I know certain people won't appreciate a video of this magnitude *cough* Pillow *cough* 
But if you are interested, I've just completed a (pretty) complete compilation video of The Wilhelm Scream.
If you're not familiar with it, read the info on the bottom of the video before watching it.
Haha 
I don't like the Wilhelm scream because it's too recognizable and always puts me out of the movie, but awesome compilation, makes me want to rewatch a lot of these films. I love the one you spotted in Juno when they were watching 'Wizard of Gore', I never noticed that one. Also, I think there was another Wilhelm scream somewhere at the end of 'Tropic Thunder', but I'm not sure.
I think they used the kid's wilhelm at the end of Tropic Thunder in the credits ad nauseum, so I didn't bother.
And I wouldn't call it a film, Brickyman.
Lotta cowboy movies.
As funny as it is, I never noticed the Toy Story Scream until now, I guess Tim Allen and Wilhelm sound alike.
So that's what that scream is called. Looking at the compilitation video, I see it's in a lot of my favorite animated movies.
TROOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Well, can't wait for the 15 minutes "The Brickfilm Wilhelm Scream Compilation".
Very clever.
Interesting how half the films with "the scream" in them were either westerns, Indiana Jones or Star Wars.
I for some reason, don't count the scream as degrading the movie if the scream comes from a television or videogame in the movie.

I feel that a bunch of Just Kidden's work will be in that one.
I loved this compilation. There were some parts where I would have never noticed that sound effect.
I spotted another one in '16 Blocks' during the chase sequence with the bus. I don't now the exact time because it was playing on television (breaks etc.).
Yeah, a Brickfilm Collection would be really cool (although pretty much all my films would feature in it)
My favourite has to be the 'Spaceballs' clip. I like the sound effect as long as the movie isn't taking itself too seriously. It can be a great comedic gag (I want the DVD of 'Rango' just to see if the scream was in it - since that would have been the ultimate reference in a movie packed full of them) and, as proven by the clips I had to re-watch because I missed the scream, a subtle tribute. I didn't like it in 'Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' since it was way too obvious - and there were much better moments where the scream could have been used as a tribute to the Indy Trilogy.
I've always assumed 'The Wilhelm Scream' is a sound you make during a very acrobatic death, such as being blown back by an explosion, being pushed/thrown off something, or - for its rumoured original purpose - eaten by a crocodile. Its a very contorted and unnatural sound that would only be made if your body is being forced into an unnatural and fatal situation.
Overused? Perhaps; but I dont think I myself will ever become tired of it.
There was one in Due Date somewhere around 44:28
That was when the car went off the bridge (It's in the video)
Oops, I missed that one.
