Wise doctor speaks the truth, kemosabe. “Help me out here, people…I can’t do this alone!”
Classic Chops enthusiastically welcomes any essay or post you’ve composed on a film classic—and even though I originally set the criterion at films released in 1965 and before, I have “cheated” a little and included films after that date that I don’t think too many people would dispute are “classics.” If you’ve submitted a link to me and you haven’t seen it included yet—please don’t be discouraged. I don’t intend to leave anybody out—chances are it’s “in the queue.” Just remember, send your submissions to classicchops@gmail.com by next Tuesday (August 17) at 6:00pm EDT…and any questions, comments, suggestions and closeout specials should be addressed to that same e-mail address as well. Until next time…see you at the movies!
