There's also following the calendar of a revival house, if one's in your area, and marking the dates for film classics they're showing and that you MUST SEE ON THE BIG SCREEN, even if you've watched them a thousand times already on tv/DVD.Grand Old Movieshttp://grandoldmovies.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-58018395903833867752012-06-14T15:56:07.662-04:002012-06-14T15:56:07.662-04:00I plead guilty to all 9 counts, plus from my blog ...I plead guilty to all 9 counts, plus from my blog - <br /><br />"You may be a movie buff if … you have more pictures of Laurel and Hardy about the house than of actual relatives." - Caftan WomanCaftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-86159877522044444982012-06-14T15:44:25.734-04:002012-06-14T15:44:25.734-04:00Great list, Rick, and I can see myself in all of t...Great list, Rick, and I can see myself in all of these, especially #4. Becky, the same thing happened to me with the Silver Screen Trivial Pursuit. That's very funny. I wound up selling mine because it was just gathering dust in the closet. <br /><br />I've tried to introduce friends to classic film, but it seems to be more and more of a losing battle each year...and these are people in their late 40s and early 50s.

As far as No. 9, nobody will play movie games with me anymore.

I was only allowed to read the questions. Toto, I always referred to No. 3 as black holes!

You start on one movie, check out something else the director did, are led to yet another classic, whose lead actor takes you to another work, etc. Rabbit holes galore before you are finished. Great list, Rick! And Walker, I agree about amassing a film reference library! Also, have you ever watched someone eating something in a film and then seriously craved that?toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.com
