If you mean Red 2010, I've always watched it.
I didn't know there's a 2008 version too. I'll check ti see if I can find it on DVD.
Many thanks for suggesting.

I believe you and I are of one mind on this particular point, Micron.

Another crazy comedy is 'What's up, doc". Probably the funniest line (as far as I am concerned) is at the end of the movie where Barbara Streisand says "love means you never have to say you're sorry" in which Ryan O'Neal replies "That's the dumbest thing I ever heard ". Which is in reference to the movie "Love Story" that he was in. But there are a lot of crazy things that happen in the movie.

How bout when you see the camera gear in car paint or windows, I'm always checking for that.

Actually, since I got my new UHD TV a few months ago, I have started noticing light setup reflections in their eyes. Now THAT is a trip.

The one that always stands out to me was in Plan 9 From Outer Space where the overhead lights in the cemetery scene, which was shot indoors, showed lens flare on the finished print. But there were SO many goofs, glitches, and "gotchas" that we could submit the whole movie. I found this little tidbit interesting about it: The movie credits Bela Lugosi as starring in the flick, but he died before shooting started. Rather than having to redo the credits and ad posters, they just used stock footage so that he never had to speak a line. The few times they couldn't overlay him in, they used his dentist as a stand-in, never mind that the dentist was a foot taller and blond-haired. But he lifted up his cloak to hide his face so nobody would know. (??!!!?!)

Ever seen the guys (camera man, gaffer, whatever) in the mirror when Alistair Sim is looking in it after being visited by ghosts all night?

There's a great one in Terminator just before the truck blows up at the end, there is a close up of the front grill / bumper and a perfect shot of the rope attached to the bumper of the model truck they were pulling along by hand before they detonated it

In a lot of action movies. If you look closely, you can see ramps, ropes, etc. on the cars. I forget which movie it is (made in the 60's). Where they 'simulate' a avalanche. If watch closely, you can see someone's hand pushing the snow down the 'mountain'.

Let's not forget the Bert Gordon B-movies of the 1950s, drive-in scream fests. There is one in which the special effect is a tarantula crawling up a building... well, actually a tarantula crawling along a suitably tilted PICTURE of a building. The shadows give it away.

On a different tack...
By far the strangest movie I have ever seen was Eraserhead. Typically weird David Lynch film I saw maybe 20 years ago that, from memory, was just unnerving / confusing the whole way through.
(Added bonus - you'll also get to see where MajP gets his profile pic from)

At least now I know where @MajP 's avatar came from. I wonder if he loves this movie:
Considering this picture's high point in IMDB, I tried to rent the DVD and watch it. But seeing several photos of the scene, seems to be a little grotesque for me. I changed my mind.

We streamed Hatari! recently. Not a great movie by any means. But interesting in the techniques they used to use to catch the animals for the zoo. Also reading up about the movie. They did not use stuntmen for the scenes where they were capturing the animals. John Wayne was really riding of the front of that truck!!!. Also there is a scene where a rhino is loose. That actually happened when filming and they kept as part of the movie.
Recently I'm going through old movies . Most of what I watch, belongs to a time that I'm not even born. I recently watched:
A Patch of Blue (1965)
My Man Godfrey (1936)
A Raisin In The Sun (1961)
How To Murder Your Wife (1965)
I added your suggestion to watch this weekend.
Thanks.

Not a movie, but a series. I've started watching "Raised by Wolves", by Ridley Scott. He has done some amazing films, such as Blade Runner. This is also a sci-fi thing. Liking it so far, after a bit of a slow start. Good if you like androids!

Fun movies. I think they did an amazing job of being "inside" a video game.
