We welcome guest contributors for this feature, anyone can contribute a Film Appreciation article at any time. The only hard rule: keep it positive. Don't use your love for one film to tear another film down, just talk about the movie you enjoy. Length of the articles vary, we try to aim for at least a page and a half.
Everyone has different perspectives, memories, and ways of writing, so we will even accept Film Appreciation submissions for movies that already have Appreciation articles devoted to them.
