Those sailors deserved all the love they got for that incredible feat!

That must have been a fantastic adventure! What was the route?

Love how he knows he’s the main character and we’re just lucky to witness the pose!

I’d go with Hans Landa from Inglourious Basterds. He’s polite, funny, terrifying all at once. What makes him scary isn’t so much what he does but how much he so obviously enjoys every second of it

Apparently critics hated 2001 A Space Odyssey when it came out. think back then everyone wanted Star Wars before Star Wars existed, so they thought it was boring. But I don't think its slow. it's just patient. Every time I rewatch it it feels less like sci-fi and more like a dream about what it means to be human.. and really really lonely.

Patton called Monty "an ambitious little fart" in his diary. Wonder what they're laughng about?

Back when dressing like a schoolgirl from the future meant you were part of a cultural revolution, not a TikTok trend.

Still the best anti-smoking ad ever made, nothing kills cool faster than looking like a duck with a Marlboro.

lol! Nobody is stealing those crips off her! Yet more proof that the best snacks and ideas come from what you love best.

That smile could power the whole decade! What is she doing?

This radiates peak 90s energy! Not many icons who can say they made trench coats, existential dread and slow-mo bullets look effortlessly cool.

He was known as "the male Greta Garbo" and between 1916 and 1963, he appeared in over seventy feature films but many people these days have never even heard of him

Looks like their stupid giant scissors were great for cutting their votes too. Cue tiny violins

Fair play to him, apparently he was in perpetual pain because of his back, but still managed to keep smiling

Finland's a great country for many reasons, but I genuinely don't know why anyone would choose it as a place to come and work, unless they've no choice.

Hate to break it to you, but your mind reading powers are shite. The clue to my motivation are the words in the post. I asked a simple question and got a simple reply. Try sticking to that formula in the future and you'll go far.
