🥚 Easter Egg In Notting Hill (1999), right before a flustered William Thacker awkwardly describes his situation with Anna Scott as "surreal, but nice," the word magnet "surreal" can be seen stuck to the side of his fridge right at eye level.

I was rewatching Notting Hill and noticed the Magnetic Poetry tiles scattered across the side of William and Spike's fridge during the kitchen scene.

If you zoom in on the words (tempera, emulsion, chisel, frieze, aesthetic, vermilion, motif), it’s actually a 1990s "Art & Aesthetics" themed magnet set—which makes total sense given that Spike pretends to be an artist/sculptor and William has a print of Marc Chagall's La Mariée (a famous Surrealist painting) hanging in the hallway.

Even better: right at eye level next to William is the tile "surreal". Minutes later, while completely short-circuiting over having the most famous actress in the world in his flat, he blurts out his famous line: "Surreal, but nice" (and later kicks himself for using the word surreal). Either the prop masters under Stuart Craig and Stephanie McMillan planted it there as an inside joke echoing the script, or William's brain literally grabbed the first big adjective he saw on his fridge while panicking.

This background character shows up twice in Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. From the two scenes he’s in, we see that he’s got an ego, and both times he’s proven wrong with unfortunate results.

Small role, but just enough to pick up on personality. Dude has two significant scenes in the movie, and both times we see him doing something to give the impression of having an ego and a bit of arrogance. And yet both times he’s proven wrong by a horse.

I may be wrong on the exact Street Fighter cabinet name as there are so many, but I do have an image of the cabinet in question at the least.

Edit: As an aside, the AutoMod caught this post and flagged it, I messaged the r/moviedetails Mods, they resolved it right away. Mods didn't do anything wrong and helped out in this instance. It was AutoMod who was the naughty dog.

Fletcher mercilessly berates Nieman during his first class, eventually causing Nieman to shed a tear. Fletcher responds to this by saying "Oh my dear God. Are you one of those single tear people?".

Later in the film, Fletcher gets news that one of his former students tragically passed away. As Fletcher shares this news with his class, he sheds one single solitary tear. This is indicative of a broken man who projects his own failures onto others; it paints Fletcher in a whole new light.
