The movies beginning this page were a turning point for my movie experience.
They marked the beginning of my encounter with old-school movies. As you can
see in the first page, there is hardly any title before 1990. However, beginning
this page, hardly any title will post-1990 productions. Of course, my roots are in the 90s
enhanced wuxia, and that will never change no matter how many old school movies I see.
