List of films I viewed during my childhood up to 1986 that I haven’t seen since that time period. Most anyway. A few I may have rewatched in the 90s but don’t recall exactly the last time I viewed them.
Only counting films that I originally saw during that period i.e. if I watched a 1985 release for the first time in 1990 it would not be on this list. Officially started the project with a viewing of THE EVIL (1978) on August 22, 2013. Most of these are tagged “Childhood Movie” as they are logged.
If I watch one of these and determine that I did not view this during my childhood, I remove it from the list. Most recent example was STARMAN.
