A kid that lived near me was convinced that actors in action films were all in fact just wax dummies. We later discovered that his mother had informed him that the melting German agents at the climax of Raiders Of The Lost Ark were wax dummies, and he had taken this to mean that all people in films were made of wax!

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.
my favourite super hero was the green lantern so I asked my parents for a ring. they took me shopping and I found one that was shaped like home plate and had my initial carved on it.
when i was about 8 or 9 i was allowed to stay home for a couple of hours without a babysitter. so I zoned out in front of the television and flipped through the stations using the big brown box we used to have as a remote (3 rows of 12 or so rectangular buttons that you pressed down to get a new channel)
I ended up partially watching the Exorcist by myself. i say partially because i would press any other button quickly when it started to get too intense. However, I did manage to see enough of the movie to scare me into sleepless nights for almost a week. I would pull the covers over my head and clench the fist with the ring so tight that I would imagine a green lantern-type force field would suuround my bed - as long as my fist remained clenched.

When I was little I had watched those old black and white "moving pictures" the ones that were made in the early part of the last century . People moved around in jerky movements on screen. I used to think that was how people really walked in those days.
When I was little... My parents used to threaten my brother and I about... Well, their choice of a babysitter for us. "If you don't stop misbehaving," they'd say, "We'll get Freddy Kreuger to come babysit you!" And we fell for it. Every time. It wasn't until later that I realized Freddy exsisted only in the movies...

I always wondered how James Bond could tell his real name to everyone and why the bad guys never recognized him from the movies. Maybe they just didnt know the movies...

When our city's theatres began showing X rated movies, I always knew there were
naked people in them but I had no idea what else ever went on in those movies.
I figured it was otherwise just a regular movie but no one bothered to wear clothes. I figured the worst that ever happened is that the men and women
pointed to each other's parts and giggled.
I used to believe that we (the human race) was a movie and God was showing it to everyone.

I used to believe that EVERYTHING we did was being filmed for someone somewhere to watch as a movie

I used to think that as movies "got older" they turned to black and white, like the color all faded out with time or something. Before this I thought that "the olden days" were really black and white. Like I asked my dad, "wasn't it boring to live in black & white?"

I was 5 when the Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night" was released, and my parents took us to see it at the drive-in. I remember thinking for a long time that it was a documentary. (I didn't know what a "documentary" was, but I thought the film was real, unscripted, and just a bunch of cameras following them around)

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)

For some reason I used to think that all films were 90 minutes long and I remember having an argument with my room mate at college when he tried to convince me otherwise. I must have been at least 18 at the time! Having now seen several films which are shorter/longer than 90 minutes I've realise the error of my ways...

When I was about 3, I saw the movie Fantasia. I was horrified by the big monster guy, and I thought that if I didn't close my eyes when I saw him he would jump out of the tv screen and feed me to the broom people, who I was also very scared of.

when I was younger I didn't understand why non-cartoon movies had a cast list in the end. I belived that everyone in the movie had that name they were called in it.

Once I wrote a letter to the actor Devon Sawa, who I was in love with at the time, and threw in into the fire thinking that if Mary Poppins got that letter from Jane and Michael Banks he would get it as well.

I used to believe that it was the Star Wars "Tri-ology" instead of the Stars Wars "trilogy".
