18 Now-You-Know Movie Facts (Because Mom Told Us To Write Them)

Look, we all know the score. We didn’t want to write yet another list of movie facts, but here we are. Doing it again. Another week of writing an intro and creating more entries into an ever growing list of random factoids about film. Why do we do it? Because Mom said so.

What can we say? We love our mom. And Mom wants us to write about movie facts. Not only write about movie facts, but make shareable images about them so she can send them to her friends. They’re more digestible that way, too. It’s how Mom likes them.

We can’t tell her “no.” We mean, she’s not going to be around forever. Plus, she helped pay our student loans for the last decade. That plus general “raised you from a baby” stuff means that we owe her big time. So here are some movie facts to make her proud.
