OK but what about asking them about a movie they've seen at least SEVEN times, but it excludes Star Wars, Marvel, LOTR. movies they had on videotape or watched on basic cable movie channels in the 1980s, Klute for some reason, the even numbered Police Academies, AND Disney (live action only)?

Interesting notations on the back of this May 1947 picture in my grandmother's handwriting: "Ed and date/wife are there between Wilbur and Leon wife but he hid because he was a coach and didn't want his picture taken in a night club" Table with 7-Up bottles for 7 and 7's.
