May the fourth be with you

[🎸 Rock History 🎸 @historyrock_]

This song is timeless. 40 years later and they sound exactly the same as on the album.

[Dr King Winter, PhD @I_Am_Winter]

The most memorable moments in history. A thread.

1. When Michael Jackson took off his glasses at the Grammys.

[All The Right Movies @ATRightMovies]

Christopher Walken on the set of THE DEER HUNTER (1978).

[Rock'n Roll of All @rocknrollofall]

The Unplugged performance that changed MTV forever.

Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora hit the 1989 VMAs with nothing but 2 guitars and blew the crowd away.

Livin’ on a Prayer and Wanted Dead or Alive like you’ve never heard.

Raw talent and performance.

[Today In History @historigins]

One of the images of Pope Francis that will always be remembered is this one:

Crossing St. Peter's Square alone, empty due to the pandemic, in the rain and silence. No words were needed to capture the moment.

[Cinema Tweets @CinemaTweets1]

I still remember hearing people in the theater cry during this moment between Val Kilmer & Tom Cruise in Top Gun: Maverick. I’m so incredibly thankful Cruise insisted on this scene because this moment is forever. RIP, Iceman.

On this day in 1976, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest won the 'Big Five' Academy Awards, Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and Best Screenplay (Original or Adapted). Only three movies have achieved this in the history of the Oscars. It's a flawless movie.

[Bob Dylan @bobdylan]

Happy birthday Tracy. Hope to see you again sometime.

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

In Rocky (1976), the crowd's genuine reactions during the marketplace run were real, as they didn't know why a man was running back and forth with a van following him. The guy who tosses the orange was completely genuine.

[Statman Dave @StatmanDave]

Scott McTominay’s game by numbers vs. Fiorentina:

100% pass accuracy
100% tackles won
5 attempted take-ons
4 successful take-ons
3 attempted long passes
3 successful long passes
2 chances created

A monster midfield performance. 🔝

[All The Right Movies @ATRightMovies]

This transition in THE GODFATHER, where Coppola match dissolves between Vito's moustache and a tree in Sicily.

[Super 70s Sports @Super70sSports]

Jimmy Connors won 109 tournaments including 8 grand slams but this miraculous fucking masterpiece of a point is the defining moment of his entire career. Enjoy.

[The Sting @TheStingisBack]

Witness is 40 years old today.
For the first half of the 80s, Harrison Ford was strictly a sci-fi, swashbuckling Movie Star, Witness was a break from that and garnered him his one and only Oscar nomination. This was Kelly McGillis' second big movie, her third was Top Gun.

[The Sting @TheStingisBack]

Big (1988)
During the walking piano scene Robert Loggia and Tom Hanks noticed doubles dressed like them on stand by in case they couldn't complete the dance moves correctly. It became Tom and Robert's goal to do the entire number without the aid of the doubles. They succeeded.

[🎸 Rock History 🎸 @historyrock_]

The Animals' lead singer Eric Burdon performing "The House of The Rising Sun" last year.

The fact that he can still sing 60 years later at his 83 is incredible.

What a legend.

[The Sting @TheStingisBack]

Happy 95th Birthday, Gene Hackman
The French Connection (1971)
Gene won an Oscar for playing 'Popeye' Doyle, an incredible performance filled with raw intensity. There's almost nothing likeable about Doyle, but we root for him anyway. That's the power of Hackman.

[The Sting @TheStingisBack]

Happy 95th Birthday, Gene Hackman
Mississippi Burning (1988)
Don't ever mess with him, and certainly don't straddle a chair in front of him, especially on his birthday.
Hackman was a badass.

[The Sting @TheStingisBack]

Happy 95th Birthday, Gene Hackman
Young Frankenstein (1974)
Hackman begged Gene Wilder, his tennis partner at the time, for a role in this Mel Brooks classic because he feared becoming typecast. He played the blind man for free and ad-libbed 'I was gonna make espresso.'

[Peter Avellino @PeterAPeel]

At least we have this photo of David Lynch and Billy Wilder.
