"Who are you really, and what were you before?" -- Humphrey Bogart, Casablanca

Posted by Michael and Laurel at 4/1/2008 10:07 AM and is filed under Flickipedia,Invitation to Comment

Like our book, this website is intended as a conversation -- we'd like therefore to invite any and all to post comments pertaining to what movies they watch or would like to see in connection with their life occasions, holidays, milestones, moods, ordeals and whims. For example, what movies best celebrate opening day? What did you watch on Easter or what will you watch on Passover? What movie, after a long and doleful winter, sings the ballad of springtime in your house? What would you recommend -- or not recommend! -- for Mother's Day? Graduations approach -- what will you watch? What film best summons memories of high school or college for you?

Feel free as well to ask us for help if you're stuck or tired of the same-old go-to classics. You comment, and we'll post them as entries. Let the discussion commence!

    I love FLICKIPEDIA! And sure, my family is always looking for new movies to watch that go with the season, like a good wine. Your "Opening Day" section is terrific, but here's a few you missed, recently on TCM: the Ring Lardner baseball comedies starring Joe E. Brown, Alibi Ike and Elmer the Great. Both use the Chicago Cubs of the day!

      Good catch! The real players in those movies aren't just Cubs, but Browns, Dodgers, etc.; the cast list on IMDB includes Jim Thorpe, Bob Meusel and Cedric Durst! And they're funny.

      Certainly a good prime for dining out... But more "French" than French, right?

    Love the gray British movies from the 60s in the fall -- The Pumpkin Eater is a great one. And Room at the Top.

    A terrific baseball movie Flickipedia has overlooked: A League of Her Own! Or is it left out for reasons of your own?

      It's a salient point -- we did leave out A League of Her Own for our own, largely critical reasons. Our book could only touch on what we saw as the imperative choices for each occasion. But in the dialogue here, anything can happen, and any devotion can be exhalted. If only we could be sold on the notion that A League of Her Own deserves a reevaluation...
