Welcome to Cheryl's Movie Backlot!
As we wait for Keanu's next movie release (tick, tock, tick, tock), why not share our collective thoughts and memories about his previous releases? Keanu-based Internet websites are an informal oasis for fans to "confer, converse, and hobnob" with fellow Keanu wizards. But, as in life, it's nice to go formal once in awhile. Hence, the concept of the Movie Backlot was born.Hopefully, each of the following back stories will give fans a chance to think about the movie showcased and an excuse to watch it again.
And, hopefully, each will generate a "plethora" of responses, adding new insights and deepening our appreciation for our own "Keanu Classic Movie Channel."So sit back and enjoy our own version of "Reel Talk" as we explore together Keanu's eclectic film legacy.

I'd like to thank Cheryl for all her research and insights into Keanu's filmography and for allowing me to archive them here.
