5000 visits,
5000 favorite seconds from the world of film
A few days back the number of visits to Word M World reached 5000.
As I looked at this number, it fascinated me. 5000.
I found it very beautiful. It ought to be paid a tribute, I figured. And the word m world way of celebrating both the symbols 5000 and the quantity represented by these has been to collect my favorite five thousand seconds from the world of fabulous film.
Here it goes, my hall of fame of film
