It was hard enough to pick a movie in the days of staring down your DVD collection on the shelf. Nowadays, clicking through all the possible apps to track down a flick is just plain exhausting. After two hours of hunting, of course we fall asleep 10 minutes into the movie.

We wanted to eliminate all that hunting for you today and display every movie fact you’d ever want to know right here!

The Princess Bride

They came up with the Pit of Despair in The Princess Bride to save money. The book had the Zoo of Death in that scene, but that would have been too expensive, so they needed to figure out a new idea. CRACKED.COM

Can’t Hardly Wait

Ethan Embry was SO stoned when he filmed Can't Hardly Wait. Не was the world's biggest stoner at the time, he says, and the director even asked him if he was altered. Which is pretty much all he remembers from the shoot. CRACKED.COM

The Departed

JACK NICHOLSON'S DILDO-WAVING DEPARTED VILLAIN IS BASED on A REAL moBSTeR. Nicholson played Frank Costello, a character directly based on James Whitey Bulger, right down to the fact that both of them (spoiler alert) turned out to be FBI informants. Bolger's former cronies even acted as advisors to the film. The dildo scene was all Nicholson. CRACKED.COM

Wonder Woman

Diana's belly in Wonder Woman is sometimes CGI. Gal Gadot was pregnant when they were doing the reshoots, so they cut open the front of her costume and CGI'd her pregnant belly out. CRACKED.COM

Pirates of the Caribbean

In Pirates of the Caribbean, Mackenzie Crook had to wear two contact lenses in the same eye. It's uncomfortable, but not painful, he says. NOW YOU KNOW CRACKED.COM

Napoleon Dynamite

BEHINO-THE-SCENES SFACTS That was a helluva throw from UNCLE RICO CRACKED.COM Не actually nailed bike-riding Napoleon in the face with Kip's steak. The impact gave Heder two black eyes that you can see in multiple scenes. The steak fling is especially impressive considering actor Jon Gries is a vegan.

Superman/Man of Steel

An actor from 1978's Superman shows up in Man of Steel. Aaron Smolinski, who played Clark Kent as a baby in Superman, was a communications officer in Man of Steel. CRACKED.COM

John Wick

John Wick The original title was Scorn. It was changed because Keanu Reeves kept referring to the script as John Wick whenever he brought it up. CRACKED.COM

The First Quantum Leap in Danger

Historical Firsts in The World of Stunts The first quantum 1920s leap in danger Buster Keaton's hilarious and life-threatening stunts raised the bar. In 1928's Steamboat Bill, Jr. a two- ton house falls as he stands precisely in its open window, and in 1924's Sherlock, Jr. a gush of water breaks his neck! Let's not forget 1926's The General.

Superhero Movies

Superhero Movies Then vs. Now S Respect for the original Back in the time, even fine movies like Richard Donner's Superman took strange liberties. By now, creators respect the comics much more (just don't ask Tim Burton what he thinks of comic books). CRACKED.COM

The Royal Tenenbaums

The Royal Tenenbaums Michael Caine and Gene Wilder were considered for Royal Tenenbaum. Wes Anderson wanted Gene Hackman to play Royal from the very start, but Hackman at first rejected the part.
