Description:

I recently took part in the I Love Books swap:) I had so much fun making up my lists. I thought it would be fun to do a movie theme.

This is a letter/list/popcorn or candy swap swap.

Everyone will send

1) a list of their 10 favorite movies and a sentence or 2 (or 3 or 4...) as to why you love each movie on your list.

2) a list of 5 - 10 movies you\'d like to see in the future as well as a sentence or 2 (or 3 or 4...) as to why you want to see it on that list.

3.) This is a swap for movie lovers, please also include either a bag of microwave popcorn or candy:) UNLESS YOU HAVE AN ALLERGY OR DIABETES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT DO NOT POST WHAT KIND OF CANDY OR SPECIALTY POPCORNS (like fat free, etc.)

The letter/lists can be handwritten (make sure it\'s clear to read) or typed.

This swap is international. Newbies welcome. Anyone with a score lower than 4 or more than 2 no sends will be banned. Please contact me before signing up if your score is lower than that.

Great idea! This is going to be so much fun. :)

yarnpie 03/ 6/2007 #

I loved the book swap too, this will be fun - also all the parts saying book up in the description are supposed to say movie? I guess?

user5486 03/ 6/2007 #

Thanks for pointing out the book mistake...Opps...I edited it so it says movies. Hee!

corynvall 03/ 6/2007 #

I'm really looking for this swap :D

user5486 03/ 7/2007 #

Wow! 25 in the first day! Maybe we will make the top ten!

hyperoma 03/31/2007 #

3 swap partners and they'll all be receiving the same list?

user5486 04/ 1/2007 #

Yes, all three partners receive the same list.

slamophile 04/ 2/2007 #

I'm hardly into the 21st century, still barely muddling my way out of the 20th... I wonder, do the movies need to be current ones? I'd hate to bore a partner with 50 year old flicks, but, I really haven't seen the most current ones. Thanks.

cooan 04/ 2/2007 #

I, personally, would love to hear about ANY movies... past or present. I only really got into movies last year and I have been totally junking out on any recommendations since, no matter what generation!

slamophile 04/ 2/2007 #

oh lol - well, thanks for the thumbs up, cooan! :-) I think I will join, then.

user7407 04/ 3/2007 #

joined :)

pinkwhirlitop 04/ 3/2007 #

I adore this! Joined!

But, unfortunately, I don't like popcorn... I feel like a movie-going failure! :P

slamophile 04/ 3/2007 #

like popcorn... I feel like a movie-going failure! :P

Haha, funny, pinkwhirlitop.

pinkwhirlitop 04/ 3/2007 #

:) Thanks!

user5486 04/ 5/2007 #

HI everyone...Sorry in getting back a little late to comments butI just got a new computer and have been trying to get my wireless network set up..

The movies don't have to be current. It is what your favorite movies are and what movies that you want to see. I personally love old movies and would love recommendations for some...I know that my movies to see list some are older ones...

Love, Kimmie

user7276 04/ 6/2007 #

What a GREAT swap idea, I LOVE MOVIES! Can't wait, already making a mental list of some favorites....

YS 04/ 9/2007 #

Just a quick question: What if I cannot find any microwave popcorn in my country to send? What kind of candy should I send then? And is it ok that I replace the popcorn / candy with some other titbits that we usually eat during movies? Thx

user5486 04/10/2007 #

Hi YS,

If you don't have microwave popcorn in your country that is fine. Just send some other yummie snack that will travel okay.

-Kimmie

SheriFaerie 04/13/2007 #

My lists are complete and I've also included 3 of my top 10 favorite movies on DVD for my partners! I had so much fun with this swap! I hope my partners will enjoy my swap as much as I enjoyed making them!:cD

girlonaglide 04/13/2007 #

Please... no candy. If sending popcorn, 94% fat free. If that's too picky, then sugarless gum would be ok. :)

Saor 04/16/2007 #

If you are sending me popcorn please send nothing with MSG (monosodium glutamate) in it - I am allergic to it. Thank you.

user5585 04/16/2007 #

It's not an allergy but I don't have a microwave so I would not be able to make microwave popcorn.

Melissa

yarnpie 04/16/2007 #

Same here, I would not really be able to use microwave popcorn, thanks!

user5782 04/16/2007 #

This is going to be tough because I love so many movies!! Whoa...

jeanland 04/16/2007 #

I'll be sending out my packages first thing tomorrow morning! :)

glolinde 04/24/2007 #

I'm really, really sorry, but I hit I Sent My Items and I don't know what to do! I can't send them out for a little while and I really, really really don't want to get rated down for it. Since this happened, I'm going to send extra stuff. I'm really sorry!

TíaBel 04/26/2007 #

AHayes- I can't wait to see some of these movies. I agree about so much - Robert Altman, The Women, Doris Day, Grindhouse. Great letter!

Retromama 04/26/2007 #

I got a great movie package from someone, not sure. The mailing return address says a David G. on it. Anyhoo, great candy choices! Be sure and see Little Miss Sunshine, a feel good movie!

elizabethofcourse 04/30/2007 #

Marlene, thanks for the sweet package. I enjoyed the Raisinettes very much. From your list, I have seen Babett's Feast and Cinema Paridisio, and Netflix is always trying to get me to watch Children of Heaven. Perhaps, now, I will give it a go. Thanks.

user3457 04/30/2007 #

liesdeschanel 05/ 4/2007 #

Hey Heather I received your list. You had some great picks!

mysterygirl 05/ 5/2007 #

I received from azreader today! Very good lists.

jeanland 05/ 5/2007 #

I've not received from anyone yet... should I start getting concerned? I really wanted to see my partners lists, I really love movies & enjoy getting recommendations for what to watch. What happens if I don't receive anything? What should I do?

yarnpie 05/ 5/2007 #

Jean - I was beginning to wonder too. I got my first one today with no treats. Maybe everyone has school finals like I did :)

yarnpie 05/ 5/2007 #

stephaniepotter - thanks for the list, I've only seen one movie on it. Treats?

jeanland 05/ 7/2007 #

I finally received 1 today from Carolyn Doner - thank you! I've left you a rating!

I still have not received from - gemini73 & veggiemommie...

Saor 05/ 8/2007 #

Got a great package from Tiabel today. Thank you.

mysterygirl 05/ 9/2007 #

Received from all three partners!

user3457 05/ 9/2007 #

Jean Smith, your package was sent on 4/30. Have you received it yet?

jeanland 05/10/2007 #

Hi veggiemommie ~ I just received it today, and.... WOW! You outdid yourself with this awesome package!!! I think we must have very similar tastes in movies! There were some that I either haven't seen in a long time (and was happy to be reminded of) and a few I've never heard of that I'll be watching very soon! And thank you so much for all the wonderful extras! You have totally blown me away! :) A thousand thanks, Jean

jakfrostwife 05/11/2007 #

Ok I received an email from someone that was not suppossed to receive the movie swap from me so I went back and see that I didn't mail them to ANY of the three people that were in this swap (they were suppose to get postcards, what a great package they got!)....you can ask "Jeanne3k" how your items are! LOL....

SO, I'll go out and remail them to my swap people and calk it up to too little sleep!

Simone 05/14/2007 #

mmmmm I thought South African mail was slow. Two of partners have received my packages. That's really great! Now I get to feel what it is like to wait.

Simone 05/16/2007 #

I got all three packages today !!!!!

jeanland 05/17/2007 #

gemini73 ~ I never received anything... Did it maybe get lost in the mail?
