Fight Club the Movie and Popular Culture Fight Club is a highly nominate and awarded movie that was released in October 1999. It was a trademark to the movie industry but also a great example of popular culture.

It shows how there is always a beginning to something before it becomes popular and there is always a reason for it. It also shows a great example of how the working (lower) culture fights and rebels against the higher culture.
Then, along came "The Wizard of Oz." Needless to say, audiences were not only stirred by the terrific story, but they were also dazzled by the film's special effects. The special effects are glorious in that old Hollywood way, in which you don't even have to look closely to see where the set ends and the backdrop begins. Almost all films were still being made in black and white, so the switch from black and white to color would have had a special significance in 1939 when the movie was made. "The Wizard of Oz" was a major achievement when you consider that it was filmed nearly three-quarters of a century ago.

During the 1970s, John Williams was King of Disaster Scores with The Poseidon Adventure, Earthquake and The Towering Inferno. His psychological score for Images remains one of the most innovative works in soundtrack history.

These are a few of the reasons why “Star Wars” was the most successful and influential films of its time, even though this film was shown in a few cinemas in 1977. “Star Wars” mise en scene, displayed this information right in the opening scene. The director, George Lucas used a scroll text that is known as the roll-up or the crawl. Lucas was inspired by the 1934 series of “Flash Gordon” which used the crawl technique.

Hollywood big screen vision’s correlations to Violence and Crime For years, movies had been the source of entertainment to us all.

Released in 1978, “Halloween” is definable as a film of the ‘slasher’ sub-genre of horror; not the first of the movement, but unarguably a defining film in the progression of horror as a genre. The film uses many of the conventions of the slasher film, providing viewing pleasure in recognition of such features for a fan of the genre in that they know they are watching the type of film that they enjoy. However, it is the areas in which “Halloween” differs from and redefines aspects of the slasher that afforded the film such profound success (as it is offering something new; a unique selling point for any film), and also caused such profound change within the slasher and within horror as a whole. The film’s opening shows both the conforming to such conventions, and also the new idea that most set “Halloween” apart from similar slasher-type horrors, and had the greatest effect on the wider genre; as the film’s tagline states, horror coming home. One of the first films to use this theme, “Halloween” is set apart in that does so whilst tying in other themes, such as the idea of the dysfunctional American family, and the removal of childhood innocence.
