First of all, THANK YOU. I thought I would get two or three replies if I was lucky, but no. I got FIFTEEN. (Update: Twenty.) It’s incredible and thank you so much. I hope you all had as much fun putting your posts together as I did reading them.

Requiem For A Dream gets the most mentions – 2 in Fear and 3 in Disgust. Compliance gets 2 in Disgust and 1 in Fear. Grave Of The Fireflies, The Ox-Bow Incident, The Passion Of The Christ, Poltergeist,Sinister, and Toy Story 3 all get two mentions. (It’s telling that the only other Pixar film to appear in the blogathon {Toy Story 3} is in the Sadness category.)
Even If I don’t agree with all the choices, just the fact that so many people agreed to participate in this blogathon is amazing. Thank you so much and keep reading this blog, because I have a lot planned in the upcoming weeks.
Oh, and for those of you who are interested, here are my personal picks.
Aw man, I didn’t read the deadline and thought I had a few more days. 😦 Oh well. Great work setting this up, Conman! Since I wasn’t able to get in on it, here are my picks:
Joy: Star Wars: Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
Sadness: Toy Story 3
Fear: Insidious
Anger: Rage
Disgust: Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
You can still post your thing if you want, I’ll have to update this post but I can do it.
Thanks! It probably won’t be until a few days but I’ll get to it as soon as I can.
So happy you had such a nice turnout Connor!
I’m so glad I found the time to do this Connor, (almost didn’t).
Such a wonderful idea and It’s so telling when there are so many different opinions as to which movie instills in each of us different emotions.
Why am I not surprised at all that MMWE was ur joy! 🙂
cant wait to see what u have planned in the coming weeks…
Reblogged this on and commented:

Hey Conman, just got wind of this amazing idea of a blogathon through Drew of Drew Reviews Movies. I understand the deadline for submissions has passed, but I was just wondering if you wouldn’t mind if I put up a post about it on my site and linked back to this page? The concept is just too cool for me to not do something. Let me know!
Thanks,
Tom
Hey, be my guest. I’m flattered that so many people want to participate in the blogathon. I always try to put a little kindness in the world, so I say, ‘Go for it!’.
Excellent! Thanks, it should be posted tomorrow afternoon. Maybe even late tonight if I can think quick. 🙂 Thanks for having me.
Oops, perhaps my entry exceeds the deadline. Sorry about that.
I had it in my blog, but I forget whether I had posted it on your original post or not. Lol.
After all, it’s a great job, man!
