The Addams Family movie was filmed on the same sound stage as much of the TV series was. Nobody working on the project realized this at the time.

reminds me of this one:

the nasty local pub at the start of AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON is also Tim & Daisy's front room in the sitcom Spaced. (if you haven't watched Spaced that probably won't be a very interesting coincidence - and it might not be even if you have!)

SHaron Tate's last film was the goofy comedy 12 + 1 (1969).
At the end of the movie, one of the charecters looks disturbingly like Charles Manson

Check the video at 6:20...very creepy.

I always thought that Alone In The Dark was a bad movie. Coincidentally, I was right.  :twirl: :wink:

From the Wizard of Oz IMDB page:

QuoteWhen the wardrobe department was looking for a coat for Frank Morgan (Professor Marvel / The Wizard), they decided they wanted one that looked like it had once been elegant but had since "gone to seed". They visited a second-hand store and purchased an entire rack of coats, from which Morgan, the head of the wardrobe department, and director Victor Fleming chose one they felt gave off the perfect appearance of "shabby gentility". One day, while he was on set in the coat, Morgan idly turned out one of the pockets and discovered a label indicating that the coat had been made for L. Frank Baum. Mary Mayer, a unit publicist for the film, contacted the tailor and Baum's widow, who both verified that the coat had at one time been owned by the author of the original "Wizard of Oz" books. After the filming was completed, the coat was presented to Mrs. Baum.

This is by far my favorite movie-related "coincidence." It's awesome.

In the film GOODBYE COLUMBUS, JACK KLUGMAN plays ALI McGRAW's father.  RICHARD BENJAMIN plays a character named "Neil Klugman" (think NEIL SIMON).  When RICHARD BENJAMIN begins dating McGRAW, in one scene they go to a movie... on the marquee we see the film they go to see is THE ODD COUPLE!   Of course, JACK KLUGMAN later starred in the TV series based on that movie screenplay written by and based on Neil Simon's play...
