Writers, directors, and main cast members are often credited for a movie's success of failure, but countless professionals leave their mark on every feature film. However, from time to time, those marks are a bit more literal. Certain directors, special effects gurus, and editors have been known to insert hidden messages into fan-favorite films. In honor of these sly moviemakers, we've compiled a list of our favorites.

We’re focusing on frames, text, and audio that is literally hidden in each movie – not simple easter eggs (like the Egyptian etching of R2-D2 and C-3PO in Raiders of the Lost Ark or the The Bride's "F*** You" sneaker soles in Kill Bill, Vol. 1).

Here are our favorite hidden messages in famous movies.
