]]>Duke places a still shot from the movie in the spot where it was filmed, revealing the background of what we saw on the screen.
• On this day in 2009, Captain Sully landed US Airways Flight 1549 safely on the Hudson River in New York City. All of the 155 passengers aboard survived. The plane was struck by a flock of geese which resulted in a loss of engine power. Without a close enough airport to fly to, Chesley Sullenberger and Jeffrey Skiles successfully glided the plane onto the Hudson. This event has since become known as “the most successful ditching in aviation history”. The photo I’m holding is a still from the 2016 film, ‘Sully’. It’s inspired by the real events as they did this in a studio. Tom Hanks does a superb job of portraying the Captain and showing how incredible Sully was to do what he did. I feel like we always need some positivity amongst some of the doom & gloom of today and this event still stands as a miracle! 155 more people are alive because of those pilots. • I researched where the plane landed in reality and it was supposedly very close to the Weehawken Port Imperial station, right on the edge of Manhattan island. I ventured to the closest point on Manhattan that linked with that which turned out to be the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. A lovely gentlemen told me where the longest pier was and so, a few seconds down, was where I leaned over and snapped this inspired filmic moment in history. • • #captainsully #miracleonthehudson #newyork #manhattan #miracle #tomhanks #clinteastwood #life #film #photography“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.
• It’s been 4 years since Alan Rickman passed away. I still can’t believe such a great man is no longer with us. His filmography is flooded with creative characters, classic stories, and iconic accents from all over the world, all of which have touched every single one of us to our core. From the dastardly rich and wanted in Die Hard, the lovesick lover in love Actually, and the misunderstood professor in Harry Potter. Severus Snape is undoubtedly the character he is most known for and it’s clear why. As Harry Potter said to his son, ‘he was the bravest man I have ever known.’ As they all did for Dumbledore, we hold up our magic wands in honour of his memory forever and always 
• I took this photo when I was last at the @wbtourlondon. I wanted to capture something from this penultimate scene in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2. The revelation that Snape wasn’t all that bad… this took place in Dumbledore’s office after Snape is murdered by lord Voldemort; this is the set they used. Harry looks upon the memories of Snape and uncovers the truth. Always an amazing experience here at Warner Bros, thanks to the wonderful team for their help. • • #alanrickman #ripalanrickman #harrypotter #diehard #loveactually #robinhood #severussnape #life #love #hope #wbstudiotour #london #film #photography
• The entirety of this scene, much like all of the other Avengers shots here in New York City, was shot on green screens and sound stages. Luckily it all still looked picture perfect and mirrored the film really well. • • #theavengers #avengers #hulk #thor #markruffalo #chrishemsworth #grandcentralstation #newyork #superheroes #film #photography
• Here is a young David Bowie in Manchester Square, London at the age of 18 in 1965. On this day 4 years ago, we lost an icon form the entertainment world. David Bowie transcended the scope of lyrical creation and the landscape of musical art from the 60s onwards. Even today his music rings true to many goings-on around the world as well as being put to good use in lots of films. A couple specifics that spring to mind are ‘The Martian’ with Matt Damon and ‘The Secret Life of Walter Mitty’ with Ben Stiller. His tracks ‘Starman’ and ‘Space Oddity’ being key tracks in these adventurous films as well as also just being wondrous tunes to keep us moving forward in these days of uncertainty and, at times, craziness. Thanks to Bowie, we truly can be heroes even just for one day. • It was bittersweet to visit this location due to Bowie’s passing in 2016. Little bits had changed but after all this time it was strikingly quite similar. So much of today’s cinema and music has been influenced by this man, making his mark on screen as well as on stage. I fondly remember his performance as Nikola Tesla in Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Prestige’. Oh, what a life. • • #davidbowie #music #film #legacy #artist #starman #spaceoddity #heroes #history #1960s #lgbt #photography #history #london
• Stephen Hawking would have turned 78 today. His life and incredible mind is immortalised in the science of tomorrow as well as in an impeccably incredible performance from Eddie Redmayne in ‘The Theory of Everything’. I absolutely adore Redmayne as an actor and this role only solidified him as truly remarkable at what he does – an Oscar-worthy of the performance! It only seemed fitting to celebrate this bittersweet day by visiting the filmed re-creation of Jane & Stephens’ wedding; the most memorable and lovable day of one’s life. • This is the Holy Trinity C of E Church located in Penn, Buckinghamshire. I visited a couple of years ago as well but wanted to come again to snap some updated photos! It’s a lovely walk to get to this location and it was oh so peaceful while standing there to capture the special moments. I always find biographical pieces of filmmaking that little bit more hard-hitting… film is usually fictional but this was real 
I went to travel on the same escalator that Paddington explored during his first visit to London! This is such an adorable film and a perfect little cosy adventure for Christmas time. Paddington Bear just looks so cuddly and brings so much warmth & joy along with him wherever he goes. Here he is taking his first steps in St John’s Wood tube station 
• This scene is from the first Paddington film (the second is on tonight at 7.20!) and is a really funny scene where Paddington Bear travels on the London Underground for the first time – he makes sure to follow the ‘Dogs must be carried’ rule! The interiors were shot at St John’s Wood tube station. It took some patience and a bit of going round and round in circles to get the shot! • • #paddington #paddingtonbear #christmas #london #christmasday #boxingday #food #marmalade #film #photography
• Swipe left to see them all grown up! Love Actually (2003) vs the Love Actually Red Nose Day reunion (2017). Continuing with the festive season, here’s another scene from the beloved rom-com where Liam Neeson and Thomas Brodie-Sangster are looking over the Thames talking about love. They’re seen sitting on a bench, which is no longer there, on the London Southbank – look at how young Thomas looks! Fast forward 14 years and here they are again – this time a few minutes away next to the Tate Modern – catching up on the good old days. Did you know? Sangster was only 5 years younger than Keira Knightley in the film… but she was getting married and he still looked about 10… let that sink in. • I love exploring this film! It’s such a pleasure being able to do so and with less than 2 weeks until Christmas it’s just too perfect 
it’s quite emotional seeing the difference 14 years does! • • #loveactually #london #christmas #festive #holidays #love #family #time #reunion #winter #classic #film #photography #explore #thomasbrodiesangster #liamneeson
• It’s time for some Home Alone magic! The original is engrained in all of our hearts but the second film is also a really lovely Christmassy entry – watching Kevin make his way around New York City inspired me to visit some of the Home Alone 2 locations 
I always admired the connection between Kevin and this lady (the wonderful Brenda Fricker), whom was just a stranger in Central Park. With a little caring consideration, Kevin sees the love within this human being and makes their Christmas whole again. This time of year is, after all, about bringing people together! Turtle Doves are a symbol of friendship, Kevin gives this lady a Turtle Dove – he has one and she has one – as long as they each have their Turtle Dove, they’ll be friends forever 
• This scene takes place in @centralparknyc with the bridge in the back being Gapstow Bridge. I took these photos this Summer just gone. I wish I was their right now as I’m sure the bridge would look a little frostier and the lake even frozen over! Only a couple of weeks left until Christmas

This beloved gem of a film is everywhere this time of year and I love it all. I think every household will watch this at least once between now and the end of the year. I went to visit the location of my favourite scene in Selfridges: where Rowan Atkinson gift wraps a present for the late great Alan Rickman. The lengthy process of this scene along with the hilarious performances makes this such a funny moment in the film and I just love everything about it! Do you have a favourite scene? I can’t wait to visit some more over the festive season 
• So much has changed in Selfridges in 15 years. You can clearly see this from the photos above. I asked around and was pointed in the direction of a gentleman in a blue suit who has been at Selfridges for 22 years! He knew exactly where the scene was shot as he had a cameo in it. The ‘Wonder Room’. This room is the first room on the left if you walk in the main shop entrance via Oxford Street. The columns are the only recognisable section now; you can even see the same markings in the marble up-close. • • #loveactually #alanrickman #rowanatkinson #selfridges #christmas #festive #family #film #photography #london
• 30 years ago, on the 17 November 1989, The Little Mermaid became part of our world. Its oceanic essence of Disney magic has stayed with many of us over these past decades as Ariel continues to spread the musical anthems from under the sea. I wanted to try something a little different for this film. I ventured to the coastal regions of Cornwall (Looe to be exact) to find the perfect rock to encapsulate this iconic moment in reality. A wetsuit and more patience than usual was certainly needed but even then, I knew the result would be a little uncertain. Waves crashed and the irrational fear of sharks in Cornwall kept me busy. I tried to hold it together, stretching my arms to the sky, in an attempt to keep the card away from salty splashes while also preventing my equipment from being lost in the depths. It ended up being a really fun shot to capture! With some Google Maps, internet searching, and talking with tourist groups such as Visit Cornwall – I narrowed the perfect beach down to Hannafore in Looe. It was a little uncertain but it ended up being a good choice! • Regarded as the animated classic that bought in the Disney Renaissance, this film changed the landscape of Disney Animation with it becoming a much needed box-office hit and then by being followed by a slew of other fantastic fare; Beauty and the Best, Aladdin, The Lion King, Tarzan etc. It remains relevant today and I’m sure Disney will ensure the power and importance of this film are true to the present when the remake is released in the near future. • • #thelittlemermaid #30thanniversary #disney #ariel #ocean #musical #jodibenson #animation #art #film #photography #lovegreatbritain
I was full of emotions as I just wanted to say ‘Thank you’ to the actress who’d inspired me for all these years. With some patience and a little hope that I may be allowed to enter, I waited. No luck. However… after a little while Emily exited the building, her eyes fixated on the (very large, self-drawn) Devil Wears Prada shoe I was holding, and showed so much care for my support and enthusiasm. I couldn’t have been more elated or shocked! There was a group of people waiting for an autograph and so I vividly remember her saying we could take a photo together once she got in her car.

]]>101 Dalmatians (1996)
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?!
Babe (1995)
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.
Beethoven (1992)
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!
Free Willy (1993)
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.
Ratatouille (2007)
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.

]]>Ghostbusters, 1984
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.
Back to the Future, 1985
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.
The Original Star Wars Trilogy (1977-1983)
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.
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (1966)
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.
Mary Poppins (1964)
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.”
