Sometimes we want to forget a film the second we walk out of the movie theatre, but sometimes we desire to get its copy and rewatch it again, and again, and again. Maybe the acting is captivating, perhaps the cinematography is beautiful, maybe it was based on interesting facts, or maybe the filmmakers have hidden so many easter eggs and tiny details within the scenes, you find something new every time you press play.
To show you how scrupulously some famous movies were made, Bored Panda has collected an eye-opening list of incredible movie details and behind the scenes shots. From Interstellar's cornfield to the Matrix's doorknob, it's no wonder why some films take years and years to make.

Did you know that The Shawshank Redemption was actually filmed at the Ohio State Reformatory, which is now one of the most haunted places in Ohio? Also I live in Ohio, so I'm pretty interested in Ohio ghost stories. I go to Stivers, the haunted school.
