Top 10 Memorable Hiding Places in Movies


oh are you doing hiding back there it
wasn’t my fault sir
you can run but you can’t hide laughs –
what’s that mean – these dances be
enshrined by the understand Galatians
stay off well in these cases you can
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
hiding places in movies
[Music]
for this list we’re taking a look at
places and things
characters cleverly utilized to conceal
themselves from impending doom let’s go
no I think we should stay why I’m in the
dumpster already number 10 a wicker
basket Raiders of the Lost Ark
[Music]
on the run from Nazis and their goons
for hire
Marion seeks refuge in one of Cairo’s
many wicker baskets she almost gives the
baddies the slip but a traitorous monkey
sells her out Indiana Jones chases the
screaming basket through a series of
alleys when he loses Marion in a crowd
though she becomes harder to pinpoint
than Where’s Waldo
in what could have been a standard chase
this scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark
goes the extra mile by having Indy
locate a needle in a haystack
help me hunger game and maybe arms
[Applause]
number nine Rock camouflage The Hunger
Games hey how did you do that oh yeah I
used to decorate the cakes down at the
bakery in order to survive the Hunger
Games tributes need to employ every
skill in their repertoire as a baker son
you wouldn’t think Peeta Mellark would
have anything to bring to the table
except maybe dessert he can throw a
hundred pound sack of flour right over
his head I’ve seen it okay well I’m not
gonna kill anybody with a sack of flour
no but you might have a better chance of
winning if somebody comes after you with
a chance of winning
using his frosting skills though Peeta
camouflages himself with mud and dirt to
blend in with the rocks by a stream
although Peeta is sometimes observed as
a bumbling nuisance hiding places like
this demonstrate that he can be quite
resourceful and crafty he’s still
probably better off leaving the manual
labour – Katniss though
number eight fast food garbage Toy Story
now the entrance is heavily guarded we
need a way to get inside
great idea woody I like your thinking
Toy Story creates a world of its own
where playthings spring to life right
under our noses to keep their world
secret toys must get creative while
maneuvering around public places when
confronted by a couple of Cylon guards
at Pizza Planet Woody and Buzz disguised
themselves with a soda cup and a burger
container
since nobody pays much attention to the
litter on the floor they’re able to
sneak through the automatic doors
without a hitch but does anybody else
find it weird that buzzes lid opens when
he talks what we’re going
number seven behind a mirror 28 days
later most scream queens have a tendency
to pick the dumbest hiding places
imaginable like under the bed or in a
closet we got to give Hannah from 28
days later props for thinking on her
feet when chased by the infected with
Clifton just around the corner
Hannah latches on to the back of a
mirror when Clifton enters the zombie
gazes into the mirror and sees what he’s
become as a wild Clifton remains unaware
that Hannah is on the other side
I think we should get off the road
number six under a tree the Lord of the
Rings the Fellowship of the Ring
get off the road this scene from the
Fellowship of the Ring captures the
dread of a grim fairy tale as monsters
pursue our heroes through the woods with
the ring wraiths hot on their tail
the hobbits retreat under a nearby tree
great tension builds as a black rider
sniffs just inches above an insect
submerge tempting Frodo to give into the
ring good thing Sam is there to keep him
in check the to come even closer to
capture in the following film but this
time around they have a trusty elven
cloak
number five smuggling compartments Star
Wars Episode four a new hope there’s no
one on board sir according to the law
the crew abandoned ship right after cake
on the Millennium Falcon has everything
an intergalactic smuggler could possibly
need in a spacecraft light speed for
outrunning the authorities gun turrets
for blowing up Tie Fighters I got him
and most important of all smuggling
compartments for illegal goods these
compartments come in especially handy in
Star Wars as the Empire apprehends the
ship hidden under the floor the would-be
rebels managed to evade the incompetent
stormtroopers boy it’s lucky you had
these girls using for smuggling I never
thought I’d be smuggling myself in this
is ridiculous since the scanner crew is
on the way though Luke Han and the
others quickly realized they need to
stop hiding and start blasting tk-421
wire to a post
number four hedge maze The Shining well
it’s a 13 feet high and the hitch isn’t
bad as old as the hotel itself it’s a
lot of fun but I wouldn’t want to go in
there unless I had an hour to spare to
find my way out when you’re a little kid
nothing scarier than realizing your own
parent is out to get you
when his ax-wielding father goes over
the Cuckoo’s Nest young Danny attempts
to lose him in the snowy hedge maze
[Music]
cold and frightened Danny could easily
run into certain death around any corner
fortunately the quick-thinking lad uses
his environment to its full advantage
and throws daddy dearest off track with
a false trail of footprints
Jack and his sanity remained forever
lost in the icy labyrinth
number three Holocaust hiding places
Schindler’s List
[Music]
in Schindler’s List Steven Spielberg
strived to authentically recreate the
horrors of the Holocaust down to the
very last detail the audience is
overcome with uncertainty fear and grief
as Jewish families try to escape the
Nazis by hiding under floorboards in
pianos and even in toilets as careful
and quiet as they are almost nothing
gets past the Nazi soldiers who will gun
innocents down upon discovery while
discussing classical music
[Music]
much like in Roman Polanski’s The
Pianist these scenes are truly shocking
in just how real they feel Yuja was the
first number two kitchen cabinet
Jurassic Park
just when it looks like the kids are
done dodging dinosaurs for the day
they’re paid an unexpected visit by a
couple of velociraptors in this
brilliantly staged scene from Jurassic
Park Tim and Lex attempt to crawl out of
the kitchen undetected
this is easier said than done as the
Raptors are highly intelligent hunters
using a ladle to draw them out a cabinet
as a hiding place and her own reflection
Lexx tricks the beasts and the audience
that Raptor might not be a clever girl
but Lex definitely is before we call
olly-olly-oxen-free to our top pick here
are a few honorable mentions
hi hi
asian 13 you are in a tree
[Music]
[Music]
number one stuffed animals ET the
extra-terrestrial in ET Elliot does
everything he can to hide his friend
from the adults
it appears that Eliot’s mom is about to
have a close encounter with ET upon
inspecting her child’s closet
luckily the adorable alien fits in
perfectly with Raggedy Andy and various
stuffed animals in an instant the
audience goes from leaning over in
suspense to laughing hysterically
subsequently all the kids in the
audience feel the need to add an ET doll
to their toy collection its
merchandising hidden within a hiding
place monocle
