Movies the year you were 12 meme
MEMEOMGTIEM.
I'm so terrible about updating lately (Twitter is my true social networking home these days) but here is a fun meme stolen from bistyboo1974 and babettew54:
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.
[I am also adding D! for "I SHOULD own this on DVD", and N! for "Why haven't I watched this? Adding to Netflix queue NOW." Several I had on VHS or Videodisc as a teen, though.]
