Good news, everyone! We’re back with another edition of “Classic Chops” … check them out after the jump!
Classic Chops enthusiastically welcomes any essay or post you’ve composed on a film classic—and even though Ivan originally set the criterion at films released in 1965 and before, we have “cheated” a little and included films after that date that we don’t think too many people would dispute are “classics.” Simply send your submissions to classicchops@gmail.com by October 9th at 6:00pm EDT…and any questions, comments, suggestions and unwanted curtain rods should be addressed to that same e-mail address as well.
Next Week!For the month of October our theme is Horror Classic Films. You can submit these entries until October 2nd at 6:00pm EDT.
