Some of these compete were Beethoven, Schumann Chopin, Mendelssohn, Wagner, and Tchaikovsky. Classical music stays with people a long time.

In 1898, some first commercial movies were ever produced. Other films soon followed, and motion picture became a separate industry that was greater than any other industries. Several theaters and companies were formed specifically to produce and distribute films, while film stars became famous and often asked for huge salary for their performances. In 1917, Charlie Chaplin had a contract that called for an annual salary of one million dollars. In the United States today, much of the film industry is centered around Hollywood. Other centers exist in many parts of the world, and the film industry produces the largest number of films in the world every year. It is expensive to make movies so some film producers are sometimes dependent on movie studios. However, recent advances in film making equipment have allowed film producers to be more independent. A typical Hollywood style filmmaking production cycle consists of five main stages: Development, Preproduction, Production, Post-production, Distribution. This production cycle typically takes three years. The first year is taken up with development. The second year comprises preproduction and production. The third year, post-production and distribution. Profit is a key force in the industry, because filmmaking is expensive many filmmakers try to create works of lasting social significance.

Ever since the first tentative competition in Uruguay in 1930, FIFA's flagship has constantly grown in popularity and prestige. A group of visionary French football administrators, led in the 1920s by the innovative Jules Rimet, are credited with the original idea of bringing the world's strongest national football teams together to compete for the title of World Champions. The original gold trophy bore Jules Rimet's name and was contested three times in the 1930s, before the Second World War put a 12-year stop to the competition.
