I always like to watch the background action. On occasion I've spotted movie stars working as extras or doing bit parts before they were famous.
I always look at signs, too. Once, watching Sterling Hayden come out of a pawn shop in the The Killing, I noticed a sign in the background on a strip joint advertising Lenny Bruce as the emcee. And this was when Lenny was a nobody! His fame was still a few years away. It just so happened Kubrick shot the scene on location on a real LA (or was it SF?) street in front of a REAL club! I thought that was cool.
