| Just letting everyone know that I've created a new Rocky accolade that includes Rocky Balboa. I sent a message to the creator of the original accolade and I'll delete this new one if he ever updates the old one, but he hasn't been active here for a year so I'm not sure if that will ever happen. |

As noted in Josh The Cat's Sticky Accolade posting of all our accolades, I announced I've been working on achieving at least one accolade from everyone who's posted in the thread.
I highly recommend this.  First of all it's a great way to expand one's familiarity with films that have appealed to others, and, in a funny way, get to know something about them, too If you're into that kind of thing, it's really fun!
So far -- amid the other 76 accs in my trophy cabinet - I've got a piece of these lovely FWFRers who've posted in Josh's thread -- and many thanks to the MERPs for helping 
So, many thanks to the following for contributing to my proscrastination problem ... and if you're not here, rest assured, you're in my pending pile!

| Good idea, Bafta. While I've got a good deal of accolades, I will take a look at that thread and choose some I haven't gotten to work on. Although I mostly work on accolades that just show up in my list, or those that I take a shine to (like Sal's Bronte accolade). |

Yes, I have submitted at least one review and am now at the mercy of the MERPs! I have faith that they'll get to it as soon as they can.

I'm unsure of the accolade concept.
Would a "FWFT -- Four Word Film Title" be an accolade?

Hi Bernie, welcome back to FWFR and welcome to the fourum.
Yes, a list of FWFT's would be an accolade, but a very big one and would take a while to put together. Unless you just include all the movies with the word "Four" in the title. Evil Giraffe started it here, but it needs updating.
An accolade is just a way of grouping movies together under a particular theme (common actor, director, word in title etc) to give people an award to chase, purely for their own satisfaction, or to act as an inspiration for writing reviews. You will find any accolades that you have won by clicking on "my accolades" when you visit your own reviews page and When you visit any given film page you will find a list of accolades containing that movie on the left hand side of the page. Click on one of the links and you'll find all the movies in that accolade.
For an idea of the sort of thing that people use as inspiration for accolades visit the FWFRer's accolade collections thread.
Folks, check Bernie's page for some fine reviews.
EDIT: link to Bernie's page corrected. Thanks, Baffy. |

Presumably the same thing happens in most of them, but I was thinking of the main one (1960). |

Ah, that would explain my confusion ... I've always thought of the 1940 version as "the main one" mainly because that's the one I know ... and which, after a quick bit of net-search reveals that not only is the baby absent from Disney's version, but there's no side-bar plot with grandpa, kid, and pirates.
But Thanks again, because the Disney version should definitely be included in my acc ... and it will be pronto
