Topic: This day in film
Michael noted on Twitter yesterday that Nov 5, 1955 is the day Doc Brown fell off his toilet and came up with the idea for the flux capacitor. I thought it would be great to have a whole list of important dates in movies. I've done a quick search and can't find much beyond doomsday dates.
If anyone knows of a big archive or a Twitter feed, I'd be grateful.
If NOT, I'm interested in using this as a place to point out such dates for the purpose of creating a scheduled Twitter feed with HootSuite or something.
I'm thinking it would take the form:
