Movies When I Was Twelve.

Meme Confusing meme actually. The idea is ...
Go to Wikipedia (as the most convenient resource), and copy the list of movies that were released in the year when you were 12 years old. Mark in italics the movies that you've seen. (Not necessarily that year.) Mark in bold the movies that you own on video, DVD, Blu-Ray or whatever.
... except its not clear if this is supposed to be the films that were released in the year you became twelve, which would be 1986 for me, or during the year spend at 12 years old, 1987. Also it doesn't cope with films I own but haven't seen yet.

Since I was born at the end of October, here are 1987's films.  Not a bad year all told, but it's worth noting how few of the relatively minor works aren't available now.

  1. I wouldn't be much cop at this, given that I barely went to the cinema even in childhood and own no movies on DVD etc at all.
