Greetings cinephiles!
I am bringing to you a new awesome challenge, a challenge for all those who love movies, love to write about movies and are not afraid to show it! Of course, being me, I added a twist for some extra-fun!
So, here is what you have to do in order to participate in the contest:
TO DO*:
- first, go here , now, select the year you were born, assuming you are not born in 1873, you wont have a problem finding it.

- you'll see all the movies and series released that year, in order of popularity.

- please ignore the TV series and find THE MOST POPULAR MOVIE RELEASED ON YOUR BIRTHDAY,in USA, for example, in my case, I scrolled down and this is the most popular movie released on my birthday:

* I picked IMDB because its popularity, if you can't find the exact date there, feel free to find it from any other source. If for some reason there was no movie released on your exact birthday, pick the most popular released in the month and year of your birth.
RULES:
watch or re-watch your b'day movie
write a review, now, you don't have to be a major movie critique in order to write a nice review of the movie. Here is a nice example of a movie review by @condra , Nazi Punks, Fuck Off! - My Green Room Review
include in the review a few lines about your favorite scene and why it's your favorite
tell us, how or if, it relates to anything in your life, even if by coincidence like in my case (Lethal Weapon 2, i have a NBK (Natural Born Killer) tattooed on my arm)
post it on your blog with the title "My b'day movie review - YourMovieTitle", use #bdaymoviereview and #moviereview tags and link it below in the comments.
all entries must be submitted before Friday 16th Of Sembtember 2016, 11:59 pm UTC.
EXTRA RULES:
The review must be original, please refrain from copy/paste. As stated above, you don't have to be an established movie critique in order to write a few lines about it. You just need to have an opinion, sure, you can write like a critique, or just rant about it. In other words, write in your voice and style!
You can use any formatting, include pics, videos or gifs.
PRIZES
I am giving away 75 SBD, plus 50% of whatever SBD this post makes, split in 3 equal prizes
1st Prize: picked by 3 judges
2nd Prize: random extraction*
3rd Prize: "the last entry"**
*each entry will receive a number, the extraction of that number will be recorded and post it in the winner announcement post (all entries are eligible except the one picked by the judges for the 1st prize)
**the last entry before the specified time above, wins the 3rd prize (except if it's the one picked for the 1st or 2nd prize)
JUDGING
In order to make it fair for everyone, I decided to ignore the votes received on your entries, as well as the payout. Soooo, we have 3 amazing judges for one of your prize:
| @smooth | @condra | @razvanelulmarin |
Please allow the judges 24-48 hours to go trough all the entries and choose. Winners will be announced as soon as they decide.
I wish you all good luck and don't forget to have fun! Enjoy your movies!
Don't forget to follow me for updates!
Great initiative and awesome contest! :) Would love to participate in it.
One question though: Can we choose another movie which also is popular instead of the most popular one? I have watched many movies in my day and would love to re-watch one of them and write a review of it after, but am kinda picky and wouldn't wanna write about: http://www.imdb.com/search/title?release_date=1988&sort=moviemeter,asc
the movie Coming to America ;P
Was the Coming to America released on your b'day ? :) The most popular doesnt mean it has to be the first in the list...i had to scroll down to find mine...
... trick to save time on scrolling .... modify following link to search for day you are interested in:
http://www.imdb.com/search/title?release_date=1999-12-30
I'm using "http://playback.fm/birthday-movie". Since IMDB cannot filter by specific dates and popularity at the same time. (I dont feel like browsing 18400+
titles to find the one that matches my birthday)
OMFG there's not way I'm watching this... Not even if you ensure me the 1st place. Lol
Very useful tool for this contest.
Aahhahahaahh oh come on !!! It's not that bad!!
... of course IMDB can filter down to the day, example:
http://www.imdb.com/search/title?release_date=1999-12-30
... or down to the month, if you prefer
http://www.imdb.com/search/title?release_date=1999-12
Great idea!
Thank you :) I hope i will see your link with a review in the comments :P
Yes, most likely :-)
Yay, here is my entry! It was hard work and lots of fun to create. Hope you like it ;-)
Can't find mine. Guess they didn't feel like dating the movies on stone tablets.
Ahahhahahahaha omg !!! No comment ...go review The Flinstones!
I found the most close to my year... even If I would have loved to review HellRaiser, but darn that movie is been released in september, I won't disappoint you with the movie that is close to my birthday ;)
I am pretty sure you can find one released on your b'day...the point of this contest is to "push" people into discovering older movies...and who knows , they might surprise you.
the movie i found( and told you about) it's 2 days after my birth so It's pretty much ok :P
Yup, good luck :)
Lethal Weapon 2? ... yes, that explains ... a lot :)
Delighted to be involved with this. Looking forward to reading these reviews!
Yes Judge! Thank you for accepting :)
The one I picked to review is something I've seen before, but it's on Youtube for free in it's entirety. Actually a pretty good movie to review here on Steemit. Great idea.
As long as the movie was released on your b'day go for it! I can't wait to see your post with the review...just don't forget to link it here and add the tags.
1981 : Raiders of the Lost Ark! What better opportunity to binge on that gem again :) I mean... it's not like 2016 has given us anything better... or 2015 for that matter, or 2014, 201.....etc
I can't wait to read your review :) Enjoy the movie
Good thinking on this!
Thank you :)
