This great card came to me from Taiwan.  Chen Syuan wrote a nice note on the back so I like it!

United States - Movie Card

April 26, 2019

Leisa sent this cool movie card to me from Texas in the US.  She typed a nice note on the back, with an explanation for the typing, so it was a great card to receive.

Leisa typed;

Howdy,

That's a Texas style hello! My name is Leisa and I live in a small town in this big state. I'm a retired nurse who loves to watch movies. I love "Inn of Sixth Happiness" but you just got to love "Tremors" too!  Sorry for the typed message, I've injured my hand. I always check favorite lists to see if I have a card that might be there. I had this "Hobbit" card that's the same style you have on favorite just a different character. I got it online but didn't know about the strange backs. Can't figure out what language this is but think the style is cool! Hope you like the card.


I do like the card very much and I think the language on the front is Elvish. It has a great couple of stamps too.

The Hobbit, well one of the movies anyway.

Great Sally Ride stamp, and I like the Love stamp as well.

Poland - Movie Related

This great card came to me with a great discussion of movies on the back, lovely stamps and was almost a perfect card for me.  I'm not a fan of Taxi Driver, although I do know how influential the film was and is.  However, I'm always there for another movie fan!

Dear Helen!

I like a lot of different films and it would be difficult to point to my favourite. Sometimes the subject moves me, ("Into the Wild"), sometimes music ("Three Colours: Blue") or actors ("The Graduate") or atmosphere ("Blade Runner"). I really like artistic film posters however - I am sending you a postcard with one work of Polish School of Posters. The original poster can be bought for $1000!

All the best for you!

Look at all of these cool stamps on the card.  I think they are amazing!

Eva sent this cool antique style of card to me and I really like it.  She wrote a lot on the back of the card too which is even better.

She wrote:

Hello Helen! My name is Eva and I'm a student from Germany. I live in the rather small town Bottrop of which you can see some vintage pictures on the card. I go to university in the bigger town Essen right next to Bottrop, and I love it.

All the best!
