One standout from this month’s list is Steven Spielberg’s Jaws, an awe-inspiring thriller that changed the film industry forever when it was released 50 years ago.
Jaws was only the second feature film for the 28-year-old Steven Spielberg – and it would become a cultural smash.
Gene Hackman, an acting titan of 1970s and ‘80s Hollywood with more than 80 screen credits to his name, has died at 95.
In 1999, decades after Walt Disneys’s death and nine years of production, Disney’s dream of a new Fantasia was realised with the release of Fantasia 2000.
Even though I’ve seen these films many times, and listened to their soundtracks countless times too, I am still willing to pay to revisit them with a live orchestra.
