look for Pixar's first female lead. And while I stand by my feelings on that movie, I can see that it also started the new Pixar formula, which we see in a lot of recent entries like 'Inside Out' 'Onward' 'Soul' and now 'Turning Red' where the main characters, although dealing with high-concept or otherworldly things, aren't fighting bad guys at all. They're just kinda fighting...life.

Which for many is the biggest struggle of all... they use issues like metaphors...

Good observation, I never really thought bout it like that.
