A Life in Movies Blogathon

April 10, 2011 by fandangogroovers

Inception, Toy Story 3, Winter’s Bone, Sex and the City 2, what was your favourite movie of 2010? That’s an easy question you probably know the answer without giving it a second thought. But what about your favourite from five years ago, or ten, or event the year you were born? Now that’s a little harder.

Following the unexpected popularity of the Desert Island DVDs blogathon I organised last year I am inviting fellow bloggers to tell us what their favourite movies are from each year of their life so far. You can put as much or as little effort into you list as you wish. It could just be a list of movies, you may with to add a sentence or two about the movies or what they mean to you, you can brighten it up with images, posters or trailers. The choice is yours.

Publish the list on your own blog on Sunday 8th May and send me a link as early as you can (a week before would be ideal). I will be doing a central post with links to all participants and have a few follow-up posts planned. If you want some inspiration take a look at THIS. I ran the idea past a few people last year, one of them Meradith from M Carter @ the Movies liked it so much she published it on her birthday (the idea started out as a idea for my own birthday).

If you wish to take part or if you have any questions email me at fandangogroovers@gmail.com or leave comment below.

I’d like to participate but not sure I can meet the deadline, Andy. I might do a combo of pics/posters/clips/write-up as I’ve got 3 dozen movies to choose (yes I’m THAT old :D) If I were younger, it’d be a lot easier to do.

I know I am still the village newbie, but I would like to participate.

Would that be ok?

Hey Andy, I’ve only just picked up your email (there’s a different address on my blog which is better because I don’t check the other one)
This is a great idea, I’ll try and join in.

Great idea, I’d be very interested in participating.

Mine won’t be very hard to make I suppose, only 17 years to cover…

Hey, I am just sitting down and doing my post. What do most guys use to define what year a film belongs to? I am thinking of using IMDB but it has some strange release years on some films I think. This is really a reminder of some really bad film years btw!

I know it’s a tad late, but I’d love to do this! Though how the hell I would choose is another matter 😛 All I can definitely say is Moon and Back to the Future would be in there. Probably going to be a bit sci-fi heavy…
