I used to think that The Wizard of Oz was made by Mickey Rooney (I had the 50th anniversary video and it includes footage of him presenting Judy Garland with a juvenile Oscar for Wizard of Oz; for some reason I assumed that he was the director giving an award to the actress-granted, I was about 7 years old).

I used to think that all of the films from WW1 and 2, etc. were reenactments of the actual thing!

I believed that actors who died in a movie--got paid a lot of money----went out and had a blast till the money ran out----then went and got killed in the movie---don't know where I got that idea

I used to think that when I was watching a movie, it was happening live. For example, I use to think they always shut down the city of New York everytime I wanted to watch Home Alone

Diana

I used to believe that the film "Never ending story" was really without an end. So, when I listened to my friends at school talking about it, I passed my afternoons zapping all the channels in order to find this endless film

Roberta

I thought Han Solo was Hans Olo. Who ever heard of someone named "Han" anyway?

Jabberwocky

At the end of the movie Gremlins, which scared me horribly as a child, it says "Always make sure to turn on the light, before you enter a room" in a creepy way. Well, I always would flick on the light with as little of me in the room as possible and thoroughly examine before entering. To this day I do that, in the same, peeking, scared way.

I used to belive that all in tv was kind of real adventures, I was a big fan of Pierce Brosnan that days and I knew that I'll watch him in some movie saturday night, when accidently an evening before I saw him travelling around the globe in 80 days (good movie!)I was really worried that he won't be able to get back on time for my saturday's movie :)

When I saw a Back to the Future II scene of Marty McFly talking to Doc Brown on the Walkie-Talkie, I thought Marty said "Duck, duck come in!"

There's this Disney movie called "The Great Mouse Detective", about how the mouse who lives in Sherlock Holmes's house is also a detective.

In the very beginning, when Fidget was about to kidnap Olivia's father, there's a shot of the door handle moving up and down, and Olivia yells "What's that?"

I used to think that she said "The satch!" and that a satch was another word for a door knob.

Last December (I was 12, people) I watched the movie A Wrinkle in Time in school. After watching that I was convinced that the 5th dimension the kids went to in A Wrinkle in Time was real, and I was bored and I wanted to find the Tesseract.

That only lasted a few hours, and then I put myself down for believing such a childish thing at 12 years old. And then I told someone (I think it was one of my friends) and she said, "Hey, it's possible." She most likely said that to make me stop feeling so down about believing it.

When i was little i watched resident evil and got paranoid. One thing i remeber is that anything that looks like a gate would cut you to pieces so i would cry and cry !

S,D

I thought for the longest time that the movie "Letters From Iwo Jima" was called "Letters From A Two Jima". I didn't get why it was "a two", but when I finally figured out I was misreading it it made a lot more sense.

In those beautiful innocent childhood days, i used to believe that people in movies die for real and how come they become alive in the next movie :)

I used to think only super attractive people got to be actors. So I always got really confused when I was watching a movie and not everyone looked like supermodels.

I was watching a movie with a friend.. Parent Trap (The newer one) and there were twins in the movie played by the same actress. One twin had nail polish, and the other didn't. When the twins were interacting, the scene kept switching back and forth between the two.
My friend informed me that "You wouldn't believe how many times they removed that girls nail polish and repainted it when they switch back and forth."
I'm not sure if she was trying to trick me or if she really believed this, but she did have a hard time understanding when i tried to explain that they taped all the shots of one twin, and all of the other then edited them together.

I used to think lady and the tramp was an old movie with actors and marilyn monroe. My parents had me go home and watch it, and then i realized it was a cartoon and i actually liked it!
