#5:
Slumdog Millionaire (2008)
Pathé
The surprise Danny Boyle hit which took the 2009 awards season by storm, you couldn’t get more of an underdog story than an Indian orphan whose harrowing life experiences on the streets of Bombay take him to the brink of becoming a millionaire and national celebrity, and a fate even greater in this gritty but heartwarming drama.
Directed by Danny Boyle and starring Dev Patel, Freida Pinto and Anil Kapoor among others.
#TriviaTuesday: A cost-cutting insect-like suit was the early design for the alien hunter in 1987's 'Predator'—unsuccessfully worn by the character's first actor Jean-Claude Van Damme—but it was ditched for a now iconic Stan Winston design at twice the price. Money well spent. pic.twitter.com/pvbTmpgUIB
#TriviaTuesday: ‘Big Kahuna Burger’ is most certainly the fictional fast food of choice in the Tarantinoverse, appearing or referenced in 'Reservoir Dogs', 'From Dusk Till Dawn', 'Death Proof', 'Four Rooms', as well as its starring turn in 1994’s 'Pulp Fiction' of course. pic.twitter.com/k3xVsbDuA6
