Line 199:
* In ''[[An American Haunting]]'', Sissy Spacek plays the mother of a teenaged girl named [[Alliterative Name|Betsy Bell]] who is constantly plagued by supernatural events... something Spacek should be quite familiar with, given that her most famous role was the eponymous telekinetic teen in ''[[Carrie]]''. The comparison becomes even more apt when it's revealed that {{spoiler|the source of the ghostly attacks was Betsy herself, manifesting the Bell Witch to protect herself from her sexually abusive father}}.
* In ''[[Avatar (film)|Avatar]]'', Grace Augustine - played by Stanford alumna [[Sigourney Weaver]] - sometimes wears a Na'vi-size Stanford tank top on her avatar body.
* In ''[[Harry Potter (film)|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1]]'', a promotional poster for ''[[Equus]]'' appears on the wall of a cafe that the [[Power Trio]] ends up in, referencing [[Daniel Radcliffe]]'s [[Contractual Purity|controversial decision]] to [[Male Frontal Nudity|take on more mature fare]] while the ''Potter'' series was still running. Apparently, [[Self-Deprecation|it was his idea to put it there]].
** The actor who briefly played young Grindelwald in ''Deathly Hallows'' was the same as an actor who has played [[The Picture of Dorian Gray|Dorian Gray]]. The comparison is apt, as [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3894917/1/A_Very_Young_Girls_Record_of_Her_Own_Impressions others have noticed].
** In ''The SorcererPhilosopher's Stone'', John Hurt's character has a similar costume to [[The Storyteller (TV series)|the Storyteller.]]
* In ''[[RED (film)]]'', [[Bruce Willis]]' character proclaims a lock to be "[[Unbreakable]]". Also, [[John Malkovich]]'s character remarks "I remember when the Secret Service used to be tougher", referencing his role in ''[[In the Line of Fire]]''.
* In the B-movie, ''Gryphon'', one of Jonathan LaPaglia's lines is "[[Seven Days]]," spoken in such a way that it must have been intentional.
