Absolutely devastating news about the passing of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle. What an achievement to make so many people’s favourite film, but from a range of six different titles. Here on the set of the superlative and unique The Princess Bride.

Udo Kier, a unique presence who could do more in 2 mins of screen time than most actors could do in 90+. RIP

RIP to inspirational movie poster legend, Drew Struzan. Everything he put his pen to ended up being some canonical representation of a movie we now love. Often, the posters are more famous than the movies themselves. Poster auteurism!

We love these unused Struzan designs for Back to the Future.
