My Movie Year

April 15, 2012 by fandangogroovers

Have you ever wondered what the best year for movies was? That is a question I asked of a group of movie bloggers. It isn’t as simple as it sounds, I was having second thoughts last night as was one participant who was sure he would write about 1993 but ended up going for 1985.

  I have fixed a few broken links and some more posts have come online. Still about five to go.

    And this was a cool idea of yours. Very interesting to see what choices everyone has picked. Discovering new blogs.
