Logan (2017)

Trivia: The film Charles and Laura are watching in the hotel is "Shane." Charles goes on to say he saw the film in the theater when he was Laura's age. However, Charles was born in 1932 and "Shane" came out in 1953, meaning he would have been 21. (I still listed this part as trivia since it could be argued Charles is forgetful in his old age). Laura's last lines come from the ending of "Shane."
