November 5th

Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder, treason and plot,
I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.




Guy Fawkes (13 April 1570 – 31 January 1606), was a member of a group of English Roman Catholics who attempted to carry out the Gunpowder Plot, an attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill King James I of England, to destroy Protestant rule by killing the Protestant aristocracy, on 5 November 1605.

Movies which use November 5th as a pivital date:


  • Top Gun - Maverick's Father's plane is shot down on this date

  • Back to the Future - Nov 5, 1955 is the date Marty goes to back in time

  • V For Vendetta - obviously for Guy Fawkes reference of movie



    Famous People Born on this date:
    Bryan Adams, Art Garfunkel, Paul Simon, Vivien Liegh, Roy Rogers...

    It also happens to be...MY BIRTHDAY!!!! :)
    Me and Fudge..."He's such a good boy!"
