With one thing or another, it took me 18 months to watch less than 40 films for 1978. I hope to get through 1979 at a more normal rate! Anyhow, the following were my favorite films of those I watched. I watched Reinhard Hauff’s Knife in the Head years ago. It features Bruno Ganz in a fabulous performance as an amnesiac with a traumatic brain injury. It would probably be on the list if it had been accessible to me during this round.
The Last Waltz (dir. Martin Scorsese)
Days of Heaven (dir. Terence Malik)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (dir. Philip Kaufman)
Dawn of the Dead (dir. George Romero)
Autumn Sonata (dir. Ingmar Bergman)
The Buddy Holly Story (dir. Steve Rash)
La Cage aux Folles (dir. Edouard Molinaro)
Beauty and the Beast (Panna a netvor) (dir. Juraj Herz)
Gates of Heaven (dir. Errol Morris)
