Best movie from 1979 was Alien. I saw it as a double feature with the Star Trek movie. Star Trek movie was boring & slow paced. Alien was so intense & I saw it recently & it holds up.
3/10 anothor three?
8 out of 10. Saw "The Black Hole" and hated it. One of the worst Sci- Fi movies that I ever watched

The Black Hole was fun movie. I enjoyed it.
I really didn't like it. Thought the acting was sub par and the special effects were not that Great. You might like "Silent Running" it's a Bruce Dern Film.
The movie QUADROPHENIA wasn't a rock opera. It wasn't even a musical.
Don't even remember that film.

4/10 = EEESH! LOL
10/10, wow, 1941, what a stinker!
No, it's an underrated classic!!
No.I have to agree with Barry22 it was a stinker.
9/10 missed #6
10/10! Most of these were DUHS because the wrong answers weren't 1979! 9 is really DUH because the correct answer ts right there on the poster 3 times [not to mention we all saw the FX show with Sam Rockwell]!
I must really be dumb, then. #9 is the only one I missed! I got all the others right. I remember all the hype about "All That Jazz" at the time, but I never actually saw it. I just can't believe that I didn't notice the name "BOB FOSSE" in ALL CAPS on the poster they showed here!
Yep, he wrote, directed, and co-produced it! And really, Jolson's film was 30 years earlier!

Guessed on all that Jazz bt did see the movie. The Rose is my mom's favorite movie, Bette Midler playing
Janis Joplin!
Janis Joplin!
Not really but sorta! The producers created a fictional character because they couldn't get the rights! Still a great movie!
1 or two of those I never saw the sting one and being there a couple I guessed on too but still got a decent score. LOL.
