This month marks the 5th anniversary of Reel
Speak.
Reel Speak was launched on a foundation of love for the
movies; a love affair which began in a darkened theatre in the spring or summer
of 1977. In 2010, this Blogger decided to share that love with family, friends,
and eventually strangers…all of whom have a similar passion for those silver
screens and the stories they tell. Sharing that passion is certainly a two-way
street, and from each other we learn and become inspired…and remember why we
love film in the first place.
This birthday is once again the perfect time to share this
Blogger’s 20 reasons for loving the movies. This list of direct and indirect
references has changed and evolved over the years, but serves as an excellent
look at the man behind the curtain; for the movies you love and wear on your
sleeves says a lot about you.
