Earlier this month, a very passionate writer over at Badass Digest wrote a unique article which fleshed out his love for the movies. The concept was picked up by one of the better writers at Ain’t It Cool News who has encouraged others to “pay it forward”; almost a film-geek chain-letter where movie buffs can share the inspirations that keep them going back to the theatre.
The two-year anniversary of Reel Speak felt like the perfect time to share this Blogger’s inspirations. These are the Top 20 pieces of my movie history which inspire and get me out of bed every (goddamn) Tuesday morning…
