Looks like the blogathon was a success. I’m sorry I had to back out so suddenly.
If you end up being able to do your review eventually, I will add it to this final post for future readers to see.
It was a pleasure to have contributed!
I’ve read a lot of great reviews this week. And still have plenty more to comb through. I’m also glad I got to participate. Thanks for hosting such a great event.
I’m still working my way through reading and commenting on all of them as well. Will take some time, I’m sure. So many great bloggers participated!
This was an amazing blogathon, Todd.
One thing that surprised me about 1984 was the number of films that were about or payed homage to classic films. It seems like every classic movie blogger who participated chose this type of movie – and there were several released in this year to choose from. That was a wonderful, unexpected surprise.
It’s been amazing to be a part of such a big event, and I’m so glad to see it’s been such a success!
