A couple of details I noticed (and which I can't recall anyone else ever mentioning) rewatching movies on the big screen:

Matrix - There's a scene where Neo sweeps fire from a pivot-mounted chaingun all over a room, chopping up the bad guys, and leaving Morpheus (who is sitting in the middle of the room, tied to a chair) completely unharmed. This is unintentionally hilarious. (It would have been another matter had we seen Morpheus using his Vulcan Meditation Power to make the bullets curve around him, or something). Correction: it would be hilarious if the same scene hadn't appeared in the Zucker Bros' Top Secret, 15 years prior. (It was played for laughs, there.)

Alien - When Ripley is reading the instructions to the ship's self-destuct system, we see that it includes a little caution label with one of those standard this-device-can-mangle-your-fingers icons. This is very witty.
