This page lists the films I've watched that were released in the pre 1990s period. I use this list to remind myself which films I've watched so I can work on their Wikipedia articles. I include my opinions of the films, so I can prioritise working on the articles of films I really enjoyed or of films that elicited a strong reaction from me like sadness or anger or joy or pride.
