I saw Alien on release with my dad. Even my dad was scarred to death. I can not over state the greatness of seeing this and knowing nothing. Still today it is so eerie.

I wanted to see "Boulevard Nights" so bad when it debuted, but there was such a heavy handed attempt by our Mayor to discourage attendance due to possible gang violence at the cinemas that I didn't get to see it until 2002
Great video! Now I have a couple of more films to watch for thanks to your ratings. Definitely agree with your #1 and #2 Two or three or...four of my favorites from '79 not mentioned; "The Black Stallion" "Who'll Stop The Rain" "Prince Of The City" which is my second favorite film involving the New York City Police Department, after 1996's "Cop Land" And lastly the low, low, low budgeted Christian film from Victory Outreach Ministries "Duke Of Earl" The ending credit roll and accompanying music makes me cry every time...
@muhannadalnabulsi4266 Except, I've forgotten the original "Going In Style" I don't know how I managed to do that because it was one of my very favorites when it came out. I like the 2017 remake too. That duet with Ann Margaret and the late Alan Arkin is worth the price of admission alone.
My favorites include Life of Brian and Apocalypse Now. This video is a handy time capsule. I don't agree with many of your other choices, like 10 and your taste for violent movies.
1. Star Trek The Motion Picture 2. 1941 3. Alien 4. The Muppet Movie 5. The Jerk 6. Breaking Away 7. Moonraker 8. Superman II 9. The 36th Chamber of Shaolin 10. Star Wars (yes it was released again in 1979)
My 10 for 1979 10. Manhattan 9. Norma Rae 8. Kramer v Kramer 7. Breaking Away 6. Life of Brian 5. Tess 4. Stalker 3. Alien 2. Buffet Froid NUMBER ONE: APOCALYPSE NOW

@@dukecraig2402 dude...it's a just okay teen flick...just CHILL, dude. whatever U think is facts...like YOUR opinion on what's a good F-ing movie...is all SUBJECTIVE. rather than be a JERK about it, just put out YOUR own friggin' list.
Here's my top ten 1. The Warriors 2. Apocalypse Now 3. Hair 4. Over The Edge 5. Fast Break 6. Quadrophenia 7. Scum 8. Disco Godfather 9. Meatballs 10. The Wanderers
Quadrophenia is exponentially better than Tommy. You seemed stuck for a second film adaptation of an album and you could maybe have gone with The Wall. That's much better than Tommy as well. I'm just not much of a Ken Russell fan though he did make a couple really good ones.
Yea, when he said that Quadraphinia was the best adaptation of an album into a movie I immediately thought "You've never heard of The Wall?". Which reminds me of one of the greatest bits of music trivia ever, Toni Tennille of Captain&Tennille sang backup on The Wall, she's listed in the credits on the back and the credits in the movie, and no, it's not another woman with the same name it's actually her, she even talks about it in an interview here on RU-vid. Not a music connection most people would make.
