Arthur Conan Doyle born 167 years ago today. Created Sherlock Holmes and Watson. Arguably the most influential mystery writer ever. Every detective story since owes him something.

Empire Strikes Back released 46 years ago today. I am your father. Darker, deeper and more complex. It proved a sequel could surpass what came before. The greatest Star Wars film.

Willow came out 38 years ago today. Lucas produced, Howard directed. Davis and Kilmer. An underappreciated 80s fantasy gem. Kilmer's Madmartigan is a great roguish performance.

Andre the Giant would have been 80 today. The gentle giant of The Princess Bride. His warmth came through in every scene. Anybody want a peanut?

Deadpool 2 came out eight years ago today. Reynolds doubled down. Brolin as Cable was inspired. It proved the first film wasn't a fluke.

Chris Cornell died nine years ago today at 52. Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog. That voice had a range and power that was almost supernatural. Gone too soon.

Into Darkness came out 13 years ago today. Cumberbatch brought intensity. Solid spectacle in the Kelvin Timeline even if the reveal divided fans.

Cate Blanchett turns 57 today. Two-time Oscar winner. Her Galadriel in Lord of the Rings made you believe in elves. One of the finest actors of her generation.

Conan the Barbarian came out 44 years ago today. Milius's sword-and-sorcery epic launched Schwarzenegger. Basil Poledouris' score alone is worth revisiting.
