“I’ve adored film my whole life,” he told My Modern Met. “It was always there, a place that I could escape to when life was getting a little tough. I enjoyed exploring the screen through my own head and couldn’t wait to, quite literally, step through the films that had helped me through my years of growing up.”
You can see some of his works below and more on his Instagram page. Right now, he has 123,000 people following him and over 170 posts of famous movie scenes shared.

]]>First up is one of our favorite Christmas movies, and not only for Glenn Close’s iconic performance as the twisted Cruella de Vil. The live-action film, produced by Walt Disney, featured Pongo, Perdita, and their 99 puppies all played by real-life dalmatians. Who could say no to that?!
The comedy-drama film directed by Chris Noonan, took seven years of development, before being filmed in New South Wales, Australia. It features a talking pig who wishes to work as a sheepdog. Fun fact: actor James Cromwell became an ethical vegan as a result of starring as Farmer Hoggett.
The family comedy film, starring Charles Grodin and Bonnie Hunt, centers around a St. Bernard dog who can actually play the piano. Take that, keyboard cat!
Southpark might have parodied it, but for young audiences, Free Willy was quite the inspiration. Starring Jason James Richter, it centered around a foster boy who befriended a captive orca. Sadly, the aquatic star of the film – an orca named Keiko – failed to adapt to the wild when he was actually released.
Produced by Pixar and released by Walt Disney, the computer-animated comedy film made quite the splash when it came out. In France alone, where the film is set, it broke the record for the biggest debut for an animated film. But we hardly believe it made people more accepting to the idea of rats hanging out in their kitchen.

]]>American fantasy comedy film, Ghostbusters, achieved cult status, mostly thanks to Bill Murray’s unforgettable performance. But the film score continued to live on long after the series wrapped up. It was composed by Elmer Bernstein, who won an Oscar for his score to Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967) and was nominated for 14 Oscars in total. So who you gonna call? Elmer Bernstein.
Released on July 3, 1985 Back to the Future grossed over $381 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing film of 1985. Starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, the movie was an instant classic, spending 11 weeks at the number one spot. But the soundtrack was just as epic. Heres a fun fact: Alan Silvestri actually began recording the score two weeks before the film’s first preview.
It doesn’t get more epic than the Star Wars trilogy. Written and directed by George Lucas, it included an iconic soundtrack. Perhaps the most recognizable theme, present throughout the franchise, is the “Imperial March,” also known as Darth Vader’s theme. Composed by John Williams for The Empire Strikes Back, it’s considered one of the best known symphonic movie themes.
Sergio Leoni’s, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, is considered an all-time favorite when it comes to Westerns. Its catchy theme song was written by Italian composer Ennio Morricone. The acclaimed composer, orchestrator, and conductor has composed over 500 scores for cinema and television, as well as over 100 classical works.
Children’s all-time favorite nanny, Mary Poppins, could do no wrong. The musical film directed by Robert Stevenson and produced by Walt Disney featured numerable hits written and composed by the Sherman Brothers. One of its most iconic songs was “A Spoonful of Sugar.”
