The early 20th century was the peak of modern cinema, while the 1900s brought sound, color, storyline, and dialogue to the cinema. It developed, perfected the technology, and reeled high-profile motion pictures by the 1980s. Notably, rom-com and horror films were at their pinnacle, and movies such as Men in Black found their way to the audience’s hearts. Not just that, among many, actors such as Arnold Schwarzenegger were also at the top of their acting careers.

Making his film debut as early as 1970, the 7 times Mr. Olympia title winner hasn’t stopped to surprise us yet. Appearing in over 40 films, not only has he bagged multiple awards but became a household name in the 80s via movies such as the Terminator series. Not just bodybuilding and acting, his credits also expanded to being one of the most versatile governors California ever had, helping him take over a charity show from the former US president, Donald Trump. But did you know his ventures do not only limit to these?
