That one short clip scene in Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope, when the Rebel fleet is beginning to attack the Death Star, and Porkins, before he becomes "Roast Porkins", looks like he's regretting that Chipotle' chimichanga with extra guac.
Seriously, it's there.

A rare glimpse of Edwardian Halifax on a cold January day in 1902. Cows and horse drawn carts share the roads with electric trams, children fascinated by the camera, gentlemen in hats and ladies in long skirts. One of Britain’s earliest surviving films, now over 120 years old.
