SA:MOU = Self-Assessment: Moving On Up
DA LATEST ROOLZ
1. Look at the top-rank reviews of ANY OF YOUR PAGES. Pick ONE film you think deserves to move up to the next page - as sorted by votes received. This means that even one vote will "move it up." You are urged to say which page from the top you've chosen.
2. Isolate that film* and present the link in this thread.
3. You now have the choice to share with us AN EXPLANATION OF WHY YOU LIKE IT. Not an explanation of the review ... but of WHY YOU LIKE IT.
Who knows, your wish may come true
4. Da Roolz have been altered because far be it from me to insist on tyranny. Clearly some people just don't want to share their explanations of why they like one review in a page of 100, but they still can't resist upping their vote count.
So go on, do whatever you want to.
Honestly, I don't want to be the SA:MOU police and neither do I want to have to read yet another pseudo-explanation that someone likes a pun because it's a pun. I hope some people will play within the spirit of SA:MOU if only because I really like to compare my own assessment of why I like someone's review with its author's.
* It's been covered before how to do this, but here's a step-by-step recap:
1. Go to the page featuring everyone's reviews of your chosen film.
EITHER
2. From the drop-down display options choose My Reviews Only. [this method is ONLY if you have one review for your chosen film]
OR
2. Select Reviewer Name for the page display.
3. Find your own review and count which number it is on the page.
4. Up at the top url display you'll see something like this:
http://www.fwfr.com/display.asp?sort=2&dir=2&id=1698&Mode=&Rows=1&Start=11
5. See where it says Start=11 ... change that numeral to whatever you counted in step 3, and press go.
6. Your new page should now start with your chosen review.
7. NOW, to eliminate all the other reviews still showing, go up to the url display again and see where it says Rows=100.
8. Change that to Rows=1
Your new page should now have only your chosen review displayed. Copy that url and use it as your link for this thread.
HAVE FUN EVERYONE!!

I'm fond of this review 'cuz it's the first for a film I added to the database, and as we discussed last round... I'm fond of the films I Add to the site, especially at such a late date in the evolution.
It's also only the 2nd review I'd had approved for publication.
As usual though, the review itself is nothing worthy of a 'shout from the mountain-tops', though y'all usually prove to be so kind as to ignore that fact...
Without further ado, I present...

Here it is folks. The original, often imitated but never duplicated, Pocketful of Miracles FWFReview. Don't be fooled by cheap imitations.
Pocketful of Miracles is Frank Capra's remake of his 1933 Lady for a Day. In the former, Bette Davis plays Apple Annie. May Robson played her in the original.
The original film inspired a comic strip called Apple Mary which, after the Depression, morphed into Mary Worth, one of the guilty pleasures of my youth. |

I think you've meant this to go into the normal Monday review. 
But I'd love to see your new SA:MOU offering.
Thanks. Another senior's moment. Clicked wrong link. All will be rectified. |

Top of my second page, this one is a particular favourite as it was my first review to be approved.

From somewhere, way down on my bottom pages this review should have gotten more than one vote. May I remind you that the word "coup" means "a seizure of power, rebellion" and is often inaccurately pronounced the same as the word "coop", which means "An enclosure or cage, as for poultry or small animals". The expression "to fly the coop" means "to make a getaway; escape". |

From my 3rd page: I'm fond of this review because it has bittersweet overtones that if only Helen Keller had lived decades later, like Stephen Hawkings she'd have been able to communicate with the use of electronic aids, instead of having to overcome her deaf-blindness in what was at times such a tortuous process.
