Watching A Year – All the Films Of 1939
Wow, there are some awesome movies being reviewed, including some great picks that don't get a lot of attention (e.g., THE LONE WOLF SPY HUNT, Q PLANES). I'm looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited about this blogathon! This is suuuch a great topic :)
ReplyDeleteThe final list looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone who signed on and worked with us in selecting some great films and a few that are new to us. With so many amazing writers providing their unique take on these films I know this will be a fun three days.
As of May 18th when the dust has settled on our frenzied blogs it will be confirmed that 1939 is indeed "The Golden Year" of cinema.

I really wanted to be part of this Blogathon, but I guess I came around too late to get in on it. I do notice that the great Lubitsch film Ninotchka is not slated for review. Is there a possibility to sneak in with that one?
ReplyDeleteYes, we (by that I mean lovers of classic movies) know that 1939 is a bonanza year for us. And I appreciate what you're doing and I'm awed by all the wonderful classic movie blogs out there. But can I just ask what happened to the movies that were left off the list? What happened to Ninotchka, Goodbye Mr. Chips, Babes in Arms, Beau Geste, Young Mr. Lincoln, Bachelor Mother and Drums Along the Mohawk, to name some of the nominated films? Some lesser known but worthy of mention might be Lady of the Tropics, Remember?, Northwest Passage, I Take this Woman, and what about The Shop Around the Corner and The Roaring Twenties. And don't forget three Andy Hardy films and three Nancy Drew's. I know there were many, many movies made but just wondered how these got missed?
ReplyDeleteKevyn, to participate in the blogathon, you need to be a member of the CMBA. At the top of the sidebar to the right, there's a link that will take to the membership guidelines.
ReplyDeleteathomeinrome, with 36 of our members participating in the blogathon, there was no way to cover all the great movies released in 1939. Many of the films you mentioned have been reviewed already by our members, so I think that's why you see some of the lesser-known classics being covered.
ReplyDeleteI would have adored to have participated in this, but sadly my blog isn't quite up to CMBLA standards. (One day!!) No matter, this roster is marvelous and the posts I've read have been fantastic! It's going to be a fabulous three days-- thanks so much for choosing the salivating topic of 1939 for a Blogathon! It is truly a classic movie lover's playground!
ReplyDeleteJust took care of my entry, on "Made For Each Other":
