From the tragic tale of the Titanic to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, blockbuster moments have captivated audiences throughout history. 🎥⭐️ In 1912, Alfonzo Meo boarded the RMS Titanic with hopes of a new beginning. Little did he know that his postcard would become a haunting relic from one of cinema's most iconic films. Fast forward to 1997, where Leonardo DiCaprio donned a life jacket on set while portraying Jack Dawson in James Cameron's epic masterpiece, Titanic. The very same life jacket that transported us back in time and left us breathless. Speaking of timeless classics, British actress Vivien Leigh stole our hearts as Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind. Her enchanting performance made this 1939 film an unforgettable blockbuster sensation. Meanwhile, across the pond at Blockbuster Video in London on November 8th, 1990, movie enthusiasts lined up eagerly for their favorite flicks. A testament to how these video rental stores became cultural landmarks during their heyday. But blockbusters aren't just confined to movies; they extend into other realms too. In Brisbane, Thor himself descended upon the city streets for filming - creating an electrifying atmosphere worthy of any box office hit. And who could forget when Wolf from Gladiators graced Reading with his presence? Opening a new Blockbuster Video store on November 6th, 1994 was undoubtedly a momentous occasion for fans and locals alike. Taking another step back in time to 1935 brings us face-to-face with eager cinephiles queuing outside cinemas. Their anticipation palpable as they awaited yet another cinematic spectacle that would soon become part of pop culture history. Through it all - from vintage cinema queues to bustling video rental stores - Blockbuster has been there every step of the way since its inception in Raynes Park, Wimbledon on November 8th, 1990. A true symbol of the blockbuster era.
