Margaret Perry is hosting a Flash Blogathon this weekend as part of her Cultural Heritage Management course. She asks classic movie lovers to document their classic film heritage and culture. To aid in the task, she has given us a list of items to share--kind of like a scavenger hunt.
If you would like to join in the fun or want to see what others have contributed, visit margaretperry.org for the full scoop.
Classic Reel Girl's #CurateMyLife entry ~
1. DVD collection:
2. VHS collection - Sadly I gave away my extensive collection (almost twenty years in the making) when we moved into our new home. I'm still working on replacing the titles. There is one movie with which I cannot part until it is properly replaced:
...and one I purchased last year for my entry into the Pre-code Blogathon:
3. Favorite DVD:
Not only is Follow the Fleet my fav pairing of Fred and Ginger, I also love the fab cover of this DVD.
4. Favorite VHS - Because it is not available on DVD:
5. Classic film related wall art:
We switch out the poster for the holidays.
