Rango's Western Reference This would make sense considering Rango is ILM's first CG feature - but I'm pretty sure the shot is still referencing a different western. I'll post this on FaceBook and see if someone from ILM can answer it. +1 for the logical conclusion though ;) |

Was this movie the first usage of screen projection? I think I recall that same documentary - it also went on to describe how the Disney animators created the 'ID' monster and added all the other effects like the rocket engines etc. perhaps I am barking up the wrong tree - I'll dig around... |

Director's Cut, Editor's Cut, Theatrical Cut. What do these mean? Oops - my bad ;) |

Director's Cut, Editor's Cut, Theatrical Cut. What do these mean? Other than wbogazc's neat answer, perhaps the cuts made for airline presentations might be included. Also known as 'neutering'. |

Trying to Find Movie With A Peter Lorre Quotation For some reason I want to say it's from The Maltese Falcon (1941), but it's been a while since I saw it. |

What is the name of this Vietnam War-related movie? This sounds right to me. Distant Thunder is from 1988 and in the film, Ralph Macchio's character says, "This is what they do. Kill their selves by walking into trains?" |

What was the line that David Prowse said on Bespin set? I should point out that I've been doing some more digging, and several sites seem to think that he said "Obi-Wan IS your father," instead of 'KILLED'. I'm a bit of a geek, and am pretty sure it was actually 'killed', unless someone wants to offer up viable evidence to the contrary. |

Reference for 'headlight eyes' in Cars 2? Yep - you're spot on about Herbie, phwd, and that's a nice observation. I recall watching a special feature on the first film that showed the original inspiration for the looks of these cars as being a cartoon from the 50's called 'Susie, the Little Blue Coupe', but hadn't considered the Herbie angle. |

Which film was the first to show us the face of God? Not sure if Jesus is counted, but he is depicted at the end of Birth of a Nation. |

What is the significance of a man sitting on the train engine in the last scene of “Live and Let Die”? The character of Baron Samedi is actually based on a voodoo deity rather than a real person, and one might suppose that this would account for his otherworldly powers. It should also be noted that he is not a strictly 'villainous' character - the baron is relatively neutral in his meddling with the affairs of the living, and so does not need to die (as befits Bond baddies in general). There were also rumors that the Baron would be returning in one of the following films- but these rumors are uncorroborated. |

Western with extremely sweat-lathered horses His was a small role, and he was indeed an old man, but the gag never fails to make me laugh. I won't spoil it for you - it's a good film to watch late at night when you are drunk :) |

Western with extremely sweat-lathered horses Makes me think of Buster Keaton's infamous 'horse sweat' scene in 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum'. |

Identification : Film where colour fades throughout to represent dying protagonist I actually have a soft spot for this film. I was a big fan of Annabel Jankel and Rocky Morton (the directors) after their creation of Max Headroom and some superb 80's music videos, but they dropped the ball with their attempt at a Super Mario Bros movie. |
