Sleepy Hollow is a 1999 Horror movie directed by Tim Burton. It’s my favorite Johnny Depp film. Scary, tense and dark is one of Burton’s best works. The cast is superb: Depp, Christina Ricci, Miranda Richarson, Michael Gambon, Casper Van Dien, Jeffrey Jones, Richard Griffiths, Ian McDiarmid, Michael Gough, Christopher Walken and, in a small role, Christopher Lee. Visually stunning and moody. Prepare to be scared.

The Battle of the River Plate, later renamed as Pursuit of the Graf Spee is one of the best Naval War Action movies ever. Very true to the actual events during the first days of WWII.

Directed and produced by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, is probably the most underrated movie from The Archers, but don’t let this discourage you: it’s really worth watching! With John Gregson, Anthony Quayle, Peter Finch, Ian Hunter, Bernard Lee and an outstanding supporting cast of British actors, including Christopher Lee in a smaller role.

Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly and Gregory Hines all agreed that the Stormy Weather routine by the amazing Nicholas Brothers is the greatest dance routine ever put on film. They combined acrobatic elements with tap dancing in what they called the “jumpin jive”

the Nicholas Brothers leapt exuberantly across the orchestra's music stands and danced on the top of a grand piano in a call and response act with the pianist

THE WHOLE DANCE WAS FILMED IN ONE TAKE AND UNTEHEARSED

Gregory Hines said that fif this routine was ever tried again their dance numbers would have to be computer-generated because no one now could emulate them.

Tribute to the greatest dancing duo most people don’t even know about.

The William A. Clark House in Manhattan, New York City.

The mansion was completed in 1911 at a cost of $7 million (equivalent to over $200,000,000 today). It was reported that Clark bought a quarry in New Hampshire, at a cost of $50,000 (equivalent to $1,454,000 in 2021), and built a railroad to transport the stone for the building. He also bought a bronze foundry employing 200 men to manufacture the bronze fittings. In addition, he imported marble from Italy, oak from Sherwood Forest in England, and parts of old French châteaux for the interior.

The mansion was demolished in 1927 and replaced with a luxury apartment building.
