RE: Stonewall - Trivia, Questions and Fun Facts
The Stonewall Inn or sometimes referred as Bonnie's Stonewall Inn was originally built as stables in the mid 19th century. By 1930 it became a Tearoom for heterosexuals. The Stonewall Inn first closed in 1964 after 34 year's of business as a Tearoom when the interior was destroyed by fire. It was restored by three mobsters in 1967 as a gay bathhouse and became the largest gay bar in the US. After the riots in 1969 it shortly closed. For twenty years the Stonewall ran as a Bagel Sandwich Shop, a Chinese Restaurant and shoe store before reopening in 1998 as simply Stonewall.

RE: The Treasure of the Sierra Madre - Trivia, Questions and Fun Facts

RE: The Shining - Trivia, Questions and Fun Facts
The movie has achieved the status of classic and is generally considered a horror masterpiece in spite of several factors apparently working against it. It's the first and only horror film for director Stanley Kubrick and for most of the actors. Author of the source material Stephen King famously had major issues with the narrative and the cast, although he praised the visuals. When it was released, the movie was not as well-regarded by critics as it is today; director Brian DePalma criticized it, claiming that Kubrick "can't direct horror because he doesn't like or understand people".

RE: Hercules - Trivia, Questions and Fun Facts
Directors John Musker and Ron Clements selected Hercules (1997) as a project in the fall of 1993, after considering nearly 30 ideas in various stages of development at the studio, as is explained in Disney's official press kit. They were attracted to the mythological aspects of the story, and felt that not only hadn't it been done before at Disney (except briefly in the Pastoral segment of Fantasia (1940)), but it would be great for animation because of its fantasy elements, larger-than-life characters and strong potential for anachronisms and satirical humor. Most importantly, they saw Hercules as a "common man's hero" with exciting possibilities because of his demigod (half-man, half-god) status.

RE: The Living Daylights - Trivia, Questions and Fun Facts
Naturally, with a movie that features orchestras and cellos, this Bond film features numerous pieces of classical music: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 40th Symphony in G minor (1st movement) is heard being played at the Bratislava Conservatoire during the defection sequence. Aleksandr Borodin's String Quartet No. 2 in D major (3rd movement) is heard the second time James Bond is in the audience hearing Kara perform at the Bratislava Conservatoire. When Bond and Kara arrive in Vienna, they hear Johann Strauss's Wine, Women, and Song Waltz. The opera they hear in Vienna is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Il Nozze di Figaro (act 2). Kara practices Antonín Dvorák's Cello Concerto as Bond returns to the hotel room. At the film's end, Kara is playing Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations. These pieces of music were not included on the movie's soundtrack, because they were only excerpted for the film.
