Star Wars was released 48 years ago, today. Luke Skywalker destroying The Death Star was ridiculously exciting back in '77. It's a masterclass in editing, special effects and story structure. When I was 6 years old, watching this was akin to a cinematic out of body experience.

The Ninth Gate was released 26 years ago today. Johnny Depp kept the same neutral look throughout so the character would feel timeless, almost out of place in any decade. Polanski wanted Corso to look like he belonged to old books, not a specific era.
