...which is where, when you're at work, and through no prompting or cause, you suddenly remember a film that you rarely see on the box anymore, even though it was screened quite a bit some time ago, in the remaining blush of youth you had left.
I recalled Little Big Man with Dustin Hoffman as an old, decrepit hospital-bound Indian survivor, recounting to a hack his days in the last fits and starts of the Wild West. It was a western with lashings of humour and good viewing in all, and I recall especially the astounding ageing make-up job (by Dick Smith) on Hoffman, who was totally unrecognisable under very convincing latex appliances. I don't know where the recollection came from and why it popped up, but the question just sprang up: where did it go and why is it rarely seen- if ever - nowadays?
Any other examples?
