Valentino Day, handwritten page 1

23rd August 2026 - Valentino Day

I just found out, that today is Valentino Day. I didn't know that was a thing. What a crazy coincidence that the last Silent Movies portrait that I shared, was the Rudolph Valentino one.

It is a day to commemorate his life. A good day to watch some of his films, like:

- The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1921)
- The Sheik (1921)
- The Eagle (1925)

But it's also a good day to celebrate the era of silent movies, and to show them some love. So, why not see if you can (find - forgot this word in my handwritten note) a nice old classic and sit back to enjoy all the drama, the humour, and the text cards, of a time most people never think about? There's some real MAGIC there.
