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.” Simply send your submissions to classicchops@gmail.com by July 12 at 6:00pm EST…and any questions, comments, suggestions and blueberry pancakes should be addressed to that same e-mail address as well.

Alex at Korova Theatre Presents came up with the nifty idea that each month Classic Chops should do a “theme-oriented” post—namely, accepting links from reviews and posts on movies with a common theme. I like the idea. I’m excited to be a part of it. And so this July 27, Classic Chops will feature submissions of reviews on classic films that contain memorable dream sequences. There’s no shortage of movies to write about: The Manchurian Candidate, Vertigo, Modern Times, Spellbound—these are just a few ideas to jog your cinematic memories. If you’ve written something in the past, let me hear from you—just send an e-mail to the usual address...but be sure you put “Classic Chops: Dreamscape Edition” in the header so I can tell it apart from the usual submissions. The deadline for all "Dreamscape" submissions will be July 26 at 6:00pm EST.

As always…until next time…see you at the movies!
