Not Actual Trivia, but I have noticed:
In Forrest Gump:
Gump tells LT. Dan that he is going to be a shrimp boat captain. LT. Dan laughs and tells Gump that he is going to be an astronaunt. The next time these two actors are in a movie togther, they are both astronaunts.

Speaking as someone who has Crohn's disease, I really appreciate the well-known bit about Harrison Ford's digestive issues being responsible for Indiana Jones simply shooting the Cairo swordsman in "Raiders of the Lost Ark."
I also enjoy knowing that in "Star Trek V: The FInal Frontier," the name Sha Ka Ree (an alias of God) is derived from the name Sean Connery. Connery had been approached to play Spock's half-brother Sybok, but was already committed to shooting "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" and "The Hunt for Red October." When this casting fell through, according to director William Shatner, Paramount lost its interest in backing the film and greatly reduced its budget.

Did you know they actually filmed part of the fight?

Lucas is no doubt waiting to release all Indy and SW deleted scenes on some super-deluxe release for both series at some point in the future to milk every last dime.
Another really cool trivia bit that I'm surprised more don't know about, though it's not really movie-related, is that Harrison Ford was the person working the lights at The Doors' famous Hollywood Rose Bowl concert in the Summer of 1968. Anyone who's seen that show, which as far as I know is still only available on VHS, should remember the part at the beginning of "The End" where Jim Morrison asks that the lights be dimmed for that one song and actually demands "Hey Mr. lightman! Turn the lights down!".

I don't know if this is cool or funny, but the theme music for People's Court originated from a chase scene at the end of the trash "classic" Malibu High. Another sound effect repeatedly used to ridiculous effect in that movie was later used to back some kind of TV logo, but I can't pinpoint it although it's very well-known (maybe SCTV?).

The Millenium Falcone appears in Revenge of the Sith. It also appears as part of a building in Bladerunner.
Rutger Hauer was also Anne Rice's choice of actor to play Lestat in Interview with the Vampire.
