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.
The Black Hole was fun movie. I enjoyed it.
The movie QUADROPHENIA wasn't a rock opera. It wasn't even a musical.
10/10, wow, 1941, what a stinker!
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!
