The Sting

My Love Letter to THE MOVIES 'Every time I go to a movie, it's magic, no matter what the movie's about.' - Steven Spielberg Watch, Like, Repost and Follow...

I keep hoping this Dr Upton trend is because Kate Upton has finally got her doctorate. Sadly, it's not the case.

Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Eric Idle messing around in a snap taken by Carrie Fisher (1979). Idle was away filming Life of Brian, so Fisher rented his house while she was making The Empire Strikes Back. How much awesome do you need in one photo?

Alice Cooper's legendary cameo in Wayne's World is like having a simple conversation on X.

Louise Fletcher was born on this day in 1934 Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is one of the greatest performances of all time, and it's all done on a micro-level. A glance here, her barely contained smile of triumph there. We all have a Nurse Ratched in our lives

Elizabeth Taylor suffered from distichiasis. This disorder gave her a double row of eyelashes. The condition benefited Taylor by giving her naturally striking eyes, even without make-up. Distichiasis helped Elizabeth become one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood.

Apocalypse Now (1979) - Ride of the Valkyries Often considered one of the most chaotic film shoots in history, a six weeks shoot ballooned to 16 months and another 3 years to edit. What was expected to be a disaster became one of the greatest movies ever made.

Tilt-shift photography, a technique that makes people and landscapes appear like miniature toys, should've taken off in a major way. I love this sequence from The Social Network. Just ignore the cannibal.

During the 1960s, Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, and Robert Duvall shared an apartment in New York City. The trio clocked up 19 Oscar nominations and 5 wins. Gotta be one of the most talented property shares of all time.

Of all the Bond movies, Skyfall has my favourite use of the James Bond Theme. It's the musical equivalent of, 'You're so screwed now.'

Cameron Diaz proving that a good first impression lasts forever.

Mrs Sting would be VERY happy if this were true. 🤣😂

Robin Williams was born on this day in 1951. Good Morning, Vietnam (1987) Robin gained his first Oscar nod for his incredible performance. I used to own the CD which was timed to wake me. For almost a year, Robin was my alarm clock. I know every word of this.

Robin Williams was born on this day in 1951. It's been 10 years, and this one still hurts.

Give me an example of the best anyone has ever looked in a movie

At the end of The Quiet Man, Maureen O'Hara whispers something to John Wayne to elicit a genuine, surprised reaction. O'Hara never revealed what she whispered, and the line remains a mystery to this day. What do you think she said?

The Quiet man is 73 years old today. The John Wayne/Victor McLaglen fight is an all-timer. This is a 'Dad Movie', if ever there was.

Brando got paid $4M for two weeks work on Superman and he still can't remember his kids' name 🤣😂

I received this message last week. We spoke for an hour, about how he was looking forward to seeing his father again and the movies they enjoyed together. He told me to 'keep enthusing people. It's important', I intend to do just that. We touch lives here. Remember that.

Clearly, you've never seen my account before... 😉 This is also a great way to start the week.

She didn't know she was messing with The Stath.
