Let's end on a moment that has single-handedly changed the way people make their way down stairs - forever.

In Todd Phillip's Joker, Arthur Fleck finally realises who he is and decides to boogie on down some Gotham steps to the beat of Gary Glitter's Rock & Roll Part II, as a way of celebrating his coming out as The Joker.

The scene in question caused a lot of fuss - due to the fact that a convicted child sex offender's music was accompanying Joaquin Phoenix's choreography - but that didn't stop the routine inspiring a whole wave of fans to seek out the real-life location of the filmed sequence.

Shakespeare Avenue, Bronx, New York is where Joker-lovers found the now iconic steps and they have already littered the internet with their own various versions of the moment.

Apart from becoming an Instagram celebrity in their own right, the stairs have had their location name changed to 'Joker Stairs' on the social media platform and - with new hordes of fans filing down the stairs by the day - it looks as though New York is now home to yet another landmark that has been firmly planted in the annals of movie history.
