{Film} Seen at last! Decades after the film was first released, I finally got around to watching this movie!
Have finally seen this film! . . . decades (or, at least, many years) after it was released in the cinema.
These are mainly classic/well-known movies that I had always wanted to see. A few are less well known, but are movies I had meant to view for a long time . . . or, having now watched them, wish I had known about the movie's existence earlier: it was that good!
Some of the movies are films of which I had previously caught a few snippets or fragments - if I was passing by the TV during broadcasts - but never had I seen the movie in its entirety.
Till now! :-)
