Dear Fellow Journalers,

A film diary is a personal journey. Why? Films are full of life – characters (real or imagined) with thoughts and feelings, actions, desires and don’t forget the theme and the surroundings. Films can change a life (ie: Pay it Forward, Bridge on the River Kwai, or God Father). I’m not sure why I put the last film except guys seem to like quoting from that movie, for some reason! The films above are all different, yet 2 portray real people and all make you think. See links:

“Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.”

Ingmar Bergman

Not long ago I started a Movie Journal

Dear Fellow Journalers,

I was once asked, during a team-building meeting, what my favorite movie was. The question stymied me. I had/have so many favorite movies – one that I know the dialog before the actor(s) speak. I’m sure you do too.

Years ago, during the VHS days of television, we used to keep track of what we taped but as they say “life got in the way” and we forgot to mark the contents on the boxes but then those boxes got replaced by DVD’s! Still the problem remained- what did we have, were the movies destined to become favorites and why??

This journal type is a mixture of memories, fun and knowledge. Knowledge? Yup. Your favorite movie is your favorite movie because of several factors: action, drama, comedy and so on. What intrigued you the first time you watched ” Gone with the Wind?” Were you a Civil War buff or someone who loved romance movies? Did watching the movie make you want to learn more?

Getting ready to make popcorn,
