The fire at Notre Dame in Paris resulted in years of history going up in flames, and despite the outpouring of support from across the globe (both emotionally and financially), it will never be the same. Luckily however, the Gothic cathedral of Notre Dame has been the scene of numerous classic movies over the years. The Parisian landmark, that has been a true inspiration in cinema, will forever live on through these films.
