It's Oscar Weekend again, so we figured we'd have a little fun today and look at some attractions that are themed to movies. These go from 3D movies, motion simulators, coasters, shows and dark rides. So while the attractions themselves are nowhere comparable we are going to have fun looking at them anyway. =)

Note, some of the rides below (Green Lantern, Superman, Spiderman etc) may be based on the comic book version of the character, but we've included them anyway.
