I also thought Vision Quest being changed to Merlin’s Quest in the modern day with nothing but a small paint job was very funny.

This is probably obvious for Us but the films in the beginning flanking the TV showing the Hands Across America ad seem to be thematic. There's C.H.U.D. and Goonies, both of which deal with underground tunnels, then The Right Stuff which might imply that something about the tethered project was part of the cold war?

in the movie die hard, hans gruber wears a suit. later he says that he purchases suits, this is most likely so that he can later wear them.

She (Red) also goes "This is OUR time" as an additional Goonies connection. Of course that's probably the best kind of "war speech" she has experienced in her 6 years above the ground.

Also in the movie Die Hard, McLane sufferers from erectile dysfunction. This is the primary source of stress in his marriage. John McLane can only gain an erection in the moment of death, which he is trying to do through increasingly complicated scenarios throughout the series. This is the source of the title, and also what makes the series a profound tragedy. He's got a tough nut to crack.

In the opening scene of the movie Snatch, it shows Benicio Del Toro and his crew robbing a jewlers, looking for a specific diamond 'the size of a fist'. At one point he pointedly asks the jewler "Where. Is. The. Stoooone" in a specific cadence. In Infinity War, Thanos is at the Collector's place looking for one of the infinity stones. He asks the Collector "Where. Is. The. Stooone." in almost the same cadence - The Collector is played by Benicio. Could be complete coincidence but I'm going to go on believing it's not.

In The Dark Knight, the Joker says "Let's put a smile on that face." It's not just a reference to him being a clown that would be expected to make others laugh - he's talking about cutting up her face in the SHAPE of a smile. There's even a knife visible in the scene when he says it.

A subtle thing in Casablanca that most people never mention - we aren't actually seeing a moving image at any point in the film. We are actually seeing a rapid series of photographs cleverly timed and synced to an audio recording.

Re-watched Deliverance this afternoon I guess because I wanted to watch 4 guys worse off than me having a tougher time of things. In one of the opening scenes, Drew is playing guitars with the inbred kid and the hillbilly takes the jam to the next level and dusts him until Drew can't keep up. Drew says "I'm lost..." and gives up the duet. Later on when "That Scene" happens, Bobby tells one of the hillbilly rapists "you know what? You're right. We're lost"

I'm curious if anyone can recall any wonderfully subtle moments from directors not at all known for their subtlety- maybe not so much the nods and references that any clod could do, but neat little meta or story flourishes that you might miss on a fifth or sixth viewing- this popped into my head because when someone asked about specifically subtlety-loving directors like Charlie Kaufman I immediately thought of the joke answers "Kevin Smith" and "Uwe Boll" I know there's a lot of implied shared universe connection stuff with Smith but that just reads as a logical extension of his love of comics universes, and a thing that he hopes people key into rather than letting it lie without explanation or even attention drawn. I've only seen his first four or five movies tho- I vividly remember the moment I thought 'huh I'm too old for this', and it was watching the commentary on Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back where he says "yeah they have a monkey in this scene because we were like 'can we get a monkey' as a joke and the studio said 'sure' so we put a monkey in for no reason" funny story! bad for movie.

I might have mentioned this before but Young Frankenstein is one of my dad's favorite films, and on the bit where they're climbing the stairs, somebody warns (the Frau?) "stay close to the candles, the stairs are treacherous..." and he gasped and said "I NEVER NOTICED THAT BEFORE" the candles aren't lit

Watching Into the Spiderverse again I caught a few extra subtle moments in a sea of them. I'm sure I'm the last person to notice, but the police call themselves PDNY instead of NYPD and at the end the dad curses his C-Mobile cellular service. But really, pause the movie at any random spot and there's probably a subtle moment.

Earlier in the scene they were stumbling over each other but then they figured out teamwork and got in sync figuratively and literally.

The official name of the movie is Best Movie of 2018 Spider-Verse. Also, during one of the flashes to another universe there's a display promoting a stage show called "Hi, Hello", a nod to John Mulaney's show "Oh, Hello".

I've skipped out on Your Name because everything else Makoto Shinkai has done has been utterly dreadful. Children Who Chase Lost Voices was 2 hours of "Remember that one shot from Nausicaa/Princess Mononoke/Spirited Away/Castle in the Sky? It's here too!"

Ho. ly. poo poo. The offset framerate thing. That's incredible. Something no viewer would ever notice consciously at regular speed, but presumably it has enough of a subconscious impact that it feels all-the-more satisfying when their animations DO sync up later.

I cried weepy man tears at this movie. Edit: and not because it was cheaply tugging at my heart strings. I was just so full of emotion for the characters. So invested in what was happening. Great movie.

Makoto Shinkai had a crush on a girl he liked in high school but they never got back together. I don't know if this is true or not but basically everything he's made that I've seen besides Mirai leads me to believe it's true.

It's not really all that subtle I guess, but as a seafarer, I appreciated that in Pacific Rim the Jaegers all had correct port-starboard lights. You know, since they operate in the ocean.
