The only thing better than watching your favorite movie for the first time is rewatching it time and time again. No matter how well you think you know a film, there's usually something you miss.
In keeping with the tradition of appeasing eagle-eyed moviegoers, here are 15 more movie details that I can almost guarantee fans would've missed their first time around.
"In Kubricks' Eyes Wide Shut (1999) when Tom Cruise stops at a newspaper booth to watch who's following him he picks up a newspaper with the title "lucky to be alive." - Reddit u/nickepickepo
This is one of those "blink and you'll miss it" type of moments. During the scene inside the cannabis bar, Eli can be seen at the back of the room smoking a bong and wearing a Boston Red Sox shirt.
"In HP and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001), Madame Hooch is wearing a Boatswain's Call. This is a high pitched[sic] naval whistle. Historically, it was used to pass commands to the crew when voices could not be heard over the sounds of the sea." - Reddit u/Numerous-Lemon
In the scene, Morticia Addams tells a story that makes all of the kids in the room start bawling their eyes out. In reality, Sonnenfeld himself told the kids that they were all going to be getting giant needles once they were done filming.
"In the 2019 animated Addams Family Movie, Fester sings a 'traditional song' in response to citizens of Assimilation singing. The song 'I haven't got a hat' is from a 1935 Merry Melodies cartoon of the same name, a property once owned by MGM - one of the companies that produced the movie." - Reddit u/Left_Hand_of_Jah
If you look closely, the line reads "No dragons were harmed in the making of this movie." I guess with animal rights activists being as militant as they are nowadays, you can't take any chances.
"In Zootopia (2016), Bellwether is wearing a little bell. In real life, a Bellwether is the leading sheep of a flock, with a bell around its neck to help direct the other sheep." - Reddit u/Russian_Bagel
If you look closely at Max's shirt, you'll see that it's comprised of swirls of green, purple, and red. These are the exact colors that the Sanderson Sisters wear later on in the film.

This one is a little hard to see, so you'll most likely have to pause the movie. The motto in the window reads, "Vincit qui se vincit." Roughly translated, it means "He conquers who conquers himself."

For this scene, Jim Carrey completely improvised the line "Do you wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?" If you look closely at Jeff Daniels, you can see him start to laugh and break character.

At the beginning of the movie, when Woody and Buzz first meet, Buzz shines his laser right in the middle of Woody's forehead. Later on, Sid burns a hole in Woody with a magnifying glass in the exact same spot!
