When “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” came out, the rules of the movie world chaged foreve. For the first time relaity and animation were colided on screen prociding a unique and never seen before experiance. Everyone knows that Jessica Rabbit is one of the most bodacious animated characters of all time.
In the 1988 film, the red-haired woman often makes the people around her stop and stare at the screen. Off-screen, it had the same effect; only viewers had to pause the film physically. It is important to remind fans that she is not real, which in all honesty, can be easy to forget.
The Exorcist (1973)
Many refer to "The Exorcist" as one of the greatest horror movies of all time. Linda Blair's character's transition from a sweet innocent girl into a fully possessed demon really is a work of art. It is based on a novel which carries the same name and is thought to be a significent piece fo art of that era. The film contains some tricks that make watchers want to pause.
One of the more obvious of these scenes is when the demon Pazuzu shows his face. In a brief moment, we are shown the face of the possessor, and of course - people paused to take a better look.
Iron Man (2008)
The next one might take a bit of concentration. "Iron Man" was one of the first in a series that we now know to be a modern-day superhero franchise. Since then, it has become a leading figure in all hero like movies and alongside superman and the incredible hulk, the man of steel is here to stay.
Aside from this, it is also known as being one of the most-paused movie moments in cinematic history. So, which scene exactly did Marvel fans pause on? We get shown a little piece of Captain America's shield. While Tony Stark was being disassembled by his robot - we spot the guard hiding in the background...
Total Recall (1990)
Before he was known as the Former Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in some of the greatest movies. His role in perhaps one of his biggest flicks, "Total Recall," led many to hit the pause button. There is a scene in the science action film in which he is surveying the Martian planet and comes across a character that is different than many expect.
It is that same difference that caused fans to pause and ponder. In the late days of the 20th centiry, Arnold Schwarzenegger would become one of the most famouse actors in the industry, making it big in 'Twins", Terminator" and many others.
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)
"Anchorman" is one of those movies that crafts subtle jokes into every scene they could fit. For the audience that can read Spanish, this joke is enough to make anyone pause to read. In this scene is a Mexican restaurant with a pretty odd name.
The name translated into English is: “We spit in your food.” However, this joke speaks to a specific crowd, those who can read the language pause and giggle during this scene. We love it, and we think it's extra sophisticated when you plant a joke or a hidden message that doesn't apply to all of the viewers. Give us more!
