Twilight: Remembering the series' best moments on its 11th anniversary

Twilight was and still is one of the most popular romance fictions in the entire world. The series was first introduced to the world in the form of bestselling novels written by author Stephenie Meyer. These novels were later adapted into films that continue to be popular among teenage audiences. The Twilight movie franchise starred the internationally acclaimed actors Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in the leading roles. Kristen played the role of the female lead Bella Swan, an average teenage girl, while Robert played the male lead, the 108-year-old vampire Edward Cullen who still looked like he was 17. The first Twilight film was released on November 21, 2008, making the film over 11 years old. On the occasion of Twilight's 11th anniversary, here are a few of the best moments from the film franchise.
