For 30 seconds, CLIFHANGER convinces you this is a real mountain.

The camera pullback doesn’t expose the trick. It proves how good the trick is.

An enormous matte painting by Michelle Moen made the illusion possible. A beautiful practical VFX shot.

Over 40 years later, these Jean-Paul Goude portraits of Grace Jones still look like they’re from the future.

Dear @FA, can we invite Mexico for a Wembley friendly, please? Outside Azteca, England fans swapping shirts with Mexicans, England fans and Mexicans drinking and singing together. Mexico been wonderful hosts. Be great to see them and their fans at Wembley. Not been since 2010.

STANLEY KUBRICK waxing lyrical about the "visual poetry" of Michelob beer TV ads, calling them some of the most brilliant examples of film.

“Unfortunately he’d gone feral and we couldn’t re-introduce him into the home. He ended up living with my friend’s parents in Preston.” This is the commentary moment of the World Cup and it will not be beaten. Ever.

This is real footage from 120 years ago.

None of the people in it knew that the city around them had four days left...

What you are watching is a cable car gliding down Market Street in San Francisco, filmed on the 14th of April, 1906.

The camera was mounted on the front of the car, so you see the city exactly as it was: the crowds, the horse-drawn carriages, the early automobiles weaving through traffic, the men in hats, the great buildings rising on either side. An ordinary spring afternoon in a thriving American city.

Four days later, on the morning of the 18th of April, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake struck. The shaking lasted under a minute, but it ignited fires that burned through the city for days...

By the time it was over, more than 3,000 people were dead and roughly 80 percent of San Francisco had been destroyed. Almost every building you see in this footage was gone.

And the film itself nearly went with it.

The negative was placed on a train bound for New York on the 17th of April, the day before the earthquake. Had it left a single day later, it would have burned in the fire along with the studio that made it.

This entire moving record of a lost city survives because of one day...

Before the Madchester explosion would take them into the mainstream, Happy Mondays were already developing the sound that set them apart from their peers. Performing "Performance" on The Other Side of Midnight with Tony Wilson in 1988, the band showcased an early glimpse of the groove driven style and attitude that would soon make them one of Manchester's most influential acts.

Trying as hard as I can to bring an “Angelica Huston photographed by Annie Leibovitz” vibe to my late 30s
