List of all the movies discussed or mentioned in this documentary plus the top box office films for the year. Those with a 1981 release year didn’t get released in the US until 1982 (Road Warrior, Das Boot, etc). Only movie not listed is “Q” because the list won’t accept the prompt for this single character title.
As of March 30, 2025 I’ve logged 55 out of 100. Got some movie watching to do!
