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 that
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 would it lead to 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 here nobody ever comes
out number nine
Doc Brown is suicidal Back to the Future
experiment this is a big one lady for my
life dr. M Adele Brown is depressed he's
never had a successful experiment hey 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 going to build a time machine
into a car why not do with 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 8
Sandy's dying dream Greece
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
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 hour of my life and now I have
to go away however there are a few holes
in this theory tell me about it instead
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 calling 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
[Music]
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
[Music]
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 the 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 luck
she tried awesome 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 here we have 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 guess 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 so I think yes
mm-hmm
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 sorry 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
databar could you so I'm gonna make this
short and sweet
Cameron even brushes Ferriss 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 my major take the car
this morning I could have stopped you it
is possible to stop mr. Ferris Bueller
you know number 3 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 Andi but do you forget you but
what if Jessie's owner was actually
Andy's mom oh you are such a big girl
do you think she's ready to drive the
car yet since Andy's mother's first name
is never given and Jesse 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 Jesse'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 number two the
code name the James Bond franchise do
you know a overcomplicates long 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 event well thanks it's very 50
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 put 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
me the lamp and then you shall have your
reward
[Music]
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 trade for us 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
