IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT -- it's supposed to be sweltering in Mississippi ... and yet outside the diner the breaths of the performers are noticeably frosty.

There's a theater showing "Alexander Nevsky" in Red Dawn. An Eisenstein film festival in occupied Colorado! First time I saw that I laughed out loud. Sometimes I think that film is tongue in cheek but on the other hand, Milius is rather eccentric. He's the inspiration for John Goodman's character in The Big Lebowski.

The movie marquee in a scene in Spielberg produced GREMLINS features the working titles for E.T. and CLOSE ENCOUNTERS respectively.

bravo, Can’t believe we were both thinking of movie marquees at the same time.

They get sprinklers going to drench the performers, but can't hide the bright sunlight and attendant shadows giving the whole thing away.

But ya know what else I missed when I saw Bridge Of Spies? There were no multiplexes in '60-'61. To be perfectly accurate, there are isolated accounts of "twinned" theaters here and there going back to the '30s and even '20s, but the three, four or five-screen multiplex didn't become commonplace even in the U.S. until the '70s.

Apparently there are numerous Shining references in the Toy Story films. This probably the most obvious

Bridge of Spies goes up to the deal to get Francis Gary Powers back after his U-2 was shot down, which came to a conclusion in 1962.

And also: BRIDGE OF SPIES is set in 1957. ONE, TWO, THREE premiered in 1961. If I recall, the story does begin in '57, but a major plot point later in the film involves Donovan's negotiations for the release of U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers, who was shot down over the USSR in mid-'60. Had to look this next part up, but the "bridge of spies" swap of Powers for a KGB officer that climaxes the film took place in Feb '62. Spielberg was on safe ground for Spartacus and One, Two, Three, looks like. Can't say much about the other titles, except that one of them looks like Die Verdammten ( The Damned). I know only of the 1969 Visconti film of that name.

If you look closely, it has 'VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED' underneath in smaller lettering: youtu.be/DDdz9TUy6sU?t=6816If there is a goof, it was not calling the 1960 horror movie ' Das Dorf der Verdammten', which was apparently its West German release title.

IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT -- it's supposed to be sweltering in Mississippi ... and yet outside the diner the breaths of the performers are noticeably frosty. Having just rewatched this recently and from reading trivia about it online, I learned that a lot of the scenes were filmed in Illinois due to fears that racist southerners would picket or protest or worse. Could be the scene you mention.

HOME FROM THE HILL The leaded glass lampshade shown in Rafe's living quarters is a Duffner and Kimberly "Owl" lamp and was part of the holdings of the MGM prop department. As such, it was featured in many other films made by the studio, including Mannequin (1937), Ziegfeld Girl (1941) and Young Ideas (1943). From the 1930s through the 1960s stained glass lampshades had fallen so completely out of fashion that the inclusion of one as set decoration in a contemporary film was a kind of shorthand used by the art department to indicate that the home being shown was either poor or unfashionable. Presently, however, these shades are quite collectible and one of these D&K "owl" shades can easily sell for over $5000. Images being sought, Doghouse6

Recycling
In The Roaring Twenties, a montage features a shot of gangsters bombing a storefront. This shot is actually an alternate angle of the bombing of a store in The Public Enemy (1931), and the same shot is notably also used in a similar montage for Angels with Dirty Faces (1938).

When watching Boyz n the Hood one aspect of character development which perhaps I noticed was how Ricky eats within every scene, symbolizing his hung perhaps to leave the hood as well.
