Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice 2016
The thing that has stuck with me most from this film is that Henry Cavill's chest hair peeks out the top of the Superman costume.
I chatted with someone who saw this 3 times at IMAX. Why? Was it for the chest hair? How tall is the chest hair on an IMAX screen? One storey tall? Two? These thoughts have haunted me for the last couple of years.

The Clock 2010
"There's no clock!"
I was surprised by how often the time wasn't shown on screen and by how much filler there was (some of which worked better than others) but the child next to me sounded utterly betrayed.
Anyway, with that I have completed all 24 hours. Much like with cigarettes after Thank You For Smoking, I'll forever be hyper aware of clocks in films, and annoyed by any use of Big Ben as an establishing shot.

A Boy Called Sailboat 2018
During the Q&A I went to, Bernard Curry made a comment about music bringing people together being a core of the film. That really felt applicable to this session, which had a live performance by the Grigoryan brothers.
It was just as heartwarming as the film seeing a nearly full concert hall, some who had seen it before (they got us to raise hands, there weren't many), and a few who revealed during the question period that they had just come to hear Slava and Leonard play not realising there was a film, enjoy this movie that went under the radar on release.
