4 (or more) Shots From 4 (or more) Films is just what it says it is, 4 (or more) shots from 4 (or more) of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 (or more) Shots From 4 (or more) Films lets the visuals do the talking.
105 years ago today, Michael Anderson was born in London. Anderson may have never become a household name but he directed some memorable movies. Around The World in 80 Days proved that audiences love spectacle and celebrity cameos and it won the Oscar for Best Picture of 1956. (Though Anderson was nominated for best director, the award went to George Stevens for Giant.) However, I think that Anderson’s best-remembered film is probably Logan’s Run. Whenever I shout, “I hate outside!” or I reply to a simple question with, “There is no sanctuary,” people always seem to automatically know which film I’m referencing. Anderson followed up Logan’s Run with Orca, which is one of the better Jaws rip-offs.
Today, we honor the career and legacy of Michael Anderson with….
