When I was very young, whenever I would watch a video, there would be this nagging worry in the back of my mind that I was inconveniencing the actors by making them come over and act out the movie all over again.

A friend of mine said when he was 15: How could they film "Schindler's List" when it happened? (since it is in black and white)

I thought that there was a 'most handsome man on the planet' and that it was Christopher Reeve because my mother always told me that. Therefore, when someone was considered 'handsome', I thought it was because they looked a little bit like Christopher Reeve.

i used to believe that they really killed Indians on westerns.

When I was pregnant my 7 year old cousin had a hard time understanding how I got into an 18 movie with my 'baby'.

G-fan

A friend of mine (she is 34) was a big fan of an actor called Keith O'Sullivan. It was only very recently that we discovered that she was in fact talking about Kiefer Sutherland.

after i saw the Indiana Jones, Temple of Doom movie, i was terrified for days that the mean man in the movie was going to jump thru my window and take my heart out.

I believed that the film "Home Alone" was actually called "Homer Lone" and that that was the name of Macaulay Culkins character.

I used to think that Jawas(from Star wars) were real and from some far off country and would fix your tv n stuff.

My mom thinks im cool.

Well, growing up, my mom raised me really weird (she was a germaphobe and stuff) and whenever I saw kissing in movies, I would be disgusted and think about all the germs they would be spreading, and how would they be pretending to kiss each other like that when I thought that only people in love kissed each other. So I kept thinking of possible ways they could be kissing appropriate and without spreading germs. One idea was they had pieces of plastic stuck to their lips when they were making out.

I thought there was only one copy of a movie and you had to wait til it got to your town,

quagmire

I used to believe, after watching "The Blob" at a young age, that having nothing touch the floor (i.e.- my bed covers) would keep it from oozing onto my bed at night. That fear diminished, however, during the winters, since the Blob couldn't survive in the cold.

I saw Batman when I was eight. It completely freaked me out, because here was this human guy, not in any way superhuman, leaping around in tights of a night. It made me suspicious. I suspected several adults of being secret vigilantes.

I had a friend who, as a child, used to think that name of our local movie theater was "a theater near you" because of the commercials that always said "coming soon to a theater near you" :-)

When a movie covered a large number of years, I believed that a portion was filmed, then several years passed for the actors to grow older before finishing the movie. How else could the people grow old?

I was (and still am) a big fan of Mary Poppins it was truly magical and eveything seemed to be real. I honestly thought that you could fit anything in a carpet bag,fly up chimneys and float when you laugh but out of all of them i thought you could jump into chalk pictures. As i was out with my mum when i was little, we walked past an artist drawing chalk pictures and i stood by one. I did the little rhyme by Bert in the film and jumped onto the picture. I opened my eyes only to find an angry artist staring at me. Before he could do anything my mum apologised and quickly dragged me away. I was so disappointed that it didn't work.

Rhiannon

I used to believe that when that they were filming The Wizard Of Oz that thay invented colored movies and they had half black and white,half colored movie.

When I was young I used to think that if you didn't take a movie out of the VCR as soon as the credits ended it would start playing backwards and I was terrified (and still am) of songs and movies playing backwards.

I didn't know about dubbing until I saw Titanic when I was like 11. I always thought the actors spoke so many languages!
