ever find yourself watching a movie and
wondering what the filmmakers are really
trying to say welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top 10
mind-blowing fan theories in film for
this list we’re looking at the most
outrageous unproven theories or popular
ideas that fans have come up with about
their favorite movies just give me one
more chance to prove it mr. Grady that’s
all I ask
number 10 Willy Wonka is a killer Willy
Wonka and the Chocolate Factory down the
rushing blender go hunting this theory
suggests that the celebrated candy maker
snapped years ago and is actually a
serial killer I don’t understand it the
children are disappearing like rabbits
well we still have each other
those golden tickets seal the kids doom
as they gain access to a factory Wonka
has staged to pick off his victims one
by one in various ways she was a bad egg
where’s she go where all the other bad
eggs go down the garbage chute almost a
carving chute was it leading to the
furnace how else do you explain the fact
that there are only a specific number of
seats on its ferry or that his Oompa
Loompas are always ready with a death
song you know exactly who’s to blame
and if you want to go more extreme there
are even some who think Wonka’s using
his childish targets as the source
material for his chocolate bars you see
nobody ever goes in nobody how that
comes out number nine
Doc Brown is suicidal back to the future
welcome to my latest experiment this is
a big one the lady for my life dr. M
Adele Brown is depressed he’s never had
a successful experiment he makes a
half-assed attempt to get himself killed
by double-crossing terrorists but
finally the scientist decides to end it
once and for all after one final effort
so one night in 1985 he meets his friend
Marty McFly and reveals his newest
project a time machine built from a
DeLorean the way I see it if you’re
gonna build a time machine into a car
why not do it some style Doc Brown’s
steps in front of the car and waits for
the end only it doesn’t hit him
it has disappeared into the future
doc has finally accomplished something
and this restores his will to live then
come the Libyans number eight Sandy’s
dying dream Greece
while singing summer nights Danny boasts
about sandy some fans believe that this
line is evidence that sandy did drown
and grease is just a dream she had
before meeting her death I’ve just had
the best summer of my life and I have to
go away however there are a few holes in
this theory tell me about it – why would
Sandy’s final dream include a shop class
a beauty school dropout and a teenage
pregnancy on the other hand the end of
the movie sees sandy seemingly being
flown into the clouds via a red
convertible
is this a metaphor for heaven you decide
Danny
is this the end of course not
it’s home in the beginning number seven
Kubrick faked the moon landing The
Shining the faking of the moon landing
is a conspiracy theory in and of itself
but ever since this adaptation of the
Stephen King novel came out there have
been many who believe the historical
event has a Hollywood connection okay I
understand these theorists believe
Stanley Kubrick directed the moon
landing and boldly showed it off in the
shining that is quite a story the proof
first little Danny wears a knitted shirt
of an Apollo 11 spaceship then there’s
Kubrick’s decision to change the room
from 2:17 the number in the book to 237
which some fans have linked to the
237,000 miles between the earth and the
moon
the Devils in the details here’s Johnny
number six roses imaginary friend
Titanic I felt like I was standing at a
great precipice with no one to pull me
back no one who cared or even notice was
rose so depressed at the thought of
marrying Cal that she literally dreamed
up her perfect man otherwise known as
Jack Dawson
true they did meet just as roses about
to hurl herself off the ship you’re
crazy that’s what everybody says but
with all due respect miss I’m not the
one hanging off the back of a ship here
and after their encounter her confidence
is suddenly loads higher still if Jack
was only a figment of roses imagination
wouldn’t that dinner scene be a million
times more awkward a real man makes his
own money right Dawson
hmm and you find that sort of rootless
existence appealing do you well yes
ma’am I do
and if there was no jack then who was
behind that new drawing of rose take a
look at this drawing that we found just
today a piece of paper that’s been
underwater for eighty-four years
number five what’s in the briefcase pulp
fiction we have Vincent we happy
here we happy the million dollar
question of Pulp Fiction lands at our
halfway point I thought so the contents
of the briefcase keep on changing the
most popular desk is that Marsellus
Wallace’s soul is in there a big day
after all legend has it that when you
make a deal with the devil he removes
your soul from the back of your head
right where Wallace has that band-aid
not to mention the fact that the
briefcases combination is 666 yep the
mark of the beast say what I think is
mm-hm
it’s beautiful goddamn it what is
Bueller Bueller
number 4 Ferris who Ferris Bueller’s Day
Off this is ridiculous ok I’ll go I’ll
go I’ll go I’ll go I’ll go with I’ll go
how can three kids spend a high-profile
day on the town on a school day and not
get caught
Oh Sloan there re along now
I guess that’s my dad either Ferris is
just that good or he’s the product of
Cameron’s daydreams Cameron this is my
ninth sick day if I get caught I won’t
graduate I’m not doing this for me
I’m doing it for you as a quiet and
depressed high schooler it’s not that
far-fetched to think that Cameron would
create an alter ego who’s cool fearless
and can do the things he’d never do in
real life
the ball could you so I’m gonna make
this short and sweet
Cameron even brushes ferrous off after
realizing he doesn’t need him anymore to
take a stand near the film’s end I’ll
take it no I’ll take it no no you don’t
want this much heat I want it if I
didn’t want it I wouldn’t let you take
the car out this morning I made you take
the car this morning I could have
stopped you it is possible to stop mr.
Ferris Bueller you know number three
Jessie’s owner Toy Story 2 big deal
Let Go
I’m sure precious Andi is dying to play
with a one-armed cowboy doll why Jessie
you know he wouldn’t last an hour on the
streets in his condition
all of our hearts broke when we learned
Jessie’s backstory about being a once
love doll that was outgrown and given
away by her owner Emily you never forget
kids like Emily or Andy but they forget
you but what if Jessie’s owner was
actually Andy’s mom oh you are such a
big girl Mandy you think she’s ready to
drive the car yet since Andy’s mother’s
first name is never given and Jessie and
woody are from a playset that existed
when she was a girl Andy’s mom could
very well be Emily well if the boot fits
just take a look at Andy’s cowboy hat
which looks suspiciously like Jessie’s
and not his favorite toy woody hey it
makes more sense than the parallels fans
are drawing between the Toy Story
franchise and The Walking Dead but maybe
that’s just us
happy number two
the code name the James Bond franchise
do you know the overcomplicates plot who
doesn’t appreciate the occasional twists
Mr Bond James Bond
since 1962 several different actors have
stepped into the role of Bond without a
single recast joke being made good this
gave birth to the theory that James Bond
is actually a code name and not the
super spies real identity what’s so
funny about I think it’s very pretty
name nitpickers have pointed out that he
did keep the Bond name when he went
rogue but how else would you explain a
man who hasn’t aged in 52 years but
ahead of you be enjoying death
double-oh-seven reporting for duty it’s
not like he’s a Time Lord hmm actually I
don’t do for a stop leave the things you
don’t need now quick before we uncover
our top pick let’s take a look at some
honorable mentions superheroes in New
York
behave yourself r2 for going to get us
into trouble
number one the Pixar theory the Pixar
universe oh that’s gonna be like a
billion transfers to get back to my
house in a nutshell the Pixar theory is
the idea that all of the studio’s films
are interconnected and that the
characters essentially live within the
same universe
starting with Toy Story and ending with
monsters University each movie is one
part of a single bigger story I don’t
understand
due to the Easter eggs cameos and
references Pixar puts in all their
movies fans have gone so far as to build
a complex timeline incorporating each
production and showing the origins of
magic in the 14th and 15th centuries how
animals and objects can talk well
white master is good at art what the
world would be like 2,000 years into the
future and much more by accident or by
design the Pixar theory is a brilliant
one that you should check out meeting
adjourned
