That’s it! The final spots have been filled and we now have the roll call of the 20 entries for the ‘Decades’ blogathon being hosted by myself and Tom over at Digital Shortbread!

As you can see from the list below, there’s a wide range of entries covering all genres that – I’m delighted to say – go back 100 years. Personally speaking, that’s exactly what I wanted to see when I first thought about doing this blogathon and I’m really looking forward to getting this underway.

Thanks so much to everyone for their interest and sorry to anyone who has missed out on this occasion. There’s always next year when we can possibly run this again and feature movies released in the sixth year of the decade – there are plenty I’d like to see on that list!

So here’s the full list:

1. Movies Silently – The Taking Of Luke McVane (1915)

18. Drew’s Movie Reviews – Tommy Boy (1995)
19. Committed to Celluloid – Casino (1995)
20. Digital Shortbread – Batman Begins (2005)

Now that we have our list, we’ll be aiming to start the blogathon on Monday, 18 May and will post one review each on our sites (10 on this site and 10 on Digital Shortbread). We’ll make sure to flag up each other’s daily posts to ensure every review on the list gets plenty of exposure.

Thanks again to everyone who’s taking part in what’s sure to be a great blogathon. See you on the 18th!
