There are movies we’ve watched that we never forget and usually those movies accompany certain scenes in real locations in which we relate those movies to, for example Marty McFly’s house from “Back to the Future” or that famous scene in “Pretty Woman” of Richard Gere going up the fire escape of a building to declare his love for Julia Roberts. Those were real scenes. But how have those scenes/locations changed over time? Some apparently have aged well, while others – not so good. I’ve tried to include videos where possible of some of the actual scenes/locations from the original movies.

So how many of these movie classic scenes do you remember?



1. The historic Golden Nugget casino, featured in the James Bond film ‘Diamonds Are Forever‘ in 1971, underwent a $100 million renovation.

The famous scene can be seen about 1:18 secs into the video below.

Captured some love doves getting all lovey-dovey on the fence. They don't call them that for nothing!

Unfortunately, the images were shot through a patio door (except for the very last one), so they were not as clear as I would have liked them to be. Nevertheless, you get the picture!

Out of all of these 35 shots, there is one that is my most favourite! Can you guess which one?

We often see iconic photos which captures poignant moments in time but rarely do we get to see the photographers behind those photos. Thanks to one American photographer, Tim Mantoani and his “Behind Photographs” series, this may not have to be so rare anymore.
Mantoani has photographed more than 150 other photographers along with the photos that made them famous, using a Polaroid camera – itself said to be an extraordinary rarity – a 20×24 instant camera that produces plates of 20 inches by 24 (appr. 50cm x 60cm). The camera weights 235 pounds (106kg) and has its own custom wheeled tripod.
The photos of these photographers have been viewed by millions, and some are considered the defining representations of the historic events or people that they’ve captured. The portrait series is available in book form on Amazon. 
I'm not sure what #16 of Muhammad Ali was about, with the arrows stuck in him but perhaps some of you do. I don't expect you to know the photographers behind these famous photos but how many iconic images did you recognized?
