    Though she'd appeared on film a few times previous Though she'd appeared on film a few times previously, Audrey Hepburn was officially "introduced" (according to the opening credits) to an international audience with William Wyler's practically perfect #RomanHoliday.

The film, based on a story by Dalton Trumbo, co-starred the magnificent Gregory Peck as charming journalist Joe Bradley, and Eddie Albert as Joe's long-suffering photographer friend, Irving, arriving in theatres #OTD in 1953.

The chemistry between Hepburn and Peck was off the charts (with Albert proving the perfect third wheel), and added just the right amount of magic to an already beguiling story. And to that the film's perfect/realistic ending that sets it apart from so many similar cinematic fairytales or copycats, and Roman Holiday was bound to be an unforgettable classic.

What's your favourite moment of Princess Ann discovering Rome?

If we had to pick one, we'd have to pick the Mouth of Truth scene. Peck's amazing improv got such a perfect reaction from Hepburn that it's become hard to top!

    50 years ago today…Clive Campbell, aka. DJ Kool 50 years ago today…Clive Campbell, aka. DJ Kool Herc, deejayed his sister’s back-to-school party in the recreation centre of 1520 Sedgwick Ave. in the Bronx. And so it was, with two turntables and a mixer, and someone (was it Theodore Puccio? Coke La Rock? Sources vary!) on the mic calling out people’s names in the crowd and performing rhymes, that hip-hop was born.

Marko Djurdjic (@___mdj), Courtney Small (@smallmind1978) and Colin Biggs (@thebiggsscreen) take an in-depth look at the @criterionchannel's celebratory series of films both about and influenced by, hip-hop culture, ranging from the earliest known example (#WildStyle from 1982), through the '90s and into the 21st Century.

Check it out at the link in our bio.
