How this list is made

Includes films in Codexery film codexes first released in the 1980s whose infobox gives a running time in minutes. Where several cuts are listed, the first figure in the infobox is used. Values are copied from structured data already on each Codexery page and re-checked against the linked source; nothing on this page is estimated or written by a model. Spot an error?
