🇺🇸 America turns 250 today.

And we're celebrating with a man who became
the face of American cinema.

This is John Wayne in 1933.
He's 26 years old.
Nobody calls him Duke yet.
He's not a cowboy. Not a soldier.
Just a charming young man from Iowa
trying to figure out who he is.

Six years later, John Ford put him
in Stagecoach — and changed everything.

But first, there was this.

His Private Secretary (1933) —
a pre-Code Hollywood comedy,
free on the channel right now.

Happy 250th Birthday, America. 🎬

What's your favourite John Wayne film of all time?

The greatest film scores in Hollywood history were written in the 1930s and 1940s.

Bernard Herrmann. Miklos Rozsa. Max Steiner. Dimitri Tiomkin. They wrote music for films that cost less than a single day of a modern production budget - and those scores are still playing 80 years later.

Name a classic film whose music you still hear in your head. 🎬

At the peak of the studio system in the 1940s, Hollywood was releasing over 400 films a year.

An actor under contract could be in six films in twelve months. Some were great. Some were filmed in eight days on sets borrowed from last week's picture. All of them employed the carpenters, the seamstresses, the technicians, and the crews who built an entire industry from scratch.

Name a classic Hollywood film you think more people should know about. 🎬

Memorial Day weekend is four days away.

Classic Hollywood made some of the most honest WWII films ever produced - because the people behind the camera had been there. William Wyler flew combat missions to film footage for Mrs. Miniver. Audie Murphy played himself in To Hell and Back and could not bring himself to watch the final cut.

Name a classic WWII film you think every American should see. 🎬
