I have been watching movies for almost 40 years. This would be an exercise in futility. What is the point of this thread, anyway? Not all of us save our ticket stubs....

I don't have them from my childhood, but I used to keep my stubs once I started going by myself as a teen to movies. I have an Excel file in which I've tracked them, too. Quit rolling your eyes and being snotty about not having kept stubs from 40+ years of movie-going, and let those who do enjoy compiling this kind of thing have their thread.

Not trying to be snotty...just don't see the point. Well, have at it, then. I'll look at other threads that I find more interesting. Enjoy!

I'll chalk this up to another one of those threads where half the people don't read the beginning of the initial post, then just assume everything else so they can find reason to bitch and complain.

So you don't find this thread interesting.. yet you click on it anyway, don't read the first post, then complain and act like that. Awesome.

Obviously you don't read.

Actually, I do find this thread interesting. I'm sorta shocked at how few movies some people have seen in the theater. In my family, it has always been a pastime.

If you reread my post, you'll notice I wasn't poo-pooing the thread, I just couldn't imagine the time it would take for me to compile my own list.
