Film Institutions - 20th Century Fox

Another of the most famous film institutions is 20th Century Fox, who probably have one of the most famous logos in the industry, that has been parodied many times. 20th Century Fox was founded in 1935, so it was one of the later film institutions, but it has certainly still had a big impact. It is owned by News Corporation, as they also own the Fox television channel, which gets them a lot of their money. The television channel alone produces many classic programs that are loved around the world, and the film side of it just makes it even better! Of course at some point they may consider updating it to '21st Century Fox', but for now they seem to be content with their original name. They tend to make very high budget films, and they try to go all out as far as money is concerned. To a lot of people though, they are not much more than a logo, as they haven't really got any theme parks or anything else to attach their audience to them, but none-the-less they are still very well known.

Famous 20th Century Fox films include: 'Avatar', 'Star Wars', 'Independence Day', 'Home Alone', 'X-Men', 'The Simpsons Movie', 'Ice Age', 'I, Robot', 'Marley and Me', 'Taken', 'Minority Report', 'Prometheus', 'Die Hard', 'Speed', 'Alien', 'Eragon', 'True Lies', 'Titanic', 'Moulin Rouge!', 'Road to Perdition', 'Night at the Museum', 'Austrailia' and much, much more!
