36 Film Mistakes People May or May Not Have Caught

Films are a wonderful thing sometimes. They provide an entertaining distraction from every day life. Sometimes, these films have what are called "Easter eggs", secrets or things that you might notice that not everyone else does. According to MSN.com page eBaum's World, here are 36 film mistakes people may or may not have caught.

5. In the film Evan Almighty, Morgan Freeman approaches, as God, disguised as a waiter. His name tag reads Al Mighty

6. In The Wolf of Wall Street, Jordan Belfort is seen sitting in front of Lake Geneva while the banker is in front of an aquarium. This was done with the deliberate intention of stating that a big fish was working with a small fish

14. In the film Titanic, a little boy is seen playing with a spinning top on deck. This is a recreation of an actual photo taken aboard the ship on April 11, 1912. It was taken by a photographer named Francis Browne. It shows a First Class passenger named Frederic Spedden and his six year old son Douglas. Both survived the sinking of the Titanic

15. The rebel soldiers in Star Wars: The Last Jedi were played by Mark Hamill's actual children. From left to right: Nathan Hamill, Chelsea Hamill, Griffin Hamill

20 Iconic Films That Should Never Be Remade

In an era where people seem to be recycling old films and making them new with many changes, there are some films that just shouldn't be touched. They should be left alone. According to MSN.com page YardBarker, to writer Acacia Deadrick, here are 20 films they think should be left alone and not remade

To be technical, some of these films have had remakes done of them

1. The Sound of Music

-If you're a fan of musicals, then this film is absolute perfection. Julie Andrews was amazing in this film and it would be practically unheard of to even contemplate a remake of this iconic film

2. The Wizard of Oz

-This movie has a particular magic that made it work for that time period. Sometimes things are done right on the first try and this film is a perfect example

-There have been spinoffs of this film, like The Wiz. This was a sort of remake only using a predominantly black cast. It was good in its own way

3. It's a Wonderful Life

-Christmas movies are not remade for the reason being that it's not necessary. It's a Wonderful Life is one movie that should never be remade. It's message is simple, but loud and clear. It's a classic that should be left as is

4. Breakfast at Tiffany's

-Audrey Hepburn was a rare breed of actress. She had the qualities that most modern Hollywood actresses just seem to be lacking. No one could ever play Holly Golightly as well as Audrey Hepburn did in 1961

5. The Godfather

-This film should never be remade. It was perfectly made at that time. The cast, script and more were perfect. It's better if no remakes are made. There would be no way to capture the same power in a remake that the original film had

6. The Birds

-It's strongly considered that if this film were made today, using the CGI technology and other technology we now have, this film would have become 100% scarier than the original. It would probably also be safer for the lead actress, since she would not have birds thrown at her. Alfred Hitchcock was known for making his films of the variety that involved the sense of not knowing what's around the next corner, psychological and suspense-type thrills. No technology can replicate what this great director did

7. Casablanca

-Considered to be one of the greatest love stories in all of cinema history, there's no way that this film could be remade using today's technology. To this day, people still quote the film, despite being released in 1942. If that's not the world's biggest sign to avoid a remake, nothing is

8. Rocky

-There were dozens of sequels and spinoffs to this movie. Nothing beats the original. Rocky is not a character like James Bond or Batman, that needs various sequels of him fighting different people. Sylvester Stallone made the character Rocky unique and it should be left alone

9. Grease

-Some musicals have become just as successful on the big screen as they were on the stage. Some, not so much. Grease is one musical that was able to become successful on the big screen. The movie seems a bit dated, seeing as it was made in the mid to late 1970s. If it were remade using today's technology, a lot of work would need to be done. But this would destroy the charm of the original. Unfortunately, a sequel was made to this movie, taking place in 1961 instead of the 1950s like the original

10. Titanic

-This is one of those films that most think everyone should see at least once in their life. It almost takes you back to the time period of 1912. The reason the movie is so long is because it was made to last the same amount of time as it took for the actual Titanic to sink. Overall, the music, the clothing, the casting, everything is good

11. When Harry Met Sally

-Considered, by some, to be one of the best romantic comedies out there, this movie has great writing, great casting and everything seems perfect

12. Forrest Gump

-Anything that wins Best Picture at the Academy Awards should be left alone. No remakes! This film is one of the best known films for Tom Hanks and people still reference / quote this film to this day

13. The Breakfast Club

-John Hughes knew his way around a movie. He knew how to make movies good. This is one of his number one best movies. To this day, people still quote / reference the film because it's made that much of an impact on people. It would be hard to do this movie today. It would be nothing more than teenagers staring at their phones, not talking at all

14. A Christmas Story

-There is a charm with this movie that you could not achieve had you remade it using today's technology. There's charm in almost every scene, from Ralphie meeting Santa and telling him he wants a BB gun to Flick sticking his tongue to the frozen pole. There was a sequel made, but hardly anyone watched it and it, more or less, disappeared off of the face of the planet. To make a remake in today's world would go over just about as well as the sequel

15. Jaws

-There have been sequels to this movie, but nothing beats the original. It doesn't rely on overt blood and violence. The only blood you see are from the unfortunate victims of the shark attack. But that's normal when a shark attacks. Overall, the movie is more suspenseful than gory and scary and everything seems perfect for the time period in which it was released

16. Pulp Fiction

-Quentin Tarantino has a quirky way of filming movies. He pulled together Uma Thurman, Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta together to film this quirky movie. To remake it would ignite a regular World War III with the fans

17. The Truman Show

-Considering this movie was so bizarre to begin with, making a remake would be useless. It's unclear how even the first one made it on to the big screens

18. The Shawshank Redemption

-Morgan Freeman gave an impressive performance in this film. For someone to try and remake this film using today's technology would be wrong. You can remake something that is already good; you might end up ruining it

19. Airplane!

-This comedy film should be left alone. No remakes. If it were remade using today's technology, a lot of the suggestive jokes from the original would not even make it into the new version of the film. Simply put, making it using today's technology would make it far less funny

20. Toy Story

-This is one of those films that does not need a live action version. Lately, Disney has been jumping on the live-action bandwagon and trying to create live-action versions of their Disney movies. Toy Story needs to be left alone. Even after all the years it's been around, it's still popular with both kids and adults
