Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain (2001)
The traveling gnome was inspired by a rash of similar pranks played in England and France in the 1990s. In 1997, a French court convicted the leader of Front de Libération des Nains de Jardins (Garden Gnome Liberation Front) of stealing over 150 gnomes. The idea was later used in an advertising campaign for an Internet travel agency.

Pulp Fiction (1994)
In the diner when Mia orders her $5 shake, "Buddy Holly" (the waiter) asks her if she wants it "Martin and Lewis or Amos and Andy?" He is referring to two comedy duos - Martin and Lewis, two white men; Amos and Andy, two black men. Basically, he is asking her if she wants a vanilla shake or a chocolate shake. She has vanilla.
Did you know that? Well, I didn't :D03.
Chocolat (2000)
The scene where Alfred Molina (Comte Paul de Reynaud) eats the window display was shot on his last day of shooting in case he didn't feel well after eating all the chocolate. He didn't.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
Throughout the movie, the knights galloped--with their "bearers" clapping coconut halves together to simulate the noises of the horses' hooves--to pretend they were on horses.

Psycho (1960)
After the film's release Alfred Hitchcock received an angry letter from the father of a girl who refused to have a bath after seeing Les Diaboliques (1955) and now refused to shower after seeing this film. Hitchcock sent a note back simply saying, "Send her to the dry cleaners."

Music and Lyrics (2007)
