DashFlix is a guide to 161 English-language films made from 1970 to 1989. Each film has a page with its cast, a summary and a Watch now button.

What are the four laps?

Five-year spans: 1970 to 1974 with 28 films, 1975 to 1979 with 30, 1980 to 1984 with 30 and 1985 to 1989 with 73.

Does DashFlix host the films?

DashFlix is a guide only. Watch now opens JustWatch for the country you choose, which lists the subscription, rental, purchase and free services carrying the film.

Which films have the highest scores?

Polly at 8.2 and Anne of Green Gables at 8.1, followed by Stand and Deliver at 7.8 and four films at 7.7, among them The Breakfast Club and Rain Man.

Is the guide suitable for families?

Yes. Every film was screened by hand, and 65 of the 161 are marked as family viewing, from The Railway Children to Return to Oz.

Are television films included?

Yes. Twenty-one films first made for television are listed, among them Jane Eyre, Elvis and The Secret Garden.

Are there films from outside Hollywood?

Thirty-seven come from Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, including Local Hero, Storm Boy and Anne of Green Gables.

Which is the oldest film?

The guide begins in 1970 with The Railway Children, Monte Walsh and a television Jane Eyre.

My Garage is a personal list kept in the browser. A button on each film page adds or removes the film, and the pink button in the header opens the list.

Is an account needed?

The whole guide is open to every visitor. Search, the four laps and My Garage all work from the first visit.

How do I find a film quickly?

Type part of its name, an actor or a year in the search box, press a lap in the menu, or open the A-Z index.

Is the design copied from an older site?

The design is original. The archive holds only parking pages under this name, so the look was made for this guide.
