Worthy of note are the [[WackySoundEffect wacky bubble-like noises]] the film's soundtrack makes as it melts.

* At the end of the 1968 Monkees film ''Film/{{Head}}'', a grand and beautiful version of the Columbia Pictures torch lady fades in. As the ending orchestral theme blasts on, the film begins to flutter increasingly on the logo, wriggles around and slides wildly until it stablizes again; to a complete jammed stop it seems as the film begins to melt away to the top-left corner upon a background of flames, and is only just a little black shrivel when the lens finally shuts. It is not known whether this was intentionally done to end the movie on a distinctive note, or this accidentally happened and became a ThrowItIn moment.

* ''Series/ViennaBlood'': InUniverse. The film that everyone is watching in 1908 Vienna in "Death Is a Welcome Guest" melts, because the projectionist got distracted by Ida Rego collapsing and dying in the middle of the theater, and stopped turning the crank. But it's also symbolic as Ida was the star of the movie and it's her face melting on the screen as she dies on the theater floor below.

Sometimes, films can catch you off guard. And one way to do that is to make it look like the film has melted from the projector. This doesn't just happen in the films, this can happen on television, cartoons, heck, even webtoons! Just don't expect to be caught off guard if it's in a video or cartoon on the internet.
