I discovered that portal trapdoors
secret staircases and ancient tombs
I even he can’t get me in here these
films have it all just make sure you
pull the right lever well after this I
shall think nothing of full of falling
down stairs
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
secret passages in movies she thinks
she’s found a magical land in the
upstairs wall true for this list we’re
broadening the definition of secret
passages to include those that act as
portals well who else knew about the
secret passage we found it
Colonel Mustard and me number 10 the
rabbit hole Alice in Wonderland
you know Dino we really shouldn’t be
doing this in Disney’s classic
interpretation of Lewis Carroll’s novel
Alice chases a white rabbit down a
hidden entrance in the ground into a
magical world where nothing is what it
seems after all we haven’t been invited
and curiosity all from Easter trouble
all this was hardly the first or last
film imagining of the trip down the
rabbit hole
this one still remains by far the most
iconic largely due to its impressive
visuals the rabbit-hole which acted as a
portal between the boring everyday world
and wonderland has gone on to inspire
countless fantasy films and maybe a few
drug trips goodness what did I should
fall right through the center number
nine the mines of Moria
the Lord of the Rings the Fellowship of
the Ring Gandalf
we could pass through the mines of Moria
when the Fellowship runs into trouble
getting across the Misty Mountains in
the first Lord of the Rings film they
decide to take a shortcut through the
Dwarven mines of Moria I would not take
the road to water unless I have no other
choice
however the entry to the mines can only
be found in the clear moonlight and the
group needs to solve a riddle to obtain
the password reached the jaws of duty
Lord of Moria speak friend and enter
to make matters worse the entrance is
guarded by the watcher in the water
monster a squid like monster that nearly
kills them
only once they’re inside do they realize
that they should never have come in the
first place how are your foods number
eight hidden doors clue wow look can’t
believe it I wonder where this one goes
let’s find out one of the most memorable
things about the board game Clue is that
it contains secret passages that allow
players to travel between specific rooms
looks like a secret passage you see
where it leads what the hell
I’ll go first I’ve had a good life the
movie version incorporated a number of
elements from the game including the
hidden corridors connecting rooms and
wall exits there’s a secret passageway
from the conservatory in fact the
corridors in the film actually link up
the same rooms as the ones in the board
game what’s this I’m not the doll the
secret door in the kitchen leads to the
fireplace in the lounge look while the
conservatory leads to a portrait in the
study not if they use this secret
passage and the letter A ran back down
the secret passage to the study the
perfect getaway channels for a
mysterious murderer number 7 up and a
damn machine Casper don’t you know a
shortcut you gotta hit the up and Adam
designed by Casper’s father gets its
name from the fact that it was built as
a transport to his secret lab while also
providing some help with the morning
wake-up call I’m live hold on
why after pulling a secret cord on a
lamp the machine takes a vintage
armchair along a track
which descends through a secret
compartment below a staircase into the
basement on its way it provides a
toothbrushing shower shape and
everything else needed to start the day
off right
all of which we witnessed through cat
who sent down the passage by her
Friendly Ghost
what was that the up and Adam machine my
dad was a great adventurer but had a
little trouble getting going in the
morning
didn’t he ever hear of caffeine number
six passage to the vault The Addams
Family
today we’re going straight to the vault
the villains of this fantasy comedy
spend a majority of the movie trying to
break into the Adams family vault which
is filled with gold and riches now what
about the gold they got this wall
somewhere I’m not sure of course getting
there isn’t easy although it looks like
a lot of fun if you know what you’re
doing the vaults entrance is filled with
all the secret passageway cliches we
know and love including a secret book
acting as a trigger for a revolving
bookcase greed a trapdoor and a slide
and it’s all capped off by a boat ride
across a river to the right
stain to the left and then around 205
number 5 the Batcave Batman Begins yeah
you know cave diving over the years
there have been a number of ways Bruce
Wayne has accessed his underground lair
and of special note is the entrance
found in the first of Tim Burton’s
Batman movies
but our favorite is this one from
Christopher Nolan’s initial reboot in
this version
Bruce converts tunnels beneath his
mansion which were originally used by
the Underground Railroad into his
crime-fighting headquarters boy you’re
right my grandfather was involved in the
Underground Railroad secretly
transporting freed slaves to the north
and I suspect these covers this
iteration has an elevator leading to the
Batcave hidden behind a bookshelf
revealed by playing specific notes on a
piano
of course no Batcave is complete without
an entrance for the Batmobile and this
one is hidden beautifully behind a
waterfall
number four tunnel into Malkovich’s mind
being john malkovich it’s a portal and
it takes you inside john malkovich you
see the world through John Malkovich’s
eyes and then after about 15 minutes
your spit out into a ditch on the side
of the New Jersey Turnpike sounds great
in this bizarre fantasy comedy
struggling puppeteer Craig Schwartz
discovers a tunnel behind a tiny door
that leads directly into the mind of
John Malkovich
there’s no such things as a hole or a
portal into somebody’s brain yes there
is your brain or soul or whatever I was
inside John Malkovich looking out the
portal is located in the Merton Flemish
Building in New York City and he enters
it by going down a muddy tunnel that
allows for a 15-minute ride through the
eyes of the famous actor before being
thrown out onto the New Jersey Turnpike
things really get strange when Malkovich
confronts Schwarz and demands to go
through the portal to enter his own mind
it’s my head
Schwarz it’s my head I will see you in
court number three the Wardrobe The
Chronicles of Narnia The Lion the Witch
and the Wardrobe she’s doing here Wow I
was hiding in the wardrobe in the spare
room while playing a game of
hide-and-seek four siblings living in
Britain at the height of World War two
accidentally discover a doorway to the
fantasy realm of Narnia much to the
kid’s dismay the mysterious gateway is
only open to certain people at certain
times and routinely turns back into a
regular closet nah it’s all in water
like I told you while they later
revisited Narnia through other means in
the sequels
nothing could quite recapture the magic
we felt when we saw them walk into that
wardrobe and out into the forest in the
first of the Chronicles of Narnia series
what are you all doing in the wardrobe
you wouldn’t believe us if we told you
sir
tribe number two the Temple of Doom
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
right here Indiana Jones has come across
a lot of secret passages but none quite
like this Temple of Doom Indian company
make their way through the booby-trapped
filled temple giving us some of the
franchise’s most iconic moments
including the spike chamber and a cult
that could tear your heart out literally
inde finally finds a secret exit after a
tense minecart chase
unfortunately it’s on the side of a
cliff over crocodile infested water
yikes before we unveil our top pick here
are a few honorable mentions para my pit
of despair don’t even think don’t even
think about trying to escape hand me
that candle will you
find my son it’s only a coin SmartPost
video
Mount Rushmore to erase the Maps
landmarks in order to protect the city
of gold
Russia was a cover number one the Room
of Requirement the Harry Potter
franchise he’s done it never found the
Room of Requirement the wizarding world
is full of secret passageways so those
imbued with magic can travel without
detection by muggles I’ve never used the
visitors entrance before it should be
fun and everything from platform 9 and
3/4
and the Chamber of Secrets said this is
it Roma I think this is Dan Drew’s to
the Chamber of Secrets to the multiple
pathways leading in and out of Hogwarts
concealed behind portraits Haas word
Capet for Curtis statues we’d recommend
this one the one-eyed which passageway
it leads you straight to honeydukes
cellar and the whomping willow is hidden
hurry
you do realize what tree this is that’s
not good
Ron Ron but perhaps the most valuable is
the Room of Requirement it’s also known
as the come and go room the room
requirement only appears when a person
has real need of it and is always
equipped for the Seekers needs located
on Hogwarts 7th floor this room only
appears to those who urge n’t Lee need
it and adapts to fit that person’s needs
so you really needed to toy charming
Ronald but yes but is the general idea
it’s brilliant it’s like Hogwarts wants
us to fight back whether it’s acting as
a passage directly to Hogsmeade this is
the only way in or out now or whether
it’s hidden vanishing cabinet is
allowing Death Eaters entry to the
school the Room of Requirement is an
important passage
for the good guys and the bad the
vanishing cabinet in the Room of
Requirement I’ve been mending let me
guess he has a sister between borgin and
Burkes a former passage in que deus do
