That's possible. However, the way I see it - if you're a true cinephile, it's almost certain that you would have seen this film already....at least once. I wasn't even born when this film was released. However, even before I became the hardcore movie fan that I am now, I remember first catching MC on a heavily edited TV broadcast in the late '80's. This viewing (as flawed as it was) inspired me to check it out on VHS soon after.
