Garry Marshall's sitcom "Happy Days" provided ABC with a welcome ratings boost when it premiered as a mid-season replacement on January 15, 1974. To say its success was surprising would be to ignore the blockbuster elephant in the room that was "American Graffiti," George Lucas' coming-of-age comedy that tore up the box office the year prior by exploiting Baby Boomer nostalgia for growing up amid the rise of rock-and-roll and cruising culture in the 1950s and '60s. Many members of this generation had reached parenting age and, as such, welcomed any opportunity to escape from their day jobs and child-rearing and remember their carefree days of sucking down milkshakes at their local diner and slamming coins into the jukebox.

A gripping video from the screening shows the Bad Romance singer in a mild panic, seemingly caught off guard by Phoenix’s gesture. Was he giving her a piece of his mind for not standing up to soak in the applause or just nudging her to grab her share of the spotlight?
This moment has social media buzzing and it’s safe to say that Gaga’s bewildered expression has become the cherry on top of this already incredible premiere.

Exclusive: Patrice: The Movie, a rare nonfiction film that can truly be described as a “documentary rom-com,” will bow on Hulu on September 30, following its world premiere this Sunday at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The film directed by Ted Passon (Philly D.A.) comes from ABC News Studios, in partnership with All Ages Productions and in association with Ess Projects and Cedar Road. It documents the relationship of a disabled couple – Patrice Jetter and the love of her life, Garry Wickham – and the dilemma they face that marriage equality does not extend to people with disabilities.
Patrice and Garry “want nothing more than to get married, but if they do — or even if they just move in together — the government benefits they need to survive would be cut,” notes a release about the film. “Despite the scrutiny they’re under, they decide to plan a commitment ceremony that could risk their entire future.

While Pretty Woman did much to cement Richard Gere's leading man status in Hollywood, the actor admits he believes there wasnt much substance to the character. In Pretty Woman, Edward (Gere) pays sex worker Vivian (Julia Roberts) to act as his girlfriend for a week as he attends several high-profile work engagements. As the week goes on, the pair fall in love. The movie stands as one of the most beloved rom-coms of the '90s, and one of the most memorable projects for both Roberts and Gere.
At the 81st Venice Film Festival (via The Hollywood Reporter), Gere spoke at a masterclass on the art of cinema through acting, screenwriting, lighting, scoring and dubbing. There, he critiqued his Pretty Woman character for being criminally underwritten. He explained, It was basically a suit and a good haircut. This was in response to a scene that was screened featuring Edward...

It was a role that solidified Richard Gere as one of Hollywood’s most dashing leading men, but the actor has admitted he hasn’t watched his performance in Pretty Woman for a long time.
The star spoke at a master class at the 81st Venice Film Festival on Sunday on the art and craft of cinema through acting, screenwriting, lighting, scoring and dubbing.
To kick off the conversation, it was noted that Gere celebrated his 75th birthday on Saturday, so the capacity crowd erupted with cheers of “Happy Birthday,” after which he dutifully thanked everyone.
The personal touches continued throughout the master class as the actor was shown a clip from his first film role, Days of Heaven (1978), which he admitted made him “so emotional.” He swiftly pointed out his son, Homer, and asked him to stand up for the audience. “I think I’m only a little bit...

Disney has created so many timeless classics that there were always going to be a few films that simply slipped through the cracks. While each one has a cult following, it's fair to say that many of the entries listed below have been largely forgotten by mainstream audiences despite their incredible potential.
Each of these movies contains a gem of an idea, a specific concept, or an animation style that surely should have meant that it would stick around for the ages. Most of these pictures deserve a second look and a chance to shine once more in a new era. Indeed, The Walt Disney Company's storied history wouldn't be quite the same without these projects.
