I missed yesterday's anniversary of the launch of MTV. I absolutely loved MTV Most Wanted with Ray Cokes. Broadcast between 1992 and 1995, Most Wanted was a pioneering TV show which inspired me to go into TV. I thought it'd all be like this... sadly, it wasn't.

Parenthood is 36 years old today. It's a movie that changes as you grow as a person. I was a teenager when I first saw it, now I'm a dad of two it's a whole different story. I still prefer the rollercoaster, though. The merry-go-round was never for me.

This visually stunning shot from All the President's Men (1976) took 3 weeks to set up. A camera was rigged to a remote-controlled cable with a radio-controlled focus system, which was also attached to an electric winch at the top of the Library of Congress dome. Since the camera

Bob Hoskins was one of the greatest. In the final scene of The Long Good Friday (1980), he silently replays the film's events in his head, ticking off signs of his ultimate downfall one by one. It's an acting masterclass. We'll never see another like Bob.

A Fish Called Wanda (1988) The comedic brilliance of the 'Apology scene' is enhanced by John Cleese's lengthy, specific, legalistic and formal apology, which is in stark contrast to his life-threatening situation. Kevin Kline's casual "OK", is the chef's kiss.

Cocktail (1988) The movie that had people flocking to F.G.I Fridays to watch flair bartenders while getting covered in vodka. This Tom Cruise booze flipping fable deserves more love, especially for Bryan Brown and Elisabeth Shue. It's a perfectly captured cultural moment.

Legendary director Billy Wilder told Billy Bob Thornton he was too ugly to be an actor and should write a movie for himself to exploit his ugly appearance. Thornton wrote, directed and starred in Sling Blade which won a Best Screenplay Oscar. He then married Angelina Jolie.

It's been 10 years since Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog announced the end of their relationship, and I still haven't recovered. 😢

In Collateral, Vincent (Tom Cruise) switches bags with Airport Man (Jason Statham). Louis Leterrier, co-director of The Transporter, confirmed Statham played Frank Martin in the scene, making Collateral the most successful film in the Transporter franchise.

For Contact (1997), footage of Bill Clinton discussing a Martian meteorite was used to make it seem like he was talking about aliens. The White House filed a complaint stating it was "inappropriate" to misrepresent POTUS. No legal action was taken, and the footage remains.
