17 years ago Harry Potter cast a spell
on cinema goers and the magic begins
I’m a lot if you fell in love with JK
Rowling’s best-selling book series in
the late 90s and based on the votes you
did then you undoubtedly remember the
astronomical hype building up to the
first Harry Potter screen adaptation in
addition to becoming the second
highest-grossing movie of its time Harry
Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone also
launched an immensely successful film
franchise that’s still going strong
seventeen years later with the release
of fantastic beasts the crimes of
Grindelwald just as actors Daniel
Radcliffe Rupert Grint and Emma Watson
grew up with the series so did a
generation of young audiences you’re
saying it’s Leviosa nope Livio song for
many the original film is the definition
of childhood forever holding a special
place in their hearts the estranged big
guy doesn’t it
Oh what guy huh not really six years ago
call of duty black ops 2 sells like
hotcakes November 13 2012 so for the
two years after Call of Duty first
introduced black ops the series
follow-up broke records left and right
building on the success of the 2010
original the hit sequel raked in five
hundred million dollars within its first
24 hours on the market the biggest
entertainment launch at the time this
record has since been broken by grand
theft auto 5 but black ops 2 remains one
of the few games that grossed over 1
billion dollars within just a couple of
weeks as 2012’s best selling game in the
u.s. black ops 2 dominated the gaming
community whether you played it on PC
PlayStation 3 Xbox 360 or Wii U G that
last console gen feels so long ago 22
years ago Michael Jordan joins the toon
squad November 15 1996 nice play
very smooth she’s obviously nuts about
me obviously the 90s were an interesting
time one when Shaquille O’Neal could be
a rapping genie Dennis Rodman could be
an action hero and Michael Jordan could
shoot bball with Bugs Bunny derived from
a series of Nike commercials Space Jam
is one of the strangest mashups ever to
meet the silver screen complete with
aliens NBA all-stars the Looney Tunes
and Bill Murray mr. Murray something’s
really been bugging me yeah just how did
you get here anyway bruisers a friend of
mine just teams are coming drop me off
as bizarre as its premise might have
been Space Jam not only became the
highest-grossing basketball movie to
date but also inspired an album that
went six times platinum and a billion
dollar media franchise the film’s
popularity has proved so enduring that a
sequel starring LeBron James is set to
commence shooting in 2019 19 years ago
dr. Dre comes out with his next episode
November 16 1999 after a seven-year wait
people weren’t sure if dr. Dre could
deliver the goods having set the bar so
high with his first album the chronic
through the single still d-r-e however
the rapper made it clear that he’d taken
his time to perfect the beat for his
follow-up release towards the end of the
20th century the album was originally
gonna be called chronic mm remember when
everything had mm at the end of it the
title eventually evolved into chronic
2001 then just 2001 reaching number one
on Billboard’s Top R&B hip-hop albums
chart 2001 remains a gangsta rap
landmark guaranteeing will never forget
about Dre 40 years ago the Star Wars
Holiday Special airs for the first and
last time November 17 1978
[Applause]
[Music]
nowadays there’s no shortage of Star
Wars content to go around back in the
late 70s however all we had was the
original blockbuster and this infamous
television special premiering on CBS one
year after the first film came out the
Star Wars Holiday Special was a surreal
spin-off with a singing Carrie Fisher a
singing Bea Arthur and whatever the hell
this is I can feel my creation well I
did introduce the world to Boba Fett the
special was despised by virtually
everybody including George Lucas 40
years down the line the special has yet
to be rebroadcast or officially released
on any home video format but still
enjoys a cult status through bootleg
copies and the internet christmas came
early
he had a bootleg copy of the Star Wars
Holiday Special this is the rarest film
in existence only or once the lame-ass
70s do you agree with our picks check
