Just rewatched “The Conversation” for the first time in nearly 30 years.

Just rewatched “The Conversation” for the first time in nearly 30 years. I think. I’m pretty sure I saw it once before, even recall the circumstances I saw it under. I remember enjoying it a great deal, thought Gene Hackman was superb.
Only… while watching it tonight, I realized I had no memory of it at all. None. Not a single scene or character rang any bells. Surely I’d have remembered that Han Solo was in it, right? At the very least, I should have known what conversation the title was referring to. But it was like I was watching it for the first time.
So, either I didn’t see it like I thought I had (but then, what mid-70s Gene Hackman movie did I see back then?), or my brain is rotting inside my skull. Given the preponderance of supporting evidence collected over the years, I lean toward the latter.
