Chaz Fletcher - Lists at Ranker

Slicing and dicing,&nbsp;burning and scarring, tipping and stiffing&nbsp;- a restaurant is a movie waiting to happen, with a cast of characters toiling <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/prop-secrets-from-action-movies/tpetersccc?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">behind the scenes</a> in the kitchen trenches (cooks and chefs) and catering out front to picky, entitled customers (servers). The restaurant workers of Reddit, most from the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/KitchenConfidential/" target="_blank">r/KitchenConfidential</a> subreddit, along with swapping&nbsp;tales of food service joys and woes, have shared some of their favorite restaurant scenes from films.

Some of them describe the exquisite cinematic execution of a certain dish. Others say a certain scene captured what it&#39;s truly like to be in the food service industry. And others shared some of the really annoying things you do as a dining customer. Next time you eat out, give your regards to the kitchen, and a hefty tip to the server.

Watchworthy

The Cheers lyric claiming &quot;you want to go where everybody knows your name&quot; doesn&#39;t really work for celebrities, because they&#39;d probably much rather go to a bar where they can imbibe without anyone recognizing them. <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/bartenders-describe-their-worst-customer/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">Bartenders</a> who&#39;ve served famous actors and other celebrities generally don&#39;t pour and tell, but as anonymous tellers of bar tales on Reddit, they can share a little more freely about the famous faces who&#39;ve visited their establishment.

You might think they are full of sordid stories, but most shared positive memories of the celebrities they&#39;ve seen and served in their bars, pubs, and restaurants.&nbsp;

Employment

Extras, AKA background actors,&nbsp;might be key to a scene, but for the most part they are to be seen and not heard, and often spend a lot of time doing not much of anything&nbsp;for a little bit of pay. The perks, however, might make up for that: the chance to get a firsthand look at moviemaking behind the scenes, decent free food, and maybe even&nbsp;some celebrity interaction.

These extras&nbsp;who shared their on-set experiences via Reddit all had positive celebrity moments. Their name isn&#39;t in the credits, but they at least got to be a little bit starstruck. Some even got a movie poster (thanks, Joseph Gordon-Levitt!).&nbsp;&nbsp;

Around the World

Tropes

Enough with the Eiffel Tower views from every window.&nbsp;What Hollywood gets wrong about other countries is... a lot, according to people who live in those places. Foreign country stereotypes have many US viewers thinking British people are all posh and Canadians are all saints. Wrong and wrong.

People on Reddit who are not from the United States but like <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/things-movies-get-wrong-about-the-united-states/jason-f-collins" target="_blank">US movies</a> and TV shows willingly shared ways their country has been stereotyped, misinterpreted,&nbsp;or turned a strange color.

A gavel pounds, a&nbsp;bailiff escorts in a defiant or ashamed defendant, jury members stare&nbsp;earnestly, and sharply dressed&nbsp;lawyers pontificate with the eloquence of Roman orators. These scenes and scenes are&nbsp;the gist of the best law films or TV shows, and most people have their favorites, including lawyers themselves.

Attorneys and other legal professionals from the /r/law subreddits&nbsp;on Reddit have shared their favorite <a href="/list/best-courtroom-thriller-movies/ranker-film" target="_blank">courtroom thrillers</a>, comedies, and even a few movies that a jury wouldn&#39;t unanimously consider &quot;law film&quot; material. Lawyers on Reddit like talking about their <a href="/list/divorce-lawyers-nastiest-cases/bailey-benningfield" target="_blank">nastiest cases</a>, but they take a more upbeat timeout to share their top law movies. Verdict? That&#39;s not unanimous either - except maybe for a favorite film starring Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei.

Albums

For anyone that came of age in the 1990s, streaming music directly off the internet may still feel like science fiction. Back in the day, if you weren&#39;t <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/mail-order-cd-club-facts/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">buying your music via mail-order catalog</a>, you were probably picking it up from your local record store. Paying (or not paying) for a single mp3 simply wasn&#39;t an option, so you&#39;d sometimes buy a whole album just to get one song you heard on the radio.

For those millennials that haven&#39;t ditched physical media entirely, there&#39;s probably a few albums in your collection you&#39;re not super proud to own. For those that have, don&#39;t pretend these songs weren&#39;t your jam in middle school, high school, and yes, even college. Check out the list below and vote up the most embarrassing CDs you once prized.&nbsp;

Distinguishing Features

Total Nerd

The mustache, often fondly or disparagingly called a&nbsp;crumb catcher, lip toupee, or mouth brow, is a defining facial trademark for some famous men. These actors are so well known for their whiskered upper lips that seeing them&nbsp;without a mustache - often for a one-off role - can be disconcerting. They might even be unrecognizable. Tom Selleck will always be Magnum, and he will always have a mustache - until he doesn&#39;t.&nbsp;

Some actors can get by <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/actors-with-and-without-facial-hair/devon-ashby" target="_blank">with or without facial hair</a>. The celebs on this list, however, look strange - or stripped - without their signature &#39;staches.

Narcos

First airing on Netflix in 2015, Narcos depicts the rise and fall of Colombian kingpin Pablo Escobar. Seasons 1 and 2 function as a biographical study of Escobar, as well as the DEA agents tasked with taking him down. In Season 3, the focus shifts to the DEA&#39;s efforts to stop the rise of the Cali Cartel.

As with any series depicting real events, you may wonder how closely the Narcos cast resembles the real individuals they&#39;re playing. This list rounds up the most dastardly and heroic Narcos characters to answer that question. When it comes to the&nbsp;Narcos&nbsp;cast vs. real life, Netflix seems to have done an impressive job getting people who closely match their real-life counterparts. But which pairs are the most convincing?&nbsp;

Failed celebrity businesses are shockingly common. Despite the media painting them as bastions of perfection, celebrities are as likely to fail at a new business venture as any of us. While plenty are successful, such as George Foreman&#39;s line of grills, many celebrity businesses go nowhere fast.

Below are 15 of the biggest failed celebrity businesses ever, the kind whose failure will haunt the celebrity forever. At least until they count the money they made from being successful at their day job. Big bank accounts tend to dull the pain, though we can still laugh at their failures. The fun never ends!

Movie Trailers

Among the best movie trailers of all time you&#39;re very likely to hear the words &quot;in a world&quot; (or its cousins &quot;in a time&quot; and &quot;in a place&quot;) and flash back to the glory days of the movie trailer when you didn&#39;t see all the best parts of a movie in the 2 minutes preceding the flick you actually went to see. Though it&#39;s not as prevalent a theme in the top movie trailers of 2013, the mood conveyed by a deep voice and the words &quot;in a world...&quot; lets you know what kind of cinematic roller coaster you&#39;re potentially strapping into. This list of the best &quot;In a world...&quot; trailers will reintroduce you to a smattering of classic movie trailers and perhaps result in you talking with an exceptionally deep voice for the rest of the day.

Pioneered by Don LaFontaine, one of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/this-is-what-17-famous-voice-over-artists-look-like/robert-wabash">most famous voice over artists of all time</a>, the line &quot;in a world...&quot; became such a parody of itself in the late &#39;90s and early &#39;00s that it&#39;s actually making a comeback as a genuine line used in movie trailers. Even though it&#39;s been parodied from one end of the world to another (LaFontaine even parodied himself in a series of Geico commercials), the classic movie trailer line still holds weight and let&#39;s the audience play along with the goofiness (or seriousness) of the film trailer.

What are the best movies trailers that start with in a world? How many movie trailers have the line in a world? Don LaFontaine made the line infamous, and now you can see all the top trailers with the famous &quot;in a world line&quot;.

A list of organisms, including animals as well as plants, bacteria, etc., named for celebrities and other famous people (but excluding biologists, botanists and other scientists.)

Frequently when devising names for new species, scientists will fall back on famous people or historical figures who have inspired them over the years, or whose work in some way reflects an interest or relationship to that organism. (For example, one researcher named flies for Microsoft founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen, because of their contributions to Dipterology, the study of flies.)

This list is organized by the name of the celebrity and includes the full name of species commemorating or dedicated to them.

Celebrities Behaving Badly

Pop Culture

Lip-syncing is traditionally done when you&#39;re more famous than talented. These are videos of celebrities,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/celebrities-who-started-as-backup-singers/ranker-music?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword" target="_blank">famous singers</a>, and musical artists&nbsp;caught lip-syncing at the worst possible times. Technology is both a blessing and a curse for the music industry. On one hand, it has made it easier for people without money for studio time to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-youtube-musicians/ryanwitalison" target="_blank">create music out of their bedroom</a>. It&#39;s also led to auto-tuning and, even worse, lip-syncing.

This silent synchronization occurs when artists decide&nbsp;they cannot actually sing in front of the audience that&#39;s paid for them to do just that, so they have a backing track play during the performance and mouth along to it, just like you do in your car - only with dancing. (We&#39;re looking at you, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-milli-vanilli-songs/voteable" target="_blank">Milli Vanilli</a>.)

Now, there are some cases where lip-syncing could be acceptable. First, if you are making a music video&nbsp;since there is no way to perform live and have it turn out sounding good. We&#39;ll even let it slide for those singers who actually dance quite a bit&nbsp;and perform in their acts like Michael Jackson, as there is no way, during high energy numbers, to get enough breath to push out the song.

What singers have been caught lip-syncing? Of course, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-is-ashlee-simpson-up-to/donn-saylor" target="_blank">Ashlee Simpson</a> is here. The issue with this method comes in when singers use the backing track just so they can take it easy. What&#39;s even worse is when they do it poorly. The list below is the worst cases of lip-syncing caught on tape and put on the web.

Some actors are so good at being bad guys that it&#39;s hard to believe they could be anything other than hateful, heinous, and vile between takes or off the set. But no matter how depraved or scary they appear on screen, many actors known for their villain roles (and some who have <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/villains-by-actors-who-always-play-heroes/tracey-graham" target="_blank">played heroes</a> as well)&nbsp;are just the opposite in real life.&nbsp;When they&#39;re not attempting to menace/terrorize/annihilate the hero or all of civilization&nbsp;on a film or TV screen, they are as kind and gentle as can be.

Co-workers and fans of&nbsp;these&nbsp;actors share behind-the-scenes positive stories that suggest that the&nbsp;scary, bad-guy demeanor&nbsp;is just a product of great acting, writing, directing, makeup artistry, and a chilling theme song.
