sphinxvictorian:
Here's a meme for you. Go to Wikipedia and look up the films from the year you turned 12. Why 12? I have no idea, though I'd venture to guess that it's a point at which you've passed beyond kiddie movies and are starting to be able to appreciate flicks aimed at a broader market. Italicize the ones you've seen, bold the ones you own. Easy-peasy.
I'm just going comment next to the films, though.
I was 12 in 10, directed by Blake Edwards, starring Dudley Moore, Julie Andrews and Bo Derek - Sort of saw it. I think I saw bits on television eventually. I do remember the hair style inflicted upon the world because of this movie, though.
1941, directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi - nope
A Little Romance, directed by George Roy Hill, starring Laurence Olivier, Diane Lane and Sally Kellerman - OMG I loved this movie. LOVED it. Spoke to the romantic in my 12 year old soul.
A Perfect Couple - nope
Alien, directed by Ridley Scott, starring Tom Skerritt, Sigourney Weaver, Veronica Cartwright, John Hurt, Ian Holm, Harry Dean Stanton and Yaphet Kotto - not then. I remember people talking about it, and some people I knew had the poster. I think I saw it eventually on cable/video.
The Alien Encounters - nope
All That Jazz, directed by Bob Fosse, starring Roy Scheider and Jessica Lange - Palme d'Or winner - nope
The Amityville Horror, directed by Stuart Rosenberg, starring James Brolin, Margot Kidder and Rod Steiger - eventually. I did read the book when I was 10 or 11. There was a thing on television just recently about the 'real' history of that house. It was interesting.
…And Justice for All, directed by Norman Jewison, starring Al Pacino, John Forsythe and Christine Lahti - no
Apocalypse Now, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, starring Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall, Martin Sheen, Dennis Hopper, Harrison Ford - Palme d'Or winner - no no no
The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again - Um...maybe? I saw and loved the first one, so I can't imagine why I wouldn't have seen this one. I just can't remember.
Arabian Adventure - no
Ashanti, directed by Richard Fleischer, starring Michael Caine and Peter Ustinov - no
Banjo the Woodpile Cat - no
Being There, directed by Hal Ashby, starring Peter Sellers, Melvyn Douglas and Shirley MacLaine - no.
Beyond the Poseidon Adventure, directed by Irwin Allen, starring Michael Caine, Telly Savalas and Sally Field - no
Birth of The Beatles - no, but I may have to look this up on Netflix
The Black Hole, directed by Gary Nelson, starring Maximilian Schell, Anthony Perkins and Ernest Borgnine - no
The Black Stallion, starring Mickey Rooney - no. Don't think so
Breaking Away, directed by Peter Yates, starring Dennis Christopher, Dennis Quaid, Daniel Stern, Jackie Earle Haley and Barbara Barrie - actually yeah. My dad went to school with...well possibly Dennis Christopher, I can't remember. One of the actors in this, anyway.
The Brood, directed by David Cronenberg, starring Oliver Reed and Samantha Eggar - nope
Butch and Sundance: The Early Days - nope
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century - nope. This was a movie, too? I remember the television show around this time
The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie - nope
Bye Bye Brazil - nope
Caligula, directed by Tinto Brass, written by Gore Vidal, starring Malcolm McDowell, Teresa Ann Savoy, Helen Mirren and Peter O'Toole - ha. no. Well, I think I may have seen bits throughout my life. Oh, and hai Malcolm.
Carry On Emmannuelle, directed by Gerald Thomas, starring Kenneth Williams, Suzanne Danielle, Joan Sims and Kenneth Connor - nope
The Cat and the Canary - nope
The Champ, starring Jon Voight, Faye Dunaway and Ricky Schroder - I kind of remember seeing the end of this film on television. Spoiler alert - the Champ gets struck by a car and dies.

Cuba, directed by Richard Lester, starring Sean Connery, Brooke Adams and Chris Sarandon - nope
David - Golden Bear winner - nope
Don Giovanni, directed by Joseph Losey, starring Ruggero Raimondi, John Macurdy and Kiri Te Kanawa - nope. Least I don't think I ever did. I did see Don Giovanni at one point. Not sure if it was this version.
Dracula, directed by John Badham, starring Frank Langella as Dracula and Laurence Olivier as Van Helsing. With Trevor Eve - on cable/video. Was what sucked (ha) me into the whole vampire loving thing. Frank Langella was a fantastic Dracula. It's his fault they are all sexy now.
The Electric Horseman, directed by Sydney Pollack, starring Robert Redford and Jane Fonda - vaguely remember posters for this and stuff.
Escape from Alcatraz, directed by Don Siegel, starring Clint Eastwood, Patrick McGoohan and Fred Ward - Actually I did see this on video or cable or something eventually. Not sure why - totally not my kind of movie
The Fifth Musketeer, starring Sylvia Kristel, Ursula Andress and Beau Bridges - nope.
A Force of One, starring Chuck Norris and Jennifer O'Neill - nope
The Great Santini, starring Robert Duvall - nope.
Hair , directed by Milos Forman, starring John Savage, Treat Williams and Beverly D'Angelo - as a grown up on video. The play is better.

Jesus, directed by Peter Sykes and John Krisch, starring Brian Deacon - nope
Just You and Me, Kid - I saw this on video or cable or something. Brooke Shields and George Burns. I quite liked it. I always loved George Burns.
Killerfair directed by Robert Zemeckis, starring James Coburn - Nope
Kramer vs. Kramer, directed by Robert Benton, starring Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep, both of whom won Oscars for their performances, Justin Henry and Jane Alexander - I did see this. It was the first movie I'd ever seen that had nudity in it. Also my first R rated movie, I think.
Love at First Bite, starring George Hamilton - eventually saw it on cable.
Mad Max, directed by George Miller, starring Mel Gibson - nope. Apt title nowadays for Mel, though y/y?
The Main Event, starring Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal - nope. I remember its release, though, for some reason.
Manhattan, directed by Woody Allen, starring Allen, Diane Keaton and Mariel Hemingway - nope. Never a big Woody Allen fan

Players - nope
The Prisoner of Zenda, starring Peter Sellers, Lynne Frederick and Lionel Jeffries
Prophecy - nope
The Prize Fighter - nope.
Quadrophenia, directed by Franc Roddam, starring Phil Daniels, Leslie Ash and Ray Winstone with music by The Who - eventually on cable or video. Mostly because Sting is in it. Very strange movie. My friend and I did go around singing 'we are the Mods, we are the Mods, we are we are we are the Mods' for ages, though.
Rock 'n' Roll High School, produced by Roger Corman, featuring The Ramones
Rocky II, Starring Sylvester Stallone - happy to say I've never seen any of the Rocky movies.
Roller Boogie - no. Bet it's nice and silly though.
The Rose, directed by Mark Rydell, starring Bette Midler, Alan Bates and Frederic Forrest - saw bits of it on cable. When I was in summer camp in 1979, someone had the soundtrack and so I knew the songs. Especially the title song. When I finally started watching it on cable my dad made me turn it off because every third word was a curse word. I was probably still around 12 at the time.

Stay As You Are, starring Marcello Mastroianni and Nastassja Kinski (American release)
Take Down - nope.
Tess, directed by Roman Polanski, starring Nastassja Kinski - nope. I think this was around the time she did that 'snake photo'.
The Third Generation - nope
Time After Time, starring Malcolm McDowell and Mary Steenburgen - On cable eventually. Great movie. I forgot it was Malcolm McDowell. One of his non-villian roles, I should think. Hm...I wonder if I can stream it on Netflix.
The Tin Drum, directed by Volker Schlondorff, starring David Bennent - Palme d'Or winner - nope
Ultraman: Great Monster Decisive Battle - There was a movie? I don't remember a movie.
Vengeance Is Mine, directed by Shohei Imamura, starring Ken Ogata - Nope
The Warriors, directed by Walter Hill, starring Michael Beck and James Remar - I think I saw bits of it eventually on cable, but I do remember the bruhaha that this movie caused. It's Turning Kids Into Violent Gangs!
Wolfman - nope
Woyzeck, directed by Werner Herzog, starring Klaus Kinski and Eva Mattes - nope
Zulu Dawn, starring Peter O'Toole, Burt Lancaster and Simon Ward - nope
Crikey that was long. Makes me want to look up all the movies througout my childhood years to see which ones I remember seeing in the theatre. I am willing to bet Charlie's seen more in his lifetime then I did in the same amount of years.
