I wish a had a classier example to contribute, but I watched Earth Girls Are Easy the other night, and noticed for the first time during the overhead shot of Genna Davis lying by the pool, you can see through her bathing suit, and she has one of the biggest bushes I've ever seen going on under there.

It was the 80s. Women weren't into shaving or waxing back then. Look at some Playboys from back then and you'll see full bushes and the occasional hairy ass crack.

Re: Movie moments you just noticed
After years of watching The Godfather films, last year, for the first time I noticed that at the end of II, Michael is sitting in the same chair that Fredo sat in during their heated talk in the boathouse, and he even mimics Fredo's slumping body language from that prior scene as Fredo is killed.
In Back to the Future, it took many viewings for me to notice that one of the clocks in the opening scene has a figure that looks a lot like Doc hanging from a second-hand, which he of course ends up doing on the Clock Tower at the end. Also, it took me a while to notice that the newscast that turns on in that same opening talks about the missing plutonium that the Libyans stole to give to Doc, but government authorities state that no plutonium was actually missing and that it was simply a "clerical error," or words to that effect.

I just did a google image search for Geena Davis Earth Girls are Eazy and I definitely need to see that flick again. I don’t remember her being in a transparent swim suit for a great deal of the movie, but she evidently was.

I just finished watching Reservoir Dogs again and after seeing the movie at least a dozen times I never realized the implication when Mr. Blonde shows up in the warehouse after the robbery. I always noticed he was drinking from a fast food cup but never thought much more beyond that. After watching it tonight I realized that immediately following a bloodbath shootout, when all hell was breaking loose, and with a cop locked in his trunk, Mr. Blonde actually stopped to go through a fast food drive thru. 
That just makes his psychopath character all the more crazy.

On a similar note, in Pulp Fiction, after the clean up is done, The Wolf preps for the drop off and says that he “drives real fucking fast” - when he’s about to transport a dead body in the trunk.

Murder By Death
I've seen it a dozen times, but not until last night when I had it on in the background did I catch the train pun in the host's name "Lionel Twain" and the address of 22 Twain house sounding like "choochoo train".

I watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off with the kids a few weeks ago and one stood out to me. When Ferris is in the cab and looks over and sees his dad reading the paper in the car next to him, the article on the front page is about Ferris, "Community Rallies Around Sick Youth." That's nothing new. But when was this paper printed? All the events take place in a single day. Did the Chicago-Sun Times do Evening Editions in 1986? Mid-Morning edition?
Even if they did, this all still happens before school lets out, making it kind of a weird gag.

I never realized how hot Mary Poppins or Maria Von Trapp were until I watched them as an adult

Here's on I noticed a while ago, though it's completely unintentional on the part of the filmmakers:
In John Carpenter's The Thing, there are two characters named Mac and Windows.

Speaking of Carpenter and The Thing, there is a moment in Halloween that strangely foreshadows Carpenter working on the later film, as the dog is killed while the original Thing from Another World is shown on the television.

I have gone back to "Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead" a few times in the last 6 months and I only just noticed that the guy repeating everything said when Mr. Shhhhh goes to the nightclub is none other than Don Cheadle.

Watched Hitchcock's Psycho tonight (I've probably seen it ten or twelve times over the years) and just noticed that both times Arbogast pulls his car up to the Bate's Motel, he slides across the seat and exits from the passenger side door instead of getting out on the driver's side door like a normal person. I assume the reason for this is because the camera was placed too close to the car so Martin Balsam didn't have room to get out on the proper side?

Well, it was the style at the time.
