If I had to say one thing I do which would really argue a case of OCD it would be my cinema list. As a kid I never really went to the cinema very much at all. Doing so was a rare thing as my family had never really been into going and as the old style cinema's closed down it meant travelling out of town and we didn't have a car at the time. So in my late teens it was something that really exploded in my list of likes and I've been a lot in the years since then.
Years ago I was trying to recall what I'd seen up to that point after a conversation with friends and to aid memory I wrote all the films down in a list. Eventually I had a definitive list that if I lost it, it would be impossible for me to put it back together again. So I kept it... and kept on updating it. Now, it's a monster. The next film that I go to watch, whatever it ends up being, will be the 600th unique film I've seen at the cinema.
It was on realising this that I figured I should try and put the list to some kind of use. So, here we are with a new thread that aims to tickle your nostalgia bones.
Semi-regularly I'm going to update this thread with a new film for us to share our thoughts on. It could be your nostalgic memories, review, discussions etc. Maybe it'll be something you forgot you'd seen or think of watching for the first time after seeing the thread. The only governing rule is that we'll be following the journey from the very beginning and in the order they're on the list, which is the same order I viewed them at the cinema.
I warn you, there's some real duffers in there and some films I'd forgotten existed. But when we begin... the Cinema Picture Show will debut with a true, beloved classic.
The movie... is about to begin...
