This started as a personal indulgence but with the support of a lot of people, the blog has become a bit of a clearing house for thoughts about cinephilia from all points. My thanks therefore to all the contributors who have selflessly supported all this activity without thought of recompense beyond the sheer joy of getting messages across about the magic of the cinema. Here's what I think is the complete list.

Colin Bennett, Max Berghouse, Rod Bishop, Noel Bjorndahl, Wendy Borchers, Michael Campi, Gloria Chalmers, Ben Cho, Eddie Cockrell,  John Conomos, Anne Demy-Geroe, Alan Fish (RIP), Kiki Fung, Stephen Gaunson, Ben Gibson,  Bill Hannan, David Hare, Paul Harris, Shaun Heenan, Bruce Hodsdon, Peter Hourigan, Clyde Jeavons, Tom Jeffrey, Tina Kaufman, Michael Loebenstein, Neil McGlone, Adrienne McKibbins, Adrian Martin, Scott Murray, Barrie Pattison, Tony Rayns, Graham Shirley, David Stratton, Simon Taaffe, Quentin Turnour, and  Storry Walton 

Have a nice day folks and enjoy a movie
