I know Christmas is upon us, but I wanted to send out a little post to celebrate yet another milestone. Against all expectations, this blog of mine has reached a new high of 600 followers! Of course, I enjoy watching movies and writing about them for their own sake, but it always lends me some extra satisfaction to see that others share my enjoyment. Every like and follow is worth a thank you, which all too often goes unspoken, so to all who have made my day with the click of a button, I wish to say thank you and a Merry Christmas!
Now, typically there’s some special extra for this kind of milestone (like my list of Overrated and Underrated Movies when I hit 500 followers). Due to my school schedule and the immediate holiday, that will have to wait, but I do have some special lists in mind. In the meantime, though, I thought I would share some additional banners I’ve fashioned for the top of each page, which should generate at random from now on. While the banner I’ve had is full of films I love (and will stick around), these new banners focus on specific genres, such as
Comedy,
Science Fiction,
Fantasy,
Animation,
Romance,
Foreign Films,
Musicals,
Horror,
And a miscellaneous one including the Western, Action, War, Drama, Heist, and Historical genres.
All of the films represented are excellent and highly recommended, so feel free to ask if you want to know where any of the images came from.
Again, I wish to thank everyone who reads, likes, follows, and cares even a little bit about my poetry or my humble opinion. May God bless you all, and have a wonderful Christmas!

Thanks, Rob! Sorry I’ve been out of touch since my class started keeping me extra busy.
Merry Christmas to you too, and I hope you had a Happy Hanukkah as well!
Understandable. Would love to have u rejoin when u get the chance. Yep. Had a nice Hannukah. We took off work and went on a short 3 day vacation with the kids so that was fun
Belated Merry Christmas. What do you do to achieve so many followers? I have under 50. 600 is an impressive number!
Had fun guessing the films in the banners. The miscellaneous banner-which film is the guy with square glasses? Reminds me of the actor from Flash Gordon (https://movie-dude.co.uk/John%20Hollis.htm)
I’d also like to know the identity of the b/w film in Romance and the image of the two people kneeling down in Science Fiction banner
Thanks, Chris! I’m honestly not sure how I’ve gotten so many followers. I’m not even on social media. I guess they’ve just filtered in from regular posting, thankfully.
Glad you like the banners too! The guy with the glasses is David Strathairn in Sneakers (a great ensemble). I know who you mean from Flash Gordon, but I never thought about the similarity. They must have the same optometrist! 😀
The Romance one is from The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, and the one in Sci-fi is from Source Code, both of which are great films in their own right.
