What's a Retro Filmspot?

Filmspots Awards ... but for a year in the past.

It's gonna be a thing.

Something pre-1980, I expect.

Hot dog!

1946 sounds good to me!

Not sure how eligibility shall be determined, but using imdb years, I've seen 8 films from 1946. My ballot will be very boring. I should probably watch My Darling Clementine, though I don't see much else from that year that I feel an urgent desire to catch up with.

I think the hope is that people will watch a lot more than 10ish films from whatever year is selected.

I'm dubious of the existence of >10 movies worth watching in any given year pre-1980. :P
