THE APRIL SHOWERS BLOGATHON – Day 1 Recap

Ready for some fascinating blogs about movies with inclement weather? Well, don’t just stand out there in the rain! Come in and dry off as we present

 

Only three of our many blogathon participants have thus far submitted their entries — maybe the rest got caught in the rain! We’ll hope for the best in the next couple of days. In the meantime, here are some good reads for you. (Click on each blog’s name to read their individual entries.)

Caftan Woman appreciates the sight of Alan Ladd trudging through the rain to save the day in the classic Western Shane.

The Midnite Drive-In notes that the futuristic thriller Blade Runner is soaked through with rain from start to finish.

Charlene’s (Mostly) Classic Movie Reviews feels for how often Forrest Gump gets rained on in life.

And yours truly offers the rainy and oddly juxtaposed double feature of Buster Keaton’s silent short subject One Week and the musical cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Keep checking back with us over the next two days. We still have a dozen blogathon entries waiting in the wings!
