The tables below highlight the films that motivated me to venture out of my home and head to the cinema for a viewing. Are these all the movies? Certainly not! Yet, they likely encompass around 95% of them. What’s remarkable is how contemplating certain films triggers a “thread of a memory.” These recollections include the individuals I watched the movie with, the location, any noteworthy experiences during the viewing, and my overall opinion of the film. I doubt this will captivate anyone unrelated to me, but delving into decades of movie-watching experiences proved to be an enjoyable exercise.
