It's film festival season! While Sundance was in January, the Tribeca Film Festival is currently underway and the Cannes Film Fest starts next month. But there's a little unknown film fest that I wish I had thought of! It's called "KeanuCon" and it's held in Glasgow, Scotland.

I feel like it's high time that good-guy Keanu Reeves got his own celebration. The film fest will feature four decades of Keanu's career! It'll include:

One Step Away (Robert Fortier, 1985)
Permanent Record (Marisa Silver, 1988)
My Own Private Idaho (Gus Van Sant, 1991)
Speed (Jan de Bont, 1994)
The Matrix (Lana Wachowski, Lilly Wachowski, 1999)
John Wick (Chad Stahelski, David Leitch, 2014)
Man of Tai Chi (Keanu Reeves, 2013)
Constantine (Francis Lawrence, 2005)
Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (Stephen Herek, 1989)
Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey (Peter Hewitt, 1991)
Destination Wedding (Victor Levin, 2019)

If you're like me, you're probably thinking "Where the hell is Dracula?!" Yeah, it has some greats like The Matrix, John Wick and of course the iconic Bill & Ted movies. But where is Point Break? Or, River's Edge?!  Let's start over. I'd definitely have Speed, The Matrix, John Wick, Constantine and both Bill & Ted's, but also, here's movies I'd use:

River's Edge (Tim Hunter, 1987)
Point Break (Katheryn Bigelow, 1991)
The Devil's Advocate (Taylor Hackford, 1997)
A Walk in the Clouds (Alfonso Arau, 1995)
The Replacements (Howard Deutch, 2000)
Something's Gotta Give (Nancy Meyers, 2003)

And an honorable mention: Parenthood (Ron Howard, 1989) His character really is enough to make you love him.
