The sort of thing I'm talking about here are scenes in a movie or TV show that you saw a long time ago, maybe as a kid. That scene sticks in your memory, but you have now idea what it's from (the sort of thing you might ask about at r/TOMT). Then, one day, years or even decades later, you're watching something and it's that scene!
I had that experience recently, with something I saw when I was really little.
The scene:
A man sits alone in the passenger seat of a car. He looks over at a few other men at the front of a building across a street or parking lot.
He looks at numbers flashing on the car's digital clock display. Panic shows on his face and he runs from the car seconds before it explodes.
It really stuck in my memory since I saw it in the mid to late 90s. It was the image by brain defaulted to when people talked about exploding cars in movies. But I had no idea what it was from.
Then, I just happened to come across that very scene last night, watching Season 3, Episode 2 of The X-Files.
Anyone else have moments like this?
