In Project Hail Mary (2026), Rocky gives Grace a thumbs-down in this scene after their ships have already detached. Because sound cannot travel through space but light can, Rocky can no longer "see" the ship with his echolocation but knows Grace can see him, making the gesture an act of faith.

In Frankenstein (1931) Victor Frankenstein throws dirt in the face of death.
He does it literally here in the grave yard as he digs up the body, but also metaphorically as he is about to bring a dead body back to life.

Catherine Hicks checks out Leonard Nimoy's butt in Star Trek IV (1986)
there is a clear moment in Star Trek IV when Kirk and Spock are walking past the truck that Catherin Hicks is driving. Hicks slowly and deliberately looks down at Spock's ass.
It's reported that Nimoy (who was directing) found this hilarious and deliberately left it in the final cut.

Stevenson Taylor Hall was used to represent Stately Wayne Manor for these media.

Midsommar (2019) Pelle presents Dani with a portrait he drew of her, the same signature is later seen on the frock Dani is wearing to compete for May Queen.
Presumably signifying Dani is Pelles "offering".

Back to the Future (1985) - Twin Pines Mall chase, Marty didn’t accidentally go back in time. He chose to.
I've watched Back to the Future probably a hundred times. It's my favorite movie ever made, but I caught something on my latest rewatch that I've apparently been missing my whole life.
The Twin Pines Mall scene. Libyans chasing Marty. For years I always saw it the same way: Marty panics, speeds away, accidentally hits 88, boom. 1955.
But this time I actually watched it. There's a while in there when Marty glances down at the speedometer, sees the needle climbing toward 88, and just…holds it. He's got a few seconds. He could brake. He could swerve. He could try literally anything else.
He doesn't. He floors it.
And that completely changed the movie for me. Marty isn't choosing 1955, there's no way he knows what date Doc has loaded in. But he definitely knew two things: 88 mph = time travel, and these guys are about to kill me.
So it's not "oops, I accidentally went back in time."
It's "I'm dead if I stay here, so I'm taking the time machine."

In Project Hail Mary (2026) the final destination of the ship is foreshadowed almost immediately.
The ship contains similar glyphs to what was placed on Voyager 1, a spacecraft sent into deep space. The symbols and records are meant to convey what humanity is, who we are and where we live in case it ever got picked up by some alien civilization.
As Grace is exploring the ship for the first time after being awoken, he finds these. The only reason Nasa would put one of these on a ship was if it was never made to return to earth. Which is exactly what was intended for the Hail Mary.

Knives Out (2019): Toni Collette mistakenly uses her natural Australian pronunciation of “simultaneously”. She then decides to go with it because she thinks the character is just that pretentious.
In Anglo-Australian English, simultaneously is pronounced with a short i-sound. Though she’s playing an American as Joni, Toni Collette mistakenly used her natural Australian accent to pronounce that word in one of her lines. She then decides she wants to leave it in because Joni would absolutely be the type to take a trip to the UK or Australia and pretentiously adopt foreign pronunciations for no reason.

In Hot Fuzz (2007), Inspector Frank Butterman has "VR" (Victoria Regina) on his helmet instead of "ER" (Elizabeth Regina).
I'm not entirely sure why, but it probably represents his affinity with a more traditional past.

In Total Recall (1990), when checking his handwriting to see if it's the same, Quaid's pen at the hotel check-in is ironically red-capped but black-inked, a nod to the search for sameness and identity inside/beneath.
It mirrors his search for who he really is "inside" and what his actual identity is, whether Quaid or Hauser and whether the events are real or just a dream. It's a small detail pointing to things not always being what they seem underneath.

Technically an 18 min short film, Michael Jackson’s “Bad” has a quick shot of a wanted poster being ripped off the wall. The man in the poster is Martin Scorsese who directed the film.

In 1999s DEEP BLUE SEA I noticed a familiar license plate!
Started watching a childhood fav (Deep Blue Sea) and thought to myself lemme see this license pate for the first time ever and low n behold it’s the same one removed from the belly of the tiger. Not to mention the shark in which this one was removed was also a “tiger” shark.

In She's Out of My League (2010) in the final climax (not Kirk's early bird special) outside the airport you can hear a reference to the movie Airplane (1980) in the background with the airport broadcasting about white loading zones.
The movie is wildly underrated.
