It is not uncommon for grandkids to find different interesting things in their grandparents’ collection. A post about one such find is now going viral online. Twitter user AK shared a few images on the micro-blogging site from his granddad’s journal that is filled with different movie names. Turns out, the diary has the names of all the films that his granddad has ever watched.
“Long long ago, my grandfather has created his own version of Letterboxd to keep record of the movies he had watched. I’m awestruck by the fact that he’s watched Hitchcock and James Bond films in theatres,” he tweeted and shared a picture. Letterboxd is a social networking service launched in 2011 where people interact about films.
The Twitter user shared another picture from his granddad’s journal and wrote, “This is insane. Apparently, Anbe Vaa (1966) was inspired from Come September (1961) and my grandfather had watched both the films in theatres.”
