THE 3RD ANNIVERSARY OF "FRIDAY MOVIE SUGGESTION NIGHT"! (PART 1)

Air Date: 12:00 AM, September 15, 2005: Wow! Could it really be that 3 years ago tonight, on a melancholy evening (which is how I felt stuck in Cincinnati at the time) I "lit a candle and cursed the darkness" to launch a feature on this BLOG Page called "Friday Movie Suggestion Night"? Many films are missing from the 2006 season (some I recovered this afternoon and posted below). But then, "What happens here on Thursdays at 12 Midnight, stays here on Thursdays at 12 Midnight"...Did you buy that? Not really?. Actually, I thought it sounded compelling. But I digress... Three-years on now! Geez!

In a year that witnessed my hosting the National Parkinson Foundation Gala in Florida, my 1,000th BLOG Post, at least two "firsts" for FMSN and a move across 6 states to Arizona, we will be now be shifting into high gear in these final 4 months of the 2008. I can't thank you enough for all of your comments and to those brave souls who rallied me to move the Feature back a day to use Net Flix and follow along on what Orson Welles once called "that lonely, rocky road". I didn't figure out the Net Flix part for a while, but hey! It's certainly never boring around here. And I'm putting final touches on the schedule for next year. Yes, it's going to be amazing! So, let's have a colorful look at where we've been with so many films on this great journey of ours in no particular order...
