Viewing Notes

Weird that I haven’t seen this since I started tallying my movies. Perhaps I did watch it sometime pre-2009 but just don’t have it noted anywhere for logging purposes. Since it has been a while I did include it in my Childhood Movies Project despite having seen it a few times since my original viewing in early 80s.

This is one I’d love to see on the big screen again. I believe the only other time I’ve seen it projected was during college. I get that this is not really a great movie but it is a movie that’s near and dear to me for a variety of reasons of which I won’t go into here. Suffice it to say that I adore this movie. I could probably watch it every month and never tire of it (which is why it’s odd that I haven’t seen it in at least 5 years). Don’t plan to wait that long again.
