Movies of a Lifetime

3577 items • Updated 5/7/2026

On 1997 I created a Word document to write down of the movies and shorts I watched in cinema. It has survived several PCs and I continue updating it every time I back to the cinema, hence the accuracy of the data. This is the list of these movies I've seen in a theater on my life, indicating: genres and subgenres all at once in alphabetical order; country or countries of origin, as they are enlisted in IMDb; date and place where and when I watched them including outdoor cinemas and special events, and how old I was when I watched them. Also there are a few terms coined by me: • "A Hanks": at late 90s, in the Spanish cinema magazine "Imágenes de Actualidad" (1985; "Imágenes" for short) existed a little section to read real-life quotes from actors, actresses and directors. Once I read one attributed to Tom Hanks (rough translation): «A good movie is the one that you leave the cinema telling yourself “thank God for that I have watched it”». Leaving aside the religious reference, this is how I call a movie that it makes say to me "thank for have watching it" after I leave the cinema. • "A Heston": it refers when I watch a movie in an empty cinema, and I am the only one viewer. The name comes from The Omega Man (1971), when Charlton Heston's character, Robert Neville, is in an empty cinema watching Woodstock (1970). • Doublet: two movies watched in the same day. • VOSE (not mine): stands for "Versión Original Subtitulada en Español". Translated to English as 'Original Version Subtitled in Spanish'. Any movie of this list with that label means that it wasn't premiered or re-released with Spanish dubbing. This list was started in IMDb on May 1, 2023.
