Writers/Founders
I just wanted to thank you for this timeline. I’m writing a book on film–posting the first draft as a blog–and this is helping quite a bit.
The book is in the form of a diary, with a single diarist, and his movie-going experiences from the beginning of cinema to the present. While I’ve used a number of sources–print and online–your timeline brings together films from different countries, which is exactly what I’ve been looking for.
I’m picking 3-6 films per year, with certain restrictions: the movie must have had a U.S. release (my diarist appears to be living in NYC, so he’s been able to see at least some international films), and they need to be available on Netflix (for the benefit of both myself–naturally–and any readers).
I’m in the 1940s right now, and in my efforts to place the films in their proper order–and, again, to garner a wide sampling of films–your site is a godsend. Thanks again–and I’ll be sure to wander to other portions of your site, which after a quick glance looks like my kinda place. Have a good one.
