In the beginning of Trainspotting (1996), the football club that Renton, Begbie, Sick Boy, Spud, and Tommy play against were played by members of the Calton Athletic Recovery Group of Glasgow, former heroin addicts-turned-counselors who were also primary consultants for the film.
Visionary director Quentin Tarantino added this scene to From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) totally because it led to valuable character development and added cinematic value to the film, and not just because he wanted Salma Hayek's foot in his mouth.
Picked up a Roland JV-2080 from 1996. It really captures the sounds of the 90's: it was used in films, commercials and music of the era. It's my first rack mount synth and I'm really happy with it!

Criterion Film Club Week 40 Discussion: Hard Eight (1996)
In the 1996 film adaptation of Roald Dahl’s Matilda, Matilda mistakenly refers to Charles Dickens as “Darls Chickens”. This is a nod to another Dahl classic, The BFG, in which the BFG refers to the author as such.
Sleepers (1996) when they sre sleeping, idk haven't watched the film
Flag of Mars from the 1996 sci-fi comedy film Mars Attacks!
After the success of Jumanji (1995), a prequel film centered around Alan’s (Robin Williams) time spent in the game began production. The film, Happy Gilmore (1996), was released the following year.
"The Tradition of the Games" - film composer Basil Poledouris' hidden gem for the 1996 Olympic Games opening ceremony. One of the greatest pieces you've (probably) never heard.

It's crazy that Paul McCartney quietly made a short film about the Dead in 1996.
He had some rolls of film and some stills that his wife Linda had taken in 1967, and he spent two years assembling them into a live action film replete with captions and sound effects. Virtually no copy of it exists online, but excerpts from it feature some of their most iconic group photos from the era (like everyone crowded around the stoop of 710).
The interesting thing about it is that it probably gave Paul a chance to bask in the romanticism and exuberance of the era without being bogged down by personal baggage. He was never in their circles and so could perceive the footage from the impersonal vantage point of a fan. Also, it's worth noting that Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band was a partial homage to the convoluted band names that had proliferated in the Haight scene.
It just makes me strangely happy to know that he found a happy place in the Grateful Dead's scene and contributed iconography to it.
How does the 1996 TV-Movie 'Gotti' stack up against the other well known mafia films?
Is it accurate or just pure entertainment?
[TOMT][MOVIE][2000s] I can only remember a few scenes from this film, very surreal. Likely produced from a range of about 1996-2009
The few scenes in question:
A man falls into hell, a barren wasteland, he lands on a giant push pin missing the spike.
The devil talks to this man, the devil wears a bowler hat, smokes a cigar and has a dark black moustache. The man enters a bar shaped like the devils head, this bar later explodes.
Another man (potentially the same one) enters the back of a store (caravan?) and is grabbed by a sentient hand with a face and pulled up into space where he is surrounded by giant jellyfish.
There is another scene where presumably during a freakshow, a fat woman is seen lying on a couch watching TV next to a humongous pile of apples (eating one herself), there's also a mermaid?
I wish I had more details but that's all I can remember so far, I'll make edits if I remember anything else.
The lack of intelligent life shown in The Martian (2015) is explained by its oft-forgotten prequel film Mars Attacks! (1996) where all of its inhabitants had been eradicated by country music
Trainspotting (1996) foreshadows Mark's HIV test results through the film
The film makes a point to show Mark only use clean needles. Notably, after baby Dawn dies we can see him casually handwave away a used needle that's being handed to him in favour of a new one.
This explains how, despite his surprise at "avoiding the full blown epidemic" while maintaining a "junk habit", we understand that it wasn't just good luck that he didn't contract the disease while Tommy did.
Mila Kunis in “Santa With Muscles” (1996), her film debut.
In Independence Day (1996), the character Dr. Brackish Okun (played by Brent Spiner) is named after, and his appearance is modeled after, Jeffrey A. Okun, digital effects supervisor with whom director Roland Emmerich and producer Dean Devlin worked on their previous film, Stargate.
TIL about "Dear Diary," a 1996 made-for-TV pilot starring Bebe Neuwirth. ABC passed on the show, and it wasn't broadcast. However, it was slightly edited and shown in one L.A. theatre on one weekend to qualify for an Oscar. It won an Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film.

What do you think of the film Different For Girls(1996)?
I remember it being quite well done when I saw it at least 15 years or so ago. But I just checked it via IMDB and the person who plays the trans woman, as far as I can tell, could be labeled a cis guy.
Watched Mulholland Falls from 1996. Film Noir, great movie with excellent cast.
It’s 1996, your in the peek of your 20’s, you and your goth gf/bf lay down on the couch and turn on your favorite ghibli film while slowly falling asleep In each other’s arms

History, dance, and high fashion in ‘Amrapali’. Vyjayanthimala showed off her dancing talent in scores of films but few showcased her skills – or her entire self – better than Lekh Tandon’s Amrapali (1996).

Is there a subredit dedicated to the Matilda franchise: the book, 1996 film, and musical?
Before Deadpool 2 (2018), Cable had a feature film back in 1996 called The Cable Guy. In original movie he didn't come from the future, but it was a story of a guy who predicted the future possibilities of the Information Superhighway.
The film "Two If By Sea" (1996) was the first time a film's plot, script and title were determined by functionally illiterate people.
The film Twister (1996) was shot in Brazil for financial reasons. However the difference in the Coriolis force between hemispheres meant that the tornados spun clockwise rather than anti-clockwise, necessitating a reversal of the film print and backwards lettering used in various scenes.
