Description:

In this swap, you'll have one partner and will send an A to Z Movie Library list to him/her. The A to Z list can be comprised of actors or movies or a combination of the two.

UPDATE: Thanks to the comments of @Swan & @hibiscus I'm updating this to include not only movies you own, but all of those that you've seen or remember or love. If you own the movie, that's fine, too.

This way, your partner will get an idea of your movie taste from your list and maybe find some new movies for themselves!

@ArtyBeth3 has been so kind as to let me use her sticker idea to make this a little more fun. Here's how it will work:

*Get yourself a set of alphabet stickers (A to Z). You can use all from one set, or you can mix it up and use different ones.

*Stick the letter “A” down on a piece of paper and next to it add an actor or movie from your library, noting which of the two that it is. You can write your list by hand, use a typewriter, or the computer. An example for "A" would be "All About Eve (movie)"

*Then move on to “B.” "Bill Murray (actor)"

*Continue on with each letter until you have finished the whole alphabet.

*It's up to you whether you want to use the first or last name of the actor for the letter (Bill Murray could be "M" or "B"), and you can use a movie like The Birds as "B" or The Sting as "S."

Feel free to share as many actors or movies as you would like for each letter, meaning if you want to share more than one, go for it. You can also put a note about each if you would like (i.e. "My favorite movie" or "I once met this actor")

Also feel free to be creative and add other decorations to the letter and the envelope.

Since this swap isn't dependent upon reading our partner's profile, we can start it early if we want to :).

Most of all, let's have fun sharing things about us so our partner can get to know us better.

Thanks again for @ArtyBeth3 for most of this!

I don't have many movies in my personal library and those few are only accidental. Most movies are on my TiVo and the best ones are probably those that are not there anymore, because I've watched them and deleted them to make space for more.

I agree... with swan..i'd like to join but I am not a collector...I use Netflix and tv and actual movie theaters...and my "list" of favorites is mainly in my mind/memory... like the movie "z" and that actress of silent and early talkies..zazu pitts...if we can use our memories I'd like to join..but it's still a great idea...my sister has tons of old vcr tapes and new dvds...she's a real collector

@Swan & @hibiscus thanks for the feedback! i'll update the swap to be more general, not just movies in your libraries but ones you've seen or your favorites.

Cool. I'm going to start a list to see if I can come up with enough before signing up.
