Steven Gaydos Executive VP of Content In 2012, the world’s film critics considered Federico Fellini’s 1963 Oscar-winning “8 ½” one of the 10 greatest films of all time. By 2022, Fellini’s landmark film had fallen out of the top 30.
Once upon a time, director/screenwriter/producer Martin Scorsese had reportedly cited it as his favorite film of all time. More recently it’s come in second for Scorsese, tucked behind Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Endlessly copied, cribbed from (both consciously and unconsciously) and parodied, it inspired Paul Mazursky’s 1970 film “Alex in Wonderland” (which includes a cameo by Fellini) and was the source material for the Tony-winning musical “Nine.” Variety’s critic Bob Hawkins was effusive about the film straight out of the gate, reviewing it after its Rome premiere.

The ABC series, set in Eisenhower-Era Milwaukee, materialized on the heels of the 1950s nostalgia craze generated by the movie “American Graffiti.“The show revolved around the all-American, middle-class Cunningham family: loving parents Marion (Marion Ross) and Howard (Tom Bosley), their good-natured teenage son, Richie (Ron Howard, who co-starred in “American Graffiti”) and his kid sister, Joanie (Erin Moran).Howard, the future Oscar-winning director (“A Beautiful Mind”), was already familiar to television viewers as Opie Taylor on “The Andy Griffith Show” in the 1960s; both Ross and Bosley were seasoned showbiz veterans whose resumes dated back to the 1950s. The supporting cast members, though, were largely unfamiliar to viewers: Henry Winkler as loyal, tough-guy greaser with a heart of gold Arthur Fonzarelli — aka “Fonzie,” aka “The Fonz” (“Aaayyy!”) — and Richie’s pals, wide-eyed Potsie Weber (Anson Williams) and wiseguy Ralph Malph (Don Most).In its third season, the series went from a single-format sitcom (shot like a movie) to a three-camera setup with episodes filmed before a live audience — adding electric energy to a surging show already ingrained in American pop culture.By its fourth season, “Happy Days” shot to No.
