For the LOVE of FiLM : A #MTOS Event post thumbnail image

I love film, in case the website name didn’t give you a hint.  Have done for pretty much the majority of my life.  I’m pretty sure that all of you folk out there are somewhat fans (unless you are getting involved in #MTOS for purely ironic reasons – hey, I’m not going to judge).  But just how much have they shaped us, moulded us, and made us who we are?  How do we all prefer to indulge our love?

This week’s #MTOS will focus around our passion for movies, probing with questions to get us to open up about what it is that draws us in so much.  This was a subject that could quite easily have been split into 30 questions, digging down into different aspects of the movie watching experience (and maybe one day we will return to this topic for further analysis), but in the meantime, let’s bask in the joy of movies this coming Sunday evening.

As usual, follow @filmfileuk on Twitter, or track the #MTOS from 8pm BST (that’s British Summer Time for those wondering) and tweet along with us for an hour and a half.

Q2: Possibly the same answer for some of you, but what film is your go-to film when you need something to cheer you up or just make you feel good?  Why this film?

Q3: Netflix films get a bad rep, with even Spielberg weighing in to say they shouldn’t be contenders for Oscars.  Is he right, or are all films equally deserving?
