CMBA 2019 FALL BLOGATHON
Wednesday, August 14, 2019 · by Classic Movie Blog Association
Hello Everyone,
It's still summer, but the fall season is coming soon and with it comes the CMBA Fall Blogathon. This year is special as we celebrate the organization’s 10th anniversary! The CMBA is the brainchild of founding father Rick Armstrong (thank you, Rick!). In celebration, our subject this time around is anniversaries. Anniversaries of all kinds: Wedding, job, film directors, film anniversaries, for example, the twenty-fifth anniversary of Pulp Fiction (in five-year increments only 15, 20, 25, 30, etc.). Another example would be the anniversary of acting teams: Gable and Lombard, Laurel and Hardy, etc. (any anniversary year is acceptable). Be creative. If you’re not sure, ask!
Just a few rules. Only one film, acting team, director, etc.
If a film is taken or an acting team you will be notified to make another
selection.
Join us for The Anniversary Blogathon. The dates are Oct. 15th through Oct 18th.
Provide me with your selection and the date that you would
like. Date selected may be subject to change if we need to balance
out the activity.

Could I write about the 1994 version of Little Women for its 25th anniversary? I'll take October 17th, but any date is fine, really. My blog is Cinematic Scribblings: https://cinematicscribblings.wordpress.com/ Thank you!
The 15th will be fine (any day, really) for a tribute Kurosawa's Stray Dog on its 70th anniversary.
I cannot believe Pulp Fiction is 25 years old.. Can still remember getting blown away by it and it feels like yesterday
Put me down for 1979, writing about 4 films turning 40 this year. I'll post on the Friday. Maddy
Hello! Please put me down for THE GAY DIVORCEE (1934), 85 Years of Astaire and Rogers.

Hi! It looks like my sign-up comment didn't work, but I'd like to do All the King's Men (1949), because it's the 70th anniversary. Would like October 18, if there's room. Thanks!
I'd love to do the anniversary of the Third Man and I'm fine with the 16th since there are less people slotted if that's alright!
