I was in highschool and my whole family went to see the movie for some reason. Mom, dad, sister, brother, a rare thing for us all to go at the same time. My sister and I love Tom Hanks so we went to see the movie specifically because it was the new Tom Hanks flick. So I'm sitting in the theater next to my dad, and he's been clearly enjoying the movie.

It's the very last scene, when he and Leonardo DiCaprio are at the table discussing grifting techniques. They're saying their final lines of dialog, and my dad nudges me with his elbow and leans in. "Hey! That's TOM HANKS!!" he says all excited. The credits rolled a few moments after revealing to him that, yes, he was correct, this dude:

was indeed Tom Hanks. My sister and I often joke that my dad is one of the people who would have been fooled by Clark Kent's glasses as a result.

That's hilarious. I would have laughed my ass off. Nice little story OP. It's one of my favorite Spielberg/DiCaprio/Hanks movie. Not as a group but individually.

I went to see The Dark Knight with some people opening night. It gets to the part where Harvey is burned up in the hospital bed and turns to shout at Joker or whoever. My friend Leah audibly gasps and yells, "TWO FACE!!" The entire theater erupts in laughter.

Ha, I bet that would have been a great surprise if you had no idea who Two Face was before he got scarred.

When DiCaprio gives his name as Barry Allen, did you nudge your dad and say "That's the Flash"?

When I saw Ford V Ferrari this guy was talking to his girl through most of the film. The best part was when the obvious scene from the trailer comes up where Bale punches Damon, he tells his girl loudly: "I bet he's gonna punch him!" and then laughed hysterically when it happened. "I told you! He punched him!", he told all of us loudly. He sure did tell us.

I think the best "IS THAT HIM?!" moment everyone unanimously had when the credits rolled was when that the greasy sleazy fat bastard in Tropic Thunder is revealed to be none other than Tom Cruise.

Never seen the crowd go nuts when the realization kicked in. We lost our collective self.
