John Wayne was the biggest star of his era, striding (and cantering) across the silver screen for decades. The Duke remains iconic for his leading roles in numerous Hollywood Westerns, including his Oscar-winning turn in 1969’s True Grit. But when he was asked to name his favourite films from his …

The James Bond legend’s co-star was Pedro Armendáriz, who played Ali Kerim Bey, the head of MI6 Station T in Istanbul. The Mexican actor, who has a substantial role in From Russia With Love, had sadly been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Back in 1956, he had had a part in …

Later today, at 6:50pm, Edward Scissorhands will hit BBC 2 screens. The horror-fantasy movie from Tim Burton features Johnny Depp as the titular creature who is discovered in a derelict castle and assimilated into “normal” life. But long before the Pirates of the Caribbean star was brought onto the picture, …

Who will be the next James Bond? That’s the question 007 fans have been asking ever since Daniel Craig said No Time To Die would be his final outing as Ian Fleming’s spy. And following that explosive ending we know for sure it certainly was. However, it’s now been 18 …
