"Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds,
to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no
man has gone before," said actor William Shatner in the show’s
opening.
The world first met Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock on this day in
history, Sept. 8, 1966, with the premiere of the television series

On June 20, 1975, Jaws, a film directed by Steven Spielberg that
made countless viewers afraid to go into the water, opened in
theaters. The story of a great white shark that terrorizes a New
England resort town became an instant blockbuster and the
highest-grossing film in movie history until it was bested by
1977’s Star Wars.
Jaws was nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Picture
category and took home three Oscars, for Best Film Editing,
Best Original Score and Best Sound. The film, a breakthrough
for director Spielberg, then 27 years old, spawned several
sequels.

Jaws put the now-famed director on
the Hollywood map.
On May 8, 1963, with the release of Dr. No, North American
moviegoers get their first look–down the barrel of a gun–at
the super-spy James Bond (codename: 007), the immortal
character created by Ian Fleming in his now-famous series
of novels and portrayed onscreen by the relatively unknown
Scottish actor Sean Connery (1930 – 2020).
By the time James Cameron took the stage to accept his Academy
Award for Best Director on the night of March 23, 1998, the Oscar dominance of his blockbuster film Titanic was all but assured.
Titanic tied the record for most Oscar nominations with 14—joining 1950’s All About Eve—and by night’s end would tie with Ben Hur
(1959) for most wins by sweeping 11 categories, including the
coveted Best Picture.
