Movies of a Lifetime

by Chockys • Created 2 years ago • Modified 7 hours ago
On 1997 I created a Word document to write down of the movies and shorts I watched in cinema. It has survived several PCs and I continue updating it every time I back to the cinema, hence the accuracy of the data. This is the list of these movies I've seen on theater on my life (cinema was so much cheaper at 80s, 90s and early 2000s), indicating date and place, including outdoor cinemas and special events, as my age when I watched them as extra. Also there are a few terms coined by me:
-"A Hanks": at late 90s, in the Spanish cinema magazine "Imágenes de Actualidad" (Imágenes, for short) existed a little section to read real-life quotes from actors, actresses and directors. Once I read one attributed to Tom Hanks (rough translation): «A good movie is the one that you leave the cinema telling yourself "thank God for have watching it"». Leaving aside the religious reference, this is how I call a movie that it makes say to me "thank for have watching it" after I leave the cinema.
-"A Heston": it refers when I watch a movie in an empty cinema, and I am the only one viewer. The name comes from The Omega Man (1971), when Charlton Heston's character Robert Neville is in an empty cinema watching Woodstock (1970).
-Doublet: two movies watched in the same day.
