1. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

3. "Back to the Future"
In films that talk about time travel, there are always a lot of interesting small and carefully designed details. A great example from "Back to the Future" is the change in the name of a center. In the beginning, we see Marty walking past the Twin Mall. Pines Mall ("Twin Pines"). Then he finds himself in the past. In that moment the city is still under construction and accidentally crashes into one of the very two pines. When he comes back the mall is called Lone Pine Mall ("Lone Pine").
4. "Spider-Man-2"
When writing a script, there are so many opportunities to joke or to hint at something that it is a sin not to use it. For example, in Spider-Man 2 has a scene in which Peter (Tobey Maguire) is standing on edge of the building and tells him to focus to jump. Then Peter falls off the side of a building and crashes into a Ford Focus, which of course same, proves its power by the fact that it remains intact. The writers obviously as should have laughed, adding this moment.
5. Cars
Pixar just can't help but hide in their movie some fun detail! Here is a landscape from the cartoon "Cars", and you see that the rocks are shaped like old classic cars.
6. Shaun the Zombies
The Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy, also known as the Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy three flavors of Cornetto" - a series of films that includes "Zombies named Sean", "Like tough cops" and "Armageddian". She is full of funny omens. But perhaps the best of them is presented in "Zombies by Sean's name. The protagonist's friend Ed (Nick Frost), in fact, lays out the whole the plot of the film, describing his plan for tomorrow:
"First of all, we'll hit the Bloody Mary, then we'll have a bite to eat in King's Head, grab a couple of beers at the Little Princess, bam — and head back to the bar for shots.” Sounds like planned booze all day, but everything he listed just happens when they are trying to fight off the zombies (metaphorically, of course).
First, they kill a zombie cashier in their yard by the name of Mary, then Sean's stepfather is bitten in the neck by a zombie (bite in the head), after that they go after Sean's ex (little princess) and a couple of her buddies (a couple of beers) to go back together to the Winchester bar and start the old a good shootout (“shots” - shots).
7. Lego. Movie"
What do they do with LEGO pieces? Obviously they are being played with touched with hands and fingerprints remain on them. Filmmakers thought about this moment and added fingerprintsbut shiny characters. Here is an example of very careful attention to detail!
8. "Get Out"
This is one of those moments that we notice, but understand its meaning a little later, when the plot develops further. In the scene on street, when the heroes are drinking soft drinks, and the housekeeper Georgina fills glasses, Missy accidentally hits her glass with a spoon. Georgina reacts to the unexpected sound strangely, as if she were in oblivion and suddenly woke up, but then again returns to the former state. Minor detail, but adds suspense well.
9. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
The Harry Potter films are huge and well-built. a universe full of interesting things. Something might have passed you by because the detail is very tiny: in the magical world, there are magical equivalents of famous brands of flakes. This picture shows that the breakfast in the great hall of Hogwarts students can choose different dishes, and one of them is a cereal called Cheeri-owls (the equivalent Cherrios).
10. The Shawshank Redemption
This is shown literally in passing, but the moment is interesting. When Red is reviewing his file to see if he's eligible for parole. liberation, we see his photograph in his youth. So here's to get a realistic likeness of what Morgan Freeman would look like in the age at which his character was sentenced, the director used a photo actor's son.
11. Lord of the Rings
The costume designers of The Lord of the Rings did their best by investing a lot of effort in creating costumes and armor. They even had two professional blacksmiths who forged weapons and armor specifically for filming. And there is one tiny and very sentimental detail. Everyone has it kingdoms their own special type of armor, but after the death of Boromir, Aragorn puts on his bracers and has not parted with them since.
12. Guardians of the Galaxy
Guardians is a sci-fi fantasy film about a motley team of galactic travelers, which includes tree man and a modified talking raccoon. Therefore, hardly anyone I found fault with the lack of realism. However, the filmmakers nevertheless tried to explain to us the reason why all these random characters from different parts of the galaxy can understand each other. When Quill is arrested, his body scan shows that in his neck implanted translator chip.
13. The Dark Knight
Director Christopher Nolan is well versed in movie Easter eggs and playing with small details. In The Dark Knight, he demonstrates the creative side of the Joker when he is in a truck chasing Batman. slogan on truck originally said: "Laughter is the best medicine," but this the nihilist villain added the letter S in front of him, so that the inscription turned out "Murder is the best medicine." Brilliant.
14. John Wick and John Wick 2
Here's another point that few people may have noticed - mainly because the films came out three years apart. Despite the large time gap in production, the story passed just a few days. Lest there be any doubt about it, the creators the film was very tried and carefully reproduced at the beginning of the second movie picture from the final of the first - with exactly the same cars (of the same makes and models) parked in front of the Continental.
15. "Moana"
In Moana, the main character discovers that her community is not has always lived on the land she calls her home. For throughout the film, we see that her people sailed the seas, which she always dreamed. And this is historically true and based on what researchers called the "Long Pause" - a period of time when Polynesian seafarers settled in the Pacific Islands after his long journey.
16. "Keepers"
Watchmen takes place in an alternate universe (obviously, there are also real superheroes), in which the US invaded Vietnam, having madethis country with another state. So every time when we see the stars and stripes on the screen, it has 51 stars, not 50.
17. The Truman Show
There are many details in this film which, although minor, are crucial to the plot - and it is they that make the main the hero begins to doubt the reality of what is happening, that his real life. Then the travel agent will enter the frame from the dressing room, forgetting to remove make-up bib, then some other glitch in the plot of the show will happen. Among other small but important details - a mandatory reception vitamin D in the morning (necessary due to the fact that Truman all his life is indoors). And this memorized salutatory phrase: "Good morning, and if I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening and good night", which is needed in order for the greeting to be received viewers from all time zones.
