The Aviator (2004)

Corrected entry: When Howard is watching 'Hell's Angels' footage in his private screening room, he holds his hands up in front of the projection and the image of several planes from the footage can be seen on his hands. The corresponding long shot shows his hands, illuminated by the projection, yet there are no corresponding shadows of his hands on the screen.

Correction: The tight shot has his hands in the projector's beam as two planes fly right-to-left across his right palm. In the long shot, his hands are actually lit by a hidden light to Howard's right (note the light source direction on his left hand in the long shot). No film objects are seen on his hands because his hands aren't in the projectors beam at this point.so no shadows either.
