The Film That Started It All Blogathon
We all have that one truly special film, the one that really made your love for film and cinema so deep. I thought it would be a fantastic idea to share this with each other and it could really create some positive thoughts and discussion.
The film does not have to be the greatest ever made, just the one that you relate to as your biggest influence in terms of loving film and cinema! I have had this idea for quite a while now and after so many negative comments and attitudes on Twitter recently I felt we all needed do think positively about the films we love!
Dates: April 19th-22nd 2019
This gives more than a month to get involved and I thought it would be ideal to do this over the long Easter bank holiday weekend. So if you want to get involved please comment below and with which film you will be writing about (for this one it really doesn’t matter if someone else is writing about the same film). If you let me know which film you are going to be writing about I can put together your own graphic!
Content
This can be anything you want really in terms of format as well, if you want to do it as a list or an in-depth post detailing everything you loved and hopefully still love about the film.
Please share this on your blog to help grow the announcement and get fellow bloggers to sign up!

I was going to reblog yours one day unless you want me to wait
That sounds good!
Count me in! I will be writing about The Matrix. I will also re-blog this post (:
Thanks for getting involved! I will add your film to the post 😊
Reblogged this on Post-Credit Nerdie and commented:
I’ll be writing about The Matrix! Get involved and let us know what you’ll be writing about.
Thanks for sharing!
Ooh let me ponder!
Looking forward to hearing what you’d put up with!
Count me in! I’ve been sitting here thinking about what film it would be, I think I’ll go with Abbott And Costello Meet The Mummy.
Fantastic! Really looking forward to reading your post!
I’ll write about Jurassic Park of course!
I cannot wait to read that!
Love to take part. I’d do Road to Perdition if I could.
Fantastic! Welcome aboard and what an incredible film choice, I’ll add you to the list later.
Reblogged this on The Sardonic Romantic and commented:
Think this is a great idea to discuss why different people fell in love with cinema. I’ll be taking part. Any takers?
Thanks for sharing!
Great idea. And I would love to write something about it. For me it’s a combination of 2 movies that started my love for film on different levels. “Star Wars – A New Hope” and “Evil Dead”. Hope you’re not expecting an extensive thesis 🙂
I’ve had the idea for quite a while now and with so many negatives on Twitter I thought we should all celebrate our love for film!
It can be however long or short you would like, a must is gushing 😉 haha
Is there a deadline?
Just to be posted between 19th-22nd April as its the long Easter weekend 🙂
I’m in! I’ll do Toy Story, Aladdin, and Star Wars. I’ve already done full reviews of them all but I can do another write up in a different format.
That sounds great Drew! I’ll add it on the list 🙌🏻
Love to take part in this but already reviewed this film, any chance I can add this post as not entered for any previous blogathons, Its for the TV Movie The Gift of Love? from Gill at Realweegiemidget Reviews
Hi Gill, welcome aboard! That is no problem at all 🙌🏻
Thanks! Looking forward to reading the other reviews.
