> [@Bayaker](#): > > I could easily fill out the category with silent movies. How many points would I get? So could I. Heck, could fill them all up with just films of Lillian Gish, to whom I wrote the one and only fan letter I’ve ever written (when I was 17)-- _and she answered_. Totally personal answer, on non-standard-sized stationary, so it wasn’t computer-generated, not in 1984. Plus, there’s a place where a typo is corrected with correction paper, and she signed it herself, with a ballpoint, so you can see it wasn’t a stamp. ---
