I have now watched 38 films from 1979. A list of these can be found here. From the 1001 Movies List, I have not seen Stalker, The Tin Drum or Christ Stopped at Eboli. Here are my favorites of th year.
Breaking Away directed by Peter Yates
Manhattan directed by Woody Allen
Alien directed by Ridley Scott
Apocalypse Now directed by Francis Ford Coppola
The Black Stallion directed by Carroll Ballard
The Marriage of Maria Braun/Die Ehe der Maria Braun directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder
Wise Blood directed by John Huston
Amator directed by Krzysztof Kieslowski
Best Boy directed by Ira Wohl

And so starts 1980. The list I will pick from is here.
A good list. Again, I have a feeling Christ stopped at Eboli would have one a place here.
I think it was the second Alien movie James Cameron directed. We were watching it last night.
Oh yes, it was Ridley Scott! Thanks, correction shall be made. I’m quite sure I would have loved Eboli as I have never seen Gian Maria Volonte give less than a stellar performance.
