1. Harry Potter - Cereal thriller

In the Harry Potter movies, directors paid incredible attention to detail to every scene. Particularly cute are the hidden parodies of real world cereals - such as "Cheeri-Owls"

2. Home Alone - Barking mad

Home Alone is everyone's favourite 'sadistic child tortures home invaders with a series of crude booby traps' movie. One beloved scene shows Kevin going through Buzz's belongings and exclaiming "woof" over a picture of his girlfriend. Director Christopher Colombus thought it was too mean to show a picture of a real girl so he had the Art Director's son dress up as one instead

3. Batman Returns - Curious...

Tim Burton's Batman sequel was arguably better than the original. That was in no small way down to Michelle Pfeiffer's turn as the sexy Catwoman/Selina Kyle. And in this early scene, Burton used the shadow on Selina's glasses to foreshadow her feline alter-ego

4. Star Trek - Kirk runs a dry ship

JJ Abrams dragged Star Trek kicking and screaming into the modern age with his 2009 reboot. But the new look Starship Enterprise still included a Dyson hand-dryer doubling up as a high-tech space computer

5. Up - Can't stop progress

Pixar's Up was the heart-wrenching story of a couple growing old together which had us crying in the first ten minutes. A major theme is how you can't stop progress. And this beautiful mirror sequence shows that perfectly. If you look in the background you can see the changing landscape of the city

7. Shaun of the Dead - Dead clever

Everything that happens later in Simon Pegg's Zombie-Rom-Com is cleverly foreshadowed in a speech by his loser best mate at the start of the flick

8. The Matrix - Camera tricks

In Keanu Reeve's mindbending action flick The Matrix, the directors couldn't work out how to hide the camera in the reflection in the doorknob. So they threw a leather jacket over it to match Morpheus

9. Spider-Man 2 - Car-azy

In Sam Raimi's Spider-Man sequel, Peter Parker jumps off a building saying: 'I need a strong focus'. Moments later he lands on a Ford Focus and bounces off without denting it

10. Interstellar - Not too corny

In Christopher Nolan's sci-fi film Interstellar, the director did not want a fake looking cornfield for a scene when a character drives through the crops. Instead, he planted 500 acres of corn then sold it off for a massive profit

14. Pulp Fiction/Kill Bill - When worlds collide

Uma Thurman's character in Pulp Fiction seems to eerily predict the death squad characters for Tarantino's later movie, Kill Bill. And Uma even predicts she'll star in it

15. Back To The Future - Get the point?

Back To The Future is full of little details. Like how the Twin Pine Mall changed its name after Marty ran over one of its trees - to the Lone Pine Mall
